Caprolactam is an important organic chemical raw material, which is widely used in plastic, fiber, rubber and other fields. However, due to its special chemical properties, caprolactam has certain safety risks during storage and transportation. In order to ensure production safety, the relevant storage and transportation regulations must be strictly observed.

1. the safety properties of caprolactam

caprolactam is a colorless or slightly yellow transparent liquid with a pungent odor. It is a flammable and toxic chemical that has certain hazards to the human body. Caprolactam vapor mixed with air, may form an explosive mixture, fire, high heat caused by combustion explosion. In addition, caprolactam is corrosive and can cause damage to metal containers.

2. caprolactam storage specification

1. storage place should choose cool, ventilated, dry place, away from fire, heat source. The storage temperature should not exceed 30 ℃, and the relative humidity should be kept below 75%.
2. The storage container shall be made of stainless steel or carbon steel, avoiding the use of aluminum, copper and other metal containers. The container should be well sealed to prevent leakage.
3. The storage area shall be equipped with corresponding fire fighting equipment and leakage emergency treatment equipment, such as fire extinguishers, sand, adsorption materials, etc.
4. During the storage process, regular safety inspection shall be carried out, including the integrity of containers, valves, pipes and other equipment, as well as the ventilation and fire prevention of the storage place.

3. caprolactam transportation specifications

1. Before transportation, check the safety performance of the transportation vehicle to ensure that the vehicle meets relevant standards. During transportation, the vehicle speed shall be kept stable, and operations such as sudden braking and sharp turning shall be avoided.
2. The transport container should use professional chemical transport tank to ensure good sealing performance. The integrity of the container and its accessories shall be checked regularly during transportation to prevent leakage.
3. During transportation, relevant road traffic safety regulations shall be observed, and stay in sensitive areas such as densely populated areas and water source protection areas shall be avoided.
4. Transportation personnel should be professionally trained and familiar with the properties of caprolactam and safe operation procedures. In the process of transportation, we should be vigilant and take timely measures if any abnormal situation is found.

4. emergency treatment measures

1. In case of caprolactam leakage accident, immediately start the emergency plan and organize professionals to deal with it. First of all to cut off the leakage source, and then use the adsorption material to clean up the leakage, to avoid pollution of the environment.
2. In the event of a fire accident, fire extinguishers, sand and other fire extinguishing equipment shall be used immediately to extinguish the fire, and the emergency plan shall be activated at the same time. In the process of fire fighting, the safety of site personnel shall be protected to prevent secondary accidents.
3. If any person is poisoned, the poisoned person should be immediately moved to a well-ventilated place, and first aid measures such as oxygen inhalation and water flushing should be given, and the person should be sent to the hospital for treatment in time.

In short, in order to ensure the safety of caprolactam production, its storage and transportation must be strictly observed. By strengthening safety management, improving employee safety awareness, and improving emergency plans, safety risks can be effectively reduced to ensure smooth production.
