1. of safety storage and transportation specification
of dimethyl carbonate (industrial grade) Introduction

Dimethyl carbonate (Dimethyl Carbonate, referred to as DMC) is an important chemical raw material, widely used in synthetic fibers, plastics, fuels, pesticides and other fields. However, due to its flammable, explosive, toxic and other characteristics, the safety requirements for storage and transportation are extremely high. In order to ensure the safety of dimethyl carbonate in the process of production, use and storage, it is necessary to formulate a set of strict specifications.

2. the physical and chemical properties of dimethyl carbonate

Dimethyl carbonate is a colorless transparent liquid with a pungent odor. After its steam and air are mixed, it will cause combustion and explosion in case of open flame and high heat energy. Dimethyl carbonate is non-corrosive to metals, but can react with some organic compounds. In addition, dimethyl carbonate is toxic to the human body, can stimulate the eyes and respiratory system, long-term contact may lead to poisoning.

3. of dimethyl carbonate storage specification

1. The storage place should be selected in a cool, well-ventilated place away from fire. The storage temperature should be controlled below 30 ℃, avoid direct sunlight.
2. The storage container should use special stainless steel or carbon steel container, and ensure that the container has good airtightness to prevent leakage.
3. The storage area should be equipped with leakage emergency treatment equipment, such as sand, adsorbent, etc., so as to deal with leakage accidents in time.
4. The storage area shall be provided with obvious safety warning signs, and dangerous behaviors such as smoking and open fire shall be prohibited.

4. of dimethyl carbonate transport specification

1. transport vehicles should meet the transport requirements of dangerous goods, with fire, explosion, anti-static and other safety facilities.
2. During transportation, smooth driving shall be maintained to avoid severe vibration, collision and friction to prevent container damage and leakage.
3. During transportation, keep away from fire, high heat and other dangerous sources, and avoid direct sunlight.
4. The transportation personnel shall have the qualification of dangerous goods transportation and be familiar with the nature and safe operation procedures of dimethyl carbonate.

5. of dimethyl carbonate safe operating procedures

1. Operators should be professionally trained to understand the nature of dimethyl carbonate and safe operating procedures.
2. Before operation, check whether the containers, pipes and valves are in good condition and whether there is any leakage.
3. Good ventilation should be maintained during operation to avoid excessive concentration of dimethyl carbonate vapor.
4. Wear protective clothing, gloves, goggles and other personal protective equipment during operation to prevent poisoning and burns.
5. Dangerous behaviors such as open fire and high heat shall be prohibited during operation, and contact with oxidants, acids and other substances shall be avoided.

6. dimethyl carbonate leakage emergency treatment measures

1. found leakage should immediately stop operation, close the valve, cut off the source of leakage.
2. Adsorb the leakage with sand, adsorbent, etc., and collect it in a special container.
3. In case of large leakage, the emergency plan shall be started immediately, personnel shall be evacuated, and relevant departments shall be notified for disposal.

7. conclusion

dimethyl carbonate as an important raw material for chemical production, its safe storage and transportation is very important. By formulating strict norms and safety operation procedures, strengthening the training and management of operators, the safety of dimethyl carbonate in the production, use and storage process can be effectively guaranteed, and accidents can be prevented and reduced.
