[Chemical Knowledge]:Specification for storage and transportation of BDO

In the field of chemical raw materials, 1,4-butanediol (BDO) is a common organic compound, which is widely used in plastics, fibers, solvents and pharmaceuticals. Because BDO has certain toxicity and flammability, it is necessary to strictly abide by relevant regulations during storage and transportation to ensure safety. This paper will detail the safe storage and transportation specification of BDO.

1. the physicochemical properties and hazardous
of BDO
BDO is a colorless and transparent oily liquid with a special sweet taste. It is flammable, the case of open flame, high heat or oxidant contact, there is a risk of combustion and explosion. The vapor of BDO is heavier than air and can spread to a considerable distance at a lower point, and it will catch fire and backburn when exposed to a fire source. In case of high heat, the internal pressure of the container increases, and there is a risk of cracking and explosion. In addition, BDO has a stimulating effect on the eyes, skin and mucous membranes, and inhalation of high concentrations of vapor can cause anesthesia, dizziness, nausea and other symptoms.

2. BDO storage specification

1. The storage place should be selected in a well-ventilated place away from fire and heat sources, and set up corresponding fire fighting equipment and leakage emergency treatment equipment.
2. Storage containers must comply with relevant standards and be inspected and maintained regularly to ensure that they are in good condition.
3. Keep the container closed during storage to avoid BDO leakage and volatilization.
4. The storage area shall be provided with obvious safety signs and warning signs, and smoking and open fire shall be prohibited.

3. BDO transport specifications

1. transport vehicles should meet the relevant standards, with fire, explosion, anti-static and other safety facilities.
2. Keep running smoothly during transportation to avoid severe vibration, collision and friction.
3. Keep away from dangerous substances such as open flames, high heat and oxidants during transportation.
4. Transport personnel should be professionally trained to understand the nature of BDO and safe operating procedures.

4. BDO leakage emergency treatment

1. found BDO leakage, should immediately stop the operation, close the source of leakage, to prevent the spread of leakage.
2. For small spills, sand, dry lime or soda ash can be mixed and recycled to a dedicated waste treatment system.
3. For a large number of leaks, embankments or pits should be built and covered with foam to reduce steam disasters. Transfer to tank truck or special collector with explosion-proof pump, recycle or transport to waste treatment site for disposal.

5. protective measures

1. Respiratory system protection: when the concentration in the air exceeds the standard, wear a self-priming filter gas mask (half mask).
2. Eye protection: wear chemical safety glasses.
3. Body protection: wear anti-static overalls.
4. Hand protection: wear rubber gloves.
5. Other protection: Smoking is strictly prohibited at the work site. Maintain good hygiene habits. Pre-employment and regular medical examinations are carried out.

In short, in the field of chemical production raw materials, BDO's safe storage and transportation regulations are of great significance to ensure production safety and personnel health. Relevant enterprises and individuals shall strictly abide by relevant specifications to ensure the safe and reliable storage and transportation of BDO.
