[Chemical Knowledge]:Specification for storage and transport of alcohols

Alcohols play an important role in the field of chemical production raw materials. However, due to their special chemical properties, there are certain safety risks in the storage and transportation of alcohols. In order to ensure the safe storage and transportation of alcohol raw materials, a series of strict specifications and measures need to be observed. This article will detail the safe storage and transportation specifications for alcohol feedstocks.

1. the hazardous
of alcohol raw materials.
alcohol raw materials have certain toxicity, flammability and corrosiveness. Among them, low molecular alcohols such as methanol and ethanol have strong toxicity to human body, and long-term exposure or inhalation of alcohol vapor may lead to poisoning. In addition, the reaction of alcohols with acids, alkalis and other substances will generate heat and pressure, which may lead to serious consequences such as explosion and fire.

2. the storage specification of alcohol raw materials

1. Storage place selection: alcohol raw materials should be stored in a cool, ventilated and dry place, away from fire, heat and direct sunlight.
2. Storage container requirements: The container for storing alcohol raw materials should have corrosion resistance and good sealing performance to prevent alcohol leakage and volatilization.
3. Storage limit: According to the specific variety and risk level, set the storage limit reasonably to avoid the safety risk caused by excessive storage.
4. Storage identification: obvious safety identification shall be set at the storage site, including information such as variety, danger level and emergency measures.

3. alcohol raw materials transport specifications

1. transport vehicle requirements: transport alcohol raw materials vehicles should have the appropriate transport of dangerous goods qualification, to ensure the safety of the transport process.
2. Transport personnel requirements: transport personnel should be professionally trained, familiar with the nature of alcohol raw materials and safe operation procedures.
3. Transport packaging requirements: The packaging of alcohol raw materials should meet relevant standards, have sufficient strength and sealing performance, and prevent leakage and volatilization.
4. Transportation route selection: try to choose the transportation route with smooth roads and smooth traffic, and avoid driving in prosperous urban areas and high-risk areas.

4. emergency measures

During the storage and transportation of alcohol raw materials, in case of leakage, fire and other safety accidents, the following emergency measures should be taken:

1. Immediately cut off the power supply and fire source in the accident area and close the corresponding valves to prevent the accident from expanding.
2. Use special equipment to recover the leaked alcohol raw materials to avoid environmental pollution.
3. Use foam, dry powder and other fire fighting equipment for fire fighting, and pay attention to the safety of on-site personnel.
4. If any person is poisoned or injured, he should be sent to hospital immediately for treatment.

5. Training and Management

In order to ensure the safe storage and transportation of alcohol raw materials, professional training and management of relevant personnel are required. The training content shall include the nature, danger, safe operation procedures and emergency measures of alcohols. At the same time, establish a sound safety management system and operating procedures to ensure the effective implementation of various safety measures.

In short, alcohols are widely used in the field of chemical production, but their safety issues cannot be ignored. By strictly complying with the storage and transportation specifications of alcohols and strengthening the training and management of emergency measures, the safety risks of alcohol raw materials in the storage and transportation process can be effectively reduced, and the production safety can be guaranteed.
