used
(concentrated
sulfuric acid &
diluted solutions)
All work using sulfuric
acid must be
performed in a
ventilated fume hood.
Eye protection: Wear tightfitting safety goggles or safety
glasses with side shields.
When working with concentrated
sulfuric acid, it is important to make
sure the work area is free of any
bases which may react violently
with the acid.
Face protection: Wear a
face shield when not
protected by a lab hood sash.
!
Gloves: Wear Butyl or
Butyl/Viton gloves when
handling sulfuric acid.
Remove gloves as soon as
contaminated.

When diluting sulfuric acid with
water, the concentrated sulfuric
acid should be added slowly to
water to minimize the exothermic
nature of the reaction and any
dangers from splashing.
!
Notes
"#$$#%&$'!
Clothing: Wear lab coat, full
length pants or equivalent;
and close-toed closed heeled
shoes. Wear acid resistant
apron when pouring
concentrated sulfuric acid.!
Any deviation from this SOP requires approval from PI.#

Precautions for safe handling
Do not allow water to get into the container because of violent reaction. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on
clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Use only with adequate ventilation. Do not breathe spray or mist.
Do not use with metal spatula or other metal items. Inform laundry personnel of contaminant's hazards.
When diluting sulfuric acid, always add acid (slowly) to cooled water. Never add water to acid.
Conditions for safe storage
Do not store near combustible materials. Keep container closed when not in use. Store in a cool, dry, and
well-ventilated area, away from incompatible substances. Do not store near alkaline substances. Store
protected from moisture. Ideally, sulfuric acid should be stored in isolation from all other chemicals in an
approved acid or corrosives safety cabinet. Sulfuric Acid is incompatible with metals, oxidizing agents,
reducing agents, bases, acrylonitrile, chlorates, finely powdered metals, nitrates, perchlorates,
permanganates, epichlorohydrin, aniline, carbides, fulminates, picrates, organic materials, flammable
liquids.
