Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains.
Discharge into the environment must be avoided.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up Pick up and arrange disposal without creating dust. Sweep up and shovel. Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.
Reference to other sections For disposal see section 13.

Precautions for safe handling For precautions see section 2.2.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities  
Storage conditions
Tightly closed. Dry.
Caution: the anhydrous form of this material has been reported to have the following
hazards associated with it. Prolonged storage of anhydrous aluminum chloride in closed
containers has resulted in spontaneous decomposition and occasional explosion upon
opening the container probably due to the diffusion of moisture into the container with
resulting pressure build-up due to liberated hydrogen chloride gas. When heated in a
sealed tube, high internal pressure may be generated due to not only its vapor pressure
and pressure of desorbed hydrogen chloride, but also by the near doubling in volume which occurs when the material melts to the monomer. Mixtures of nitrobenzene and aluminum chloride are thermally unstable and may lead to explosive decomposition due to a multistep decomposition reaction occurring above 90°C, which self-accelerates with high exothermicity producing azo- and azoxypolymers. Violent exothermic reactions can occur upon aluminum chloride contacting: alkenes, a mixture of benzoyl chloride and naphthalene, a mixture of aniline and ethyleneimine, ethylene oxide, a mixture of sodium peroxide and aluminum. Aluminum chloride reacts explosively with: oxygen difluoride, phenyl azide, perchloryl benzene or sodium borohydride.
Moisture sensitive.
