      At least Nile is prepared to deal with the consequences. I can easily imagine someone giving up at any stage of this clean up and very unsafely disposing of their mistakes instead of doing further cleanup. To all the amateur chemists out there (that hopefully already know this) - dont ever do anything unless you are prepared to safely clean and dispose any byproducts.

So they Put the acid in an erlenmeyer flask and started adding solid NaOH to it. At some Point it got to Boiling and startet foaming over. Then the lab assistans got a big bowl of cold water to place the Flask in upright, so that the overflow would flow into the Water. But then the Flask fell over and the whole Thing just bubbled over the big bowl aswell and into the fumehood xD
      They spent another 30 min after the lab closed to clean the mess up. And they had to bring a cake for compensation for the whole lab (though mainly for the assistants ^^)

    I worked at a large electroplating plant that plated chrome as its last step. The chromic acid was hexavalent chrome so when rinsing the electroplated product, the water was contaminated. The water also was contaminated with sodium cyanide, copper and nickel salts. We had a large wastewater treatment system that eventually used large chain polymers to bind the metals to them, then add the waste water to a gargantuan clarification tank which also added a 'flocking material' to adhere to the polymers and sink them to the bottom. The clean water would overflow at the top and go to the sewer system and the flocking material would be pumped to a press that squeezed the water out. What came out was the same color of green that you had before drying everything in the oven.

    In industry hex-chrome waste will typically be treated with sodium bisulfite or magnesium bisulfite at a low pH. Once the Cr is reduced you'd increase the pH to around 9 to the metal oxide. It would then be ran through a filter press to decrease the water however for handling reasons most undustrial users won't go below 10% water.
