What should be done if acetic acid leaks?

[Leakage Disposal]: Evacuate personnel in the contaminated area of glacial acetic acid leakage to a safe area, prohibit irrelevant personnel from entering the contaminated area, and cut off the source of fire. It is recommended that emergency handling personnel wear self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical protective clothing. Do not directly contact the leaked substance, and plug the leak under the condition of ensuring safety. Spraying water mist can reduce evaporation, but do not let water enter the storage container. Absorb with sand, vermiculite or other inert materials, then collect and transport to a waste disposal site for disposal. It can also be rinsed with a large amount of water, and the diluted washing water can be discharged into the wastewater system. In case of a large amount of glacial acetic acid leakage, use dikes to contain it, then collect, transfer, recycle or discard it after harmless treatment.
[Engineering Control]: The production process should be closed, and ventilation should be strengthened.
