Hello Xuewu.

I am glad your ok from the simple lab slipup. Yikes!

Do you think you can use stainless steel vessels for the sodium chlorite-citric acid reaction to minimize injury from using glass?.

I have used stainless with proper gaskets and observation windows or site glasses on the sealed pressurized vessels under vacuum pressure.

Carpe Diem

I was negligent and did not follow standard procedures. Thank God for watching over me.

Yes indeed, you are blessed.

I have had friends have major 3rd degree burns in lab slip ups. They knew what they were doing and had done it a thousand times.

This is why I thought of a stainless steel reaction vessel so there are reduced work hazards. Just a thought

Have a great week and Keep up the great work
