SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity
Reactivity
No rapid reaction with air. No rapid reaction with water.
Chemical stability
Stable under recommended storage conditions.
Possibility of hazardous reactions
Amines, such as AMPHETAMINE, are chemical bases. They neutralize acids to form salts plus water. These acid-base reactions are exothermic. The amount of heat that is evolved per mole of amine in a neutralization is largely independent of the strength of the amine as a base. Amines may be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. Flammable gaseous hydrogen is generated by amines in combination with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides.
Conditions to avoid
no data available
Incompatible materials
Incompatible materials: Acids, Oxidizing agents, Alkali metals, Strong oxidizing agents, Strong acids, Acid chlorides, Acid anhydrides, Reducing agents, Strong reducing agents, Phosphorus halides
Hazardous decomposition products
When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of nitroxides.

Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: Amphetamine, present at 800 ng/L, decreased in concentration to 120 and 190 ng/L over 15 days using river microcosm bioreactors with and without sediment, respectively, maintained under dark conditions at pH 8.3, 28.5 deg C and 7.1 mg/L dissolved oxygen. River water was collected from the River Avon at Saltford (West of Bath UK), collected during September 2011. Amphetamine, present at 475 ng/L, decreased in concentration to 120 and 0 ng/L in 8 days using river microcosm bioreactors with and without sediment, respectively, maintained under light conditions at pH 8.3, 28.5 deg C and 7.1 mg/L dissolved oxygen. River water was collected from the River Avon at Saltford (West of Bath UK), collected during September 2011(1).
Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 7 was calculated in fish for amphetamine(SRC), using a log Kow of 1.76(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(2), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).
Mobility in soil
Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of amphetamine can be estimated to be 760(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that amphetamine is expected to have low mobility in soil. The pKa of amphetamine is 10.13(3), indicating that this compound will exist almost entirely in the cation form in the environment and cations generally adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(4).
Other adverse effects
no data available
SECTION 13: Disposal considerations
Disposal methods
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.
