Incompatibilities of concentrated nitric acid:Never mix concentrated nitric acid and organics, such asacetone, unless you are following a respectable procedureand use a blast shield and proper precautions.Never store mixtures of concentrated acids, particularlynitric acid, and organic or inorganic waste components;immediately dilute any mixtures generated fromconcentrated acids by slow addition to ice or water in anopen plastic container or a plastic bottle behind a shield orhood sash.

EPA's Chemical Compatibility ChartEPA-600/2-80-076 April 1980A METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE COMPATIBILITY OF CHEMICAL MIXTURESPlease Note: This chart is intended as an indication of some of the hazards that can be expected on mixing chemical wastes. Becauseof the differing activities of the thousands of compounds that may be encountered, it is not possible to make any chart definitive and allinclusive. It cannot be assumed to ensure compatibility of wastes because wastes are not classified as hazardous on the chart, nor do anyblanks necessarily mean that the mixture cannot result in a hazard occurring. Detailed instructions as to hazards involved in handlingand disposing of any given waste should be obtained from the originator of the waste.#REACTIVITY GROUP NAME1Acids, Mineral, Non-oxidizing2Acids, Mineral, Oxidizing3Acids, Organic4Alcohols and Glycols5AldehydesHHP6AmidesH78Amines, Aliphatic and AromaticAzo Compounds, DiazoCompounds and des, InorganicGT16Hydrocarbons, Aromatic17Halogenated PHP456HHGHHGHGTGFH,GTGFGT21KetonesHMercaptans and Other Organic GTSulfidesGFMetals, Alkali and Alkaline Earth, H,FElementalGFGTHFH,FGTH,FGTHFH,FGTH,FGF22Metals, Other Elemental & Alloys H,Fas Powders, Vapors, or Sponges GFH,FGFGFMetals, Other Elemental & Alloys H,Fas Sheets, Rods, Drops, etc.GFMetals and Metal 32425262728293031Nitro Compounds, OrganicHydrocarbons, Aliphatic,UnsaturatedHydrocarbons, Aliphatic,SaturatedPeroxides and Hydroperoxides,Organic32Phenols and hioates33Sulfides, Inorganic34101EpoxidesCombustible and FlammableMaterials, Miscellaneous102Explosives103Polymerizable Compounds104Oxidizing Agents, Strong105106Reducing Agents, StrongWater and Mixtures ContainingWater107Water Reactive GFHFHF9HGHGFGT10GHGHGUFFireGInnocuous and non-flammable gas generationGTToxic Gas formationGFFlammable Gas formationE7CONSEQUENCEHeat GenerationExplosionPViolent PolymerizationSSolubilization of toxic substanceUMay be hazardous, but H,P H,FGFEGTGFDO NOT MIX WITH ANY CHEMICAL OR WASTE MATERIAL!14HEHE31UHGTHPH,FGTHEPHHGHEHG2HGFHHF ---EXTREMELY REACTIVE!1HHE26105GFGT106105106EXTREMELY REACTIVE!--- 2728293031323334101102103104107107
