[Chemical Knowledge]：Specification for storage and transport of catechol

The safety of catechol storage and transportation specifications

1. Introduction

Catechol as an important chemical production raw materials, widely used in medicine, pesticides, dyes, plastics and other fields. However, due to its toxic and corrosive nature, which poses a potential threat to the environment and human health, the relevant safety regulations must be strictly observed during the storage and transportation of catechol. This article will introduce the safety storage and transportation specifications of catechol in detail to ensure safety and environmental protection in the production process.

2. the properties and hazard
of catechol
catechol is a white or yellowish crystalline powder with strong toxicity and corrosiveness. Prolonged exposure or inhalation of catechol can cause human poisoning, headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms, which can lead to coma and death in severe cases. In addition, catechol is also strongly irritating to the eyes and skin and can cause skin burns and eye damage. Therefore, in the process of storage and transportation of catechol, effective protective measures must be taken to avoid harm to human body and environment.

3. catechol storage specification

1. Storage facilities: catechol should be stored in a dry, cool, well-ventilated special warehouse, avoid direct sunlight and high temperature. The warehouse floor shall be smooth and non-slip, and equipped with corresponding fire-fighting equipment and leakage emergency treatment equipment.
2. Storage container: Catechol should be stored in a container with good sealing performance, such as glass bottles, plastic barrels, etc., and ensure that the container is intact to prevent leakage.
3. Storage identification: Obvious safety identification shall be set on the warehouse and storage container, including dangerous goods identification, warning identification, etc., to remind the operator to pay attention to safety.
4. Storage management: Establish a complete storage management system for catechol, including warehousing registration, outbound records, regular inspections, etc., to ensure storage safety.


of transportation specifications for 4. catechol
1. Transportation vehicles: Special vehicles that meet the transportation requirements of dangerous goods should be selected for transportation to ensure that the vehicles have good sealing performance and anti-collision ability.
2. Transport packaging: Catechol should be packaged with packaging materials that meet the requirements to ensure that the packaging is tight and firm to prevent leakage during transportation.
3. Transportation route: Choose a reasonable transportation route to avoid passing through sensitive areas such as densely populated areas and water source protection areas to reduce the impact on the environment.
4. Transport personnel: transport personnel should be professionally trained and familiar with the safety operation procedures and emergency treatment measures for the transport of dangerous goods.
5. Transport identification: Obvious dangerous goods identification and warning identification shall be provided on transport vehicles and packaging for identification and handling.

5. emergency treatment measures

in the storage and transportation of catechol, in case of leakage, fire and other accidents, the following emergency treatment measures should be taken:

1. Leakage treatment: in case of catechol leakage, the emergency plan should be started immediately, special equipment should be used to recover the leakage, and the leakage area should be washed with plenty of clean water to ensure that it is clean.
2. Fire treatment: in case of fire, fire extinguishers, foam extinguishing agents and other fire extinguishing equipment shall be used immediately to extinguish the fire, and the police shall be called for help in time.
3. Medical rescue: If any person has symptoms of poisoning after contact with catechol, the patient should be sent to the hospital for professional treatment immediately.

6. conclusion

catechol as an important chemical production raw material, its safety and environmental protection is of great significance to the production process. Therefore, during the storage and transportation of catechol, relevant safety regulations must be strictly observed, and effective protective measures must be taken to ensure the safety of personnel and the environment. By strengthening management and training, improving the safety awareness and operation skills of operators, the safety risks in the storage and transportation of catechol can be further reduced, and the smooth progress of the production process can be guaranteed.
