SECTION 13: Disposal considerations

Waste treatment methods

Incompatibilities

Aldehydes are frequently involved in self-condensation or polymerization reactions. These reactions are exothermic; they are often catalyzed by acid. Aldehydes are readily oxidized to give carboxylic acids. Aldehydes can react with air to give first peroxo acids, and ultimately carboxylic acids. Presumed to form explosive peroxides on contact with air and light.
