The chemical compatibility charts found online show Toluene and Phosphoric Acid as being unsafe. Can someone please confirm the reason why? Does the unsafe compatibiltiy apply to DMT extractions in an hazardous or toxic way? Or does it only apply to storage situations?
For example, if dilute phosphoric acid solution is used for an acid boil, is it then unsafe to use Toluene for a defat? Would Toluene still be unsafe to use after basifying with NaOH?
