摘要 |
A chemical composition is disclosed herein for performing a neutralization of glutaraldehyde vapors, control of incidental releases, detoxification and disposal of spent or unused aqueous and/or non-aqueous glutaraldehyde solutions, and feasible conversion of the waste glutaraldehyde into a raw compound for the pharmaceutical industry. The composition is consisting essentially of an aliphatic 1,2-diketone, the diacetyl (or biacetyl) for reacting with glutaraldehyde vapors and with glutaraldehyde in aqueous and/or non-aqueous solutions; ammonium hydroxide for cross-linking with diacetyl and glutaraldehyde, and, beta-cyclodextrin for enhancing the cross-linking, for adjusting the conversion of glutaraldehyde, and for molecularly encapsulating polyethylene glycol and/or other ingredients.
