There are several points to pay attention to when cleaning the ton barrel:

  1. When cleaning the ton barrel, the main goal is to remove residues and odors. Common cleaning methods include mixing millet, dishwashing liquid, and warm water together, then pouring it into the ton barrel, shaking it vigorously, and rinsing it clean. If these materials are not available, salt and laundry detergent can be used as substitutes, with equally noticeable cleaning effects.
  2. Different stains require different methods. For example, if it is an oily stain, aromatic solvents can be used for cleaning, such as toluene or xylene; if it is a water-based resin, alcohol or ethanol can be used for cleaning; if it is epoxy resin, xylene or benzene, or 200# solvent oil can be used for cleaning; if there is a residual adhesive layer, acetone can be used for soaking and scrubbing.
  3. It is important to note that the ton barrel must be dried after cleaning. If the ton barrel has contained acidic solutions, it should first be neutralized with the corresponding solvent before cleaning. The wastewater from cleaning the ton barrel should be treated before discharge, otherwise it will pollute the environment.

In summary, cleaning the ton barrel requires attention to selecting the appropriate cleaning agents and methods based on the type of stain, while also paying attention to the treatment of wastewater discharge to ensure that the environment is not polluted.
