Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus for the environmentally safe transfer and disposal of solvents, such as waste solvents, and eliminate atmospheric contamination from evaporated solvents. The apparatus may also be used for the transfer of solvents into storage containers for further recycling and re-use. In addition, the apparatus eliminates the multiple steps and tedious procedures that are typically required for transferring solvent into storage or waste containers for storage and disposal.

Abstract: A physiologically-balanced, ionized, acidic solution. The solution may be prepared by the electrolysis of a solution comprising a mixture of inorganic salts in physiologically balanced proportions. A mixture of inorganic salts and, optionally, minerals (such as metallic elements, for example, and not by way of limitation) is used in order to mimic the electrolyte concentration and mixture of body fluid in an isotonic state. The solution typically comprises halide salts of sodium, potassium, calcium, and other cations. Typically the halide is fluoride, chloride, bromide, or iodide; and most typically chloride. The halide-comprising acidic solution is physiologically balanced by the inclusion of elements such as sodium, potassium, magnesium, zinc, lithium, and beryllium in the solution. The composition of the invention is nontoxic and has antibacterial properties.
