Shipping Requirements
Sodium Hydrosulfide (NaHS) is classified as a corrosive and toxic liquid. The Proper Shipping Description is:UN2922 Corrosive liquids, toxic, n.o.s., 8(6.1), PG II (sodium hydrosulfide solution)
Bulk shipments are placarded “Corrosive”.

KNOW THE PRODUCT!
Read the MSDS
![Page 8: Recommended Procedures for Truck Unloading€¦ · for Truck Unloading TDC, LLC 1916 Farmerville Hwy. Ruston LA 71270. The following presentation was designed to provide specific](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022053117/6099cea9dedc967f51524856/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Sodium Hydrosulfide (NaHS) is very alkaline (pH 11.5-12.5) and very corrosive to the skin.
Solution is typically yellow to dark green with a strong hydrogen sulfide (rotten egg) odor.
Solutions are 20% to 45% strength and weigh 9.6 –10.9 ppg.
The vapor space over NaHS solutions contains highly toxic hydrogen sulfide (H2S). This gas is colorless and heavier than air. The level of H2S above the solution is increased by solution contact with acidic materials, heating the solution and dilution, which lowers the pH of the solution.

H2S + NaOH = NaHS + H2OHydrogen Sulfide Gas + Caustic Soda = Sodium Hydrosulfide + Water
NaHS is manufactured by reacting Hydrogen Sulfide Gas (H2 S) with Sodium Hydroxide (Caustic Soda) (NaOH).

Small Releases
• Confine and absorb small releases with sand, earth or other inert absorbent.
• Oxidize the residual reactive sulfides with a weak (3-5%) hydrogen peroxide solution. Note: Normal drug store hydrogen peroxide is 3%.
• If unavailable, diluted common household bleach may be substituted. Diluted peroxide and bleach minimize the potential for the release of H2 S vapors.

Large Releases
• Wear proper protective equipment.• Confine area to qualified personnel.• Shut off release if safe to do so.• Dike spill area to prevent runoff into sewers,
drains or surface waterways.• Recover as much of the solution as possible.• Treat remaining material as a small release.

Hydrogen Peroxide
• Commercially purchased 35% Hydrogen Peroxide must be diluted to 3–5% before it can be used to oxidize small spills.
• Do not attempt to oxidize a NaHS spill with 35% Hydrogen Peroxide.
• Review the 35% Hydrogen Peroxide label and MSDS before handling and diluting and wear the required Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

Diluting 35% Hydrogen Peroxide to a 3-5% Solution1. Add approximately one-half (1/2) gallon or 1.89 liters of 35% peroxide to a clean/dry, appropriately labeled 5-gallon bucket.
2. Add approximately 4 and one-half (4 ½) gallons or 17.03 liters of water to the bucket. Wear the required PPE.

MAN DOWN !
In the event you find a coworker unconscious at the worksite and you suspect H2 S vapors are present
DO NOT attempt a rescue until you have:
1. Notified other personnel, and
2. Donned breathing air (SCBA).
3. Always use the buddy system

FIRE !
•Sodium Hydrosulfide Solution is non- flammable.
• If exposed to heat or acids, H2 S will be released and may form explosive mixtures with the air.
•If the railcar is exposed to fire, cool it with a water spray.
•Remember heating may cause the release of Hydrogen Sulfide vapors.
