N-NITROSODI-N-BUTYLAMINE is a nitrated azo derivative. Azo, diazo, azido compounds can detonate. This applies in particular to organic azides that have been sensitized by the addition of metal salts or strong acids. Toxic gases are formed by mixing materials of this class with acids, aldehydes, amides, carbamates, cyanides, inorganic fluorides, halogenated organics, isocyanates, ketones, metals, nitrides, peroxides, phenols, epoxides, acyl halides, and strong oxidizing or reducing agents. Flammable gases are formed by mixing materials in this group with alkali metals. Explosive combination can occur with strong oxidizing agents, metal salts, peroxides, and sulfides.

Strong oxidants (peracids) oxidize it to corresponding nitramine; can be reduced to corresponding hydrazine and or amine.

When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of /nitrogen oxide/.

AEROBIC: Biodegradation data for N,N-dibutylnitrosoamine were not located(SRC, 2005), however data were available for the structurally similar compounds N-nitrosodi-n-propylamine and N-nitrosodiethylamine. In one study, settled domestic wastewater was used as the inoculum for static biodegradation tests on N-nitrosodi-n-propylamine(1). The biodegradation after 7 days incubation each in the original culture and the first, second, and third subcultures at an initial N-nitrosodi-n-propylamine concentration of 5 mg/l was 27%, 37%, 47%, and 50%, respectively(1). At an initial concentration of 10 mg/L, the degradation was 0%, 8%, 40%, and 40%, respectively(1). In municipal activated sludge treatment plants, N-nitrosodi-n-propylamine influent concentrations of 0.5 and 6.7 ug/L were reduced by 88 and 99%, respectively(2). However, 0% removal of N-nitroso-n-propylamine was reported at two industrial activated sludge treatment plants with an average N-nitrosodi-n-propylamine influent concentration of 11 mgL(2). No biodegradation of N-nitrosodi-n-propylamine occurred in die-away tests in Cayuga Lake water (New York) over a period of 3.5 months, and a lag of nearly 30 days was observed before its slow disappearance from soil(3). N-Nitrosodi-n-propylamine's half-life in aerobic soils under laboratory conditions was about 3 weeks with volatilization and biodegradation being the primary removal processes(4). N-Nitrosodiethylamine, at 18.0 ppm in lake water, was essentially unchanged after 108 days incubation in the dark at 30 deg C(3). While the level of N-nitrosodiethylamine amended with raw sewage at pH 6.0 slowly decreased from approximately 17 ppm to 12 ppm over 14 days, the fact that the decrease was nearly the same in sterilized samples indicates that abiotic factors may have been responsible for the loss(3). N-Nitrosodiethylamine has been shown to slowly degrade in soil after a lag period. In one study, 50% of 14C-N-nitrosodiethylamine was mineralized from Matapeake loam soil in over a week at 30 deg C(4). Based on the data for these structurally similar compounds, biodegradation may be an important fate process for N,N-dibutylnitrosoamine in the environment.

An estimated BCF of 59 was calculated for N,N-dibutylnitrosoamine(SRC), using a log Kow of 2.63(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is moderate(SRC), provided the compound is not altered physically or chemically once released into the environment.

The Koc of N,N-dibutylnitrosoamine is estimated as 642(SRC), using a log Kow of 2.63(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that N,N-dibutylnitrosoamine is expected to have low mobility in soil.

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.

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.
