Safe Cleaning of 1000L Mauser Tank Previously Containing Corrosive Rodine XL 1110

Best answers LABEL_AI_GENERATED

How can I safely clean a 1000 L plastic tank that previously contained corrosive Rodine XL 1110 so it can be used to store rainwater for watering vegetables?

Wash the tank thoroughly with water and detergent, then rinse it several times with clean water; if any residue remains, try to remove it mechanically and with a pressure washer inside the tank [#18725518][#18725904] If you want extra caution because the original chemical was marked corrosive, one suggested sequence was vinegar rinse, then water, then slaked lime (calcium hydroxide), and water again to neutralize possible acid or base residues [#18732848] A practical check is to take a small sample of any remaining deposit and see whether it dissolves in water or another cheap liquid; if it dries hard and does not dissolve, it is probably less of a concern [#18725904] One reply also noted that any trace release from the plastic is likely to be smaller than the contaminants rainwater can pick up from a roof [#18732689] Even so, there is no absolute guarantee that the tank is fully safe for vegetable watering [#18725904]

    Hello. To combat water shortages, I start collecting rainwater. I have a request, especially to "chemists". I have a 1000L Mauser tank, but the sticker on it says that there was a Rodine XL 1110 agent in there. I was looking for information about it and it is generally some sort of pickling agent. It has the inscription "corrosive" and the marking "Corrosive". What to rinse it with to be able to safely store rainwater that can be watered vegetables. Thank you and please help.

    What was it, and what was it used for?

    I do not know. I know from the net that it's some kind of corrosion inhibitor when etching metal. But there are many kinds of these Rodines. There is no information on Polish pages, I translated something from foreign pages. I have no contact with the person or company that uses such chemicals.

    Is there a little of it left or is the tank empty? If it was left, you can check if it is well soluble in water.
    I think it is enough to wash the tank well with water with the addition of detergent and rinse it several times with clean water.

    Take a sample from the inside and try to dissolve it in any liquid, starting with the cheapest one for you.
    When it has dried, the shells can be broken by hitting the walls of the canister, the rest with a pressure washer - put the lance inside.
    When dried, it does not dissolve in anything, leave a piece in water and observe. If nothing changes, the water for your grass should be safe too. No guarantee of course.

    I haven't written before due to lack of time. Today I'm getting the hang of it. The tank is generally clean and dry, it looks like it has been rinsed because there are no deposits. The smell is so plastic, you can't feel anything except the smell (probably only) of the tank. I will. I spray with Dimera solution (alkaline agent).

    I wash it with a pressure washer. This year I will only water the grass and next year the vegetables. Maybe that's enough.
    Can such chemistry eat into the plastic and release it for a long time?

    In trace amounts, yes, but probably more chemicals will fall from the roof with rainwater than will be released from the walls of this tank.

    If it's corrosive, it may have been a strong acid or base. The advantage of this is that one neutralizes the other. Maybe a vinegar rinse first, then water, then calcium hydroxide ( slaked lime ) and again water ...

    It's hard to disagree with this, because the water that I collected into the barrel from the roof on which the chimney is located is unlikely to be suitable for watering. It's the first rain we've seen since the end of winter, and it washed the roof clean. The water was black, I poured new water and it is clean.

    Thanks gentlemen for the advice, in the coming days I will implement it, it will not work right away because the business starts to develop after the downtime, you have to move to earn something. Thanks again.
