Battery acid spillage

[bread bin]

I spilt battery acid in the foot well of my truck is there anyway to remove acid? as any metal that touches the carpet on the foot well gets eaten by the Acid. Thanks

I've always used boiling water straight out of a kettle on bodywork and the batteries themselves but google might tell you to get some soda crystals or something.

Alkaline solutions to Neutralise.

 

[bread bin]

Thanks for the replies will try the bi carb

 

[Ivorbiggun]

You need to worry about the fumes too.

 

[yellow belly]

Neutralise using lime or bicarb

 

[ridger]

Years ago we used to use sulphuric acid ( same as battery acid but not battery acid ) on silage, feeding in through the forager. If we had to do any repairs on the forager your clothes would fall apart as soon as they had been through the washing machine, glad to say that it had no effect whatsoever, on the gentleman's parts

used to spray the stuff on tatties to kill the haulm, no cab, donkey jacket pulled up over head and try and work with the wind in my favour. ppe consisted of rubber gauntlets which got contaminated and by the time the season was finished my hands were so sore i could hardly put them in water. happy days? mind you we got sixpence an acre bonus and a shilling an acre bonus for dinoseb which was even worse as it was a poison.

Many years ago I was sat in a little Leyland 802 with twin axle trailer trying to keep up with a shiny new 400hp forager (big machine back then) which was grand until it came to anything resembling a slope. The fellow on the forager was an evil b'stard loved by no one and handy with a knife I was told, he had no intention of slowing down or making any allowance for the disparity in power, instead, he'd joyfully fill the cab with acid soaked grass through the back window and over those few days I watched my clothing gently dissolve from about my person, a sight which would have doubtless impressed both your good lady and that of Ivorbiggun!

Acid + Alkali = Salt + Water

But salt and water are corrosive!! o'Bugger

Not as simple as that. Some salts are corrosive, but only when the hydrogen balance is that way inclined.
as it is 50 odd years since I was at school I will let someone else fill this in, hopefully

While since I was there too......anionic salts would be positively charged....i think......so will be hunting for electrons....so will cause oxidation of metals.....someone put us out our misery please!!

Does that mean the OP will get electrocuted as well as melted and rusted.....revenge of the battery abuse!
