What are the Safety Protocols for Handling Catalysts?
Handling catalysts often requires adherence to specific safety protocols:
1. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS): Always review the MSDS for each catalyst to understand its properties and hazards. 2. Fume Hoods: Perform reactions in a fume hood to limit exposure to harmful vapors or dust. 3. Spill Kits: Have spill kits readily available to manage accidental releases of catalysts or chemicals. 4. Training: Ensure all personnel are trained in the safe handling and disposal of catalysts and hazardous materials.
