3.6.3 Cautions on Static Electricity
Ignition of Flammable Chemicals by Static Electricity
When using flammable chemicals, be careful about possible
ignition due to static electricity. To prevent the build-up of
static electricity, use a conductive container for waste
solution and provide proper grounding connection to it.
Since flammable organic solvents are used for the High Speed
Liquid Chromatograph, be careful about heat and fire.
Since thin tubings are used for the liquid chromatograph, static
electricity is easily generated. If charged liquid is collected into
an insulated waste container, for example, and an electric
discharge occurs, flammable material if present may catch fire.
