A while back I thought I'd try my hand at doing some iron-etching. After a
few less than impressive attempts, and with the increasing realization that
nitric acid is tremendously nasty stuff, I'm now wanting to get rid of the
(almost) gallon I have. My local city Household Hazmat Disposal Center won't deal
with it, as it's not "household" waste, and the Business Hazmat Disposal Center
won't deal with it because I'm not a business.

I'm wondering if I could carefully effect some sort of dilution-process and
dispose of it myself, and I welcome any advice or suggestions, on-list or off.
Thanx....
