[Chemical Knowledge]:Specification for storage and transportation of palmitic acid

Palmitic acid safety storage and transportation specification

1. Introduction

Palmitic acid is a common chemical production raw materials, widely used in food, medicine, cosmetics and other fields. However, if the storage and transportation of palmitic acid is not standardized, it may cause safety accidents and cause harm to personnel and the environment. Therefore, this article aims to explore the safety storage and transportation specifications of palmitic acid to ensure safety in the production process.

2. Physical and Chemical Properties of Palmitic Acid

Palmitic acid is a saturated fatty acid with a molecular formula of C16H32O2 and a molecular weight of 256.42. It is a colorless or slightly yellow crystalline solid with high melting point and boiling point, insoluble in water, but soluble in ethanol, ether and other organic solvents. Palmitic acid has strong acidity and can react with alkali to form the corresponding salt.

3. palmitic acid safety storage specification

1. The storage place should be dry, ventilated, cool, and avoid direct sunlight and high temperature.

2. The storage container should be well sealed to prevent palmitic acid from oxidizing and deteriorating in contact with air.

3. The storage area should have obvious safety signs and warning signs, and fireworks and open flames are prohibited.

4. During the storage process, regular inspection and maintenance should be carried out to ensure the normal operation of the storage facilities.

4. palmitic acid safety transport specification

1. transport vehicles should comply with the relevant standards, with fire, explosion, anti-static and other safety measures.

2. During transportation, it should be kept stable and avoid violent vibration and collision.

3. During transportation, it should be away from open flames and high temperature areas to prevent palmitic acid from igniting or exploding.

4. Special person shall be responsible for escort during transportation to ensure transportation safety.

5. palmitic acid leakage emergency treatment specification

1. In case of palmitic acid leakage accident, immediately start the emergency plan and organize personnel to deal with it.

2. The leakage source should be cut off quickly, and mixed with sand, dry lime or soda ash and then recycled to the waste treatment site for disposal.

3. The leakage area should be ventilated to ensure air circulation.

4. If a person develops discomfort after exposure to palmitic acid, seek medical treatment immediately.

6. summary

palmitic acid as a common chemical production raw material, its safe storage and transportation is very important. By understanding the physical and chemical properties of palmitic acid and strictly complying with the safety storage and transportation regulations, safety accidents can be effectively prevented and safety in the production process can be guaranteed. At the same time, in the emergency treatment also need to develop detailed specifications, in case of emergency.
