10.1 Reactivity
no data available
10.2 Chemical stability
Stable under recommended storage conditions.
10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactions
Aromatic nitro compounds, such as 2-NITROFLUORENE, range from slight to strong oxidizing agents. If mixed with reducing agents, including hydrides, sulfides and nitrides, they may begin a vigorous reaction that culminates in a detonation. The aromatic nitro compounds may explode in the presence of a base such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide even in the presence of water or organic solvents. The explosive tendencies of aromatic nitro compounds are increased by the presence of multiple nitro groups. Stable under normal conditions. Protect from bases.

12.2 Persistence and degradability
Levels of oxygen uptake for 500 mg/l of 2-nitro-9H-fluorene oxidized in activated sewage sludge suspensions with suspended solid concn of 2,500 ng/l did not differ from the controls(1,2). After 144 hours, oxygen consumptions were about 1800, 1700 and 300 mg/L for Franklin, Nashville and Ashland sludge, respectively(1), whereas, corresponding controls accounted for losses of approximately 1650, 1500 and 450 mg of oxygen per liter(1).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
Based on an estimated water solubility of 1.73 mg/L at 25°C(1) and an estimated log Kow of 3.97(2), the log BCF of 2-nitro-9H-fluorene has been calculated to range from 2.66 to 2.79 from various regression-derived equations(3,SRC). These log BCF values suggest 2-nitro-9H-fluorene has the potential to bioconcentrate in aquatic systems(SRC).
12.4 Mobility in soil
Based on an estimated water solubility of 1.73 mg/L at 25°C(1) and an estimated log Kow of 3.97(2), the Koc of 2-nitro-9H-fluorene has been calculated to range from 3200 to 3450 from various regression-derived equations(4,SRC). These Koc values indicate 2-nitro-9H-fluorene will be slightly mobile in soil(4).
12.5 Other adverse effects
no data available
13.Disposal considerations
13.1 Disposal methods
Product
The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.
Contaminated packaging
Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
