Read： 713 Time：14months ago Source：Transform the World with Simplicity

In the field of chemical raw materials, 1,4-butanediol (BDO) is an important organic compound, which is widely used in plastics, fibers, solvents and pharmaceuticals. Due to its wide range of applications, safe storage and transportation regulations for BDO and downstream products are essential. This article will detail the nature of BDO and downstream products, safe storage and transportation specifications.

1. properties of BDO and downstream products

1. Physical properties of BDO
BDO is a colorless, odorless, transparent oily liquid with high boiling point and melting point. It is easily soluble in organic solvents such as water, ethanol and ether, but insoluble in petroleum ether.

2. Chemical properties of BDO
BDO has strong chemical stability and is not easy to occur oxidation, reduction, hydrolysis and other reactions. However, under the conditions of high temperature, high pressure and the presence of catalyst, BDO polymerization reaction will occur.

3. Properties of Downstream Products The downstream products of
BDO mainly include polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), γ-butyrolactone (GBL) and tetrahydrofuran (THF). These products also have their own physical and chemical properties and need to be stored and transported according to their characteristics.

2. BDO and downstream product safety storage specification

1. Storage facilities require
BDO and downstream products should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated dedicated warehouse. The warehouse shall be far away from fire and heat sources, and equipped with fire fighting equipment and leakage emergency treatment equipment.

2. Storage container requirements
BDO and downstream products should be stored in special stainless steel or plastic containers, and iron containers should be avoided to avoid chemical reactions. The container should be well sealed to prevent leakage.

3. Precautions for storage
(1) The container should be kept tightly closed during storage, avoiding direct sunlight and high temperature environment.
(2) Regularly check the tightness and integrity of the storage container, and discover and deal with the leakage in time.
(3) The warehouse shall be kept clean, and smoking and open fire operation are prohibited.

3. BDO and downstream product safety transport specification

1. transport vehicle requirements
BDO and downstream products should be used for special tanker or truck transport, vehicles should meet the requirements of relevant laws and regulations and standards, with effective transport license and dangerous goods identification.

2. Transport packaging requirements The packaging of
BDO and downstream products should meet the requirements of relevant regulations and standards, and use special stainless steel or plastic containers for packaging. The containers should be well sealed to prevent leakage. The name, quantity, danger and transportation precautions of the product shall be indicated outside the package.

3. Transportation Precautions
(1) During transportation, drive smoothly to avoid severe vibration and collision.
(2) Transportation vehicles shall be equipped with fire fighting equipment and leakage emergency treatment equipment to deal with emergencies.
(3) The requirements of relevant regulations and standards shall be followed during transportation to ensure safe transportation.

In short, the safe storage and transportation of BDO and downstream products is of great significance to ensure production safety and personnel health. In actual operation, the requirements of relevant regulations and standards should be strictly observed, management and training should be strengthened to ensure the safety and reliability of the storage and transportation process.
