Consider that the 150-gallon acid spillage from the scenario in the previous activity (5.5)

5.6 – Assignment: Critical Thinking Problem.
Disposal of chemicals collected after a spillage is a common scenario in the manufacturing industry. Consider that the 150-gallon acid spillage from the scenario in the previous activity (5.5) is mopped up and collected properly in containers for disposal. There are several disposal options for this type of waste: acid purification and reuse, disposal at a chemical facility, neutralization with an alkali, incineration, and so forth. Incineration at the manufacturing facility is typically a good, viable option and sometimes implemented for such a disposal. Would you support the incineration of the collected spilled acid at your manufacturing facility as a final disposal approach? Would you consider incineration of the waste elsewhere? What are the critical considerations for, or against, this incineration approach? Submit a synopsis (about 150 words) of your findings in this scenario.
