Cleanup efforts are underway after a nitric acid spill occurred at the Radford Army Ammunition Plant. It happened in the railyard on Tuesday and was about ten times larger than initially estimated.

The process involved looks to recover copper and nitric acid from copper nitrate, a common waste byproduct of processing metal. While a process called thermal decomposition exists to accomplish ...

Officials say that around 10:00 a.m., there was a weak nitric acid spill in the railyard. One employee was evacuated via air to the hospital for assessment of potential injuries. SEE ALSO ...

RADFORD, Va. (WDBJ) - An employee at the Radford Army Ammunition Plant was released from a hospital the day after being admitted because of an acid spill. The spill of “weak nitric acid ...

The work is published in Nature Catalysis. "We've developed an electrochemical approach to converting NO, a toxic waste gas, into valuable nitric acid," Jiao said. "Our primary motivation is to ...

it involves highly reactive nitric acid and generates some toxic waste that is difficult to dispose of. Researchers at Wuhan and Northeastern universities in China have addressed these concerns by ...

Dilution with water produces heat. When diluting, always add acid slowly to water (do not add water to acid). Nitric acid is a powerful oxidizing agent and can react explosively with most organic ...
