[Chemical Knowledge]：Specification for storage and transportation of n-heptanol

n-heptanol in the field of chemical production of raw materials in the safety of storage and transport specifications

Introduction

n-heptanol is a common organic compounds, widely used in chemical, pharmaceutical, spices and other fields. Due to its flammable and toxic properties, it is necessary to strictly comply with relevant regulations during storage and transportation to ensure safety. This article will detail the safety storage and transportation specifications of n-heptanol.

1. the physicochemical properties of n-heptanol

n-heptanol is a colorless transparent liquid with a special odor. Its molecular formula is C7H16O and its molecular weight is 116.20. N-heptanol is insoluble in water, and can be miscible with alcohol, ether, chloroform and other organic solvents. The steam and air can form an explosive mixture, fire, high heat caused by combustion explosion. n-Heptanol toxic, inhalation, oral or absorption through the skin after harmful to the body.

2. is heptanol storage specification

1. storage place should be cool, ventilated, dry, away from the fire, heat source. The warehouse temperature should not exceed 30 ℃.
2. The storage site shall be equipped with corresponding varieties and quantities of fire-fighting equipment. It is forbidden to use mechanical equipment and tools that are easy to produce sparks.
3. It should be stored separately from oxidants, acids, alkali metals and edible chemicals, and avoid mixed storage.
4. Use explosion-proof lighting and ventilation facilities. It is forbidden to use mechanical equipment and tools that are easy to produce sparks. The storage area should be equipped with leakage emergency treatment equipment and suitable containment materials.

3. is heptanol transport specification

1. before transport should first check whether the packaging container is complete, sealed, transport process to ensure that the container does not leak, do not collapse, do not fall, do not damage.
2. It is strictly prohibited to mix with oxidants, acids, alkali metals, edible chemicals, etc.
3. During transportation, it shall be protected from sun exposure, rain and high temperature. Stay away from kindling and heat sources during stopover.
4. The vehicle shall be thoroughly cleaned after transportation.

4. is heptanol safety operation specification

1 operators must be specially trained, strictly abide by the operating procedures. It is recommended that operators wear self-priming filtering respirator (half mask), chemical safety goggles, anti-static overalls and rubber oil-resistant gloves.
2. Keep away from fire and heat sources, and smoking is strictly prohibited in the workplace. Use explosion-proof ventilation systems and equipment. Prevent vapor leakage into the workplace air. Avoid contact with oxidants and acids. When filling, the flow rate should be controlled, and there is a grounding device to prevent static accumulation. Handle lightly to prevent damage to packaging and containers. Equipped with corresponding types and quantities of fire fighting equipment and leakage emergency treatment equipment. Empty containers may leave harmful substances. First aid for

5. of n-Heptanol

skin contact: remove contaminated clothing and rinse skin thoroughly with soap and water. Eye contact: Lift the eyelid and flush with flowing water or normal saline. Seek medical attention. Inhalation: quickly leave the site to fresh air. Keep the airway unobstructed. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If breathing stops, give artificial respiration immediately. Seek medical attention. Intake: Drink plenty of warm water to induce vomiting. Seek medical attention. Fire-fighting measures

6. n-heptanol

dangerous characteristics: fire, high heat caused by combustion and explosion. Can react strongly with oxidants. In the fire, the heated container has the risk of explosion. Hazardous combustion products: carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide. Fire extinguishing method: move the container from the fire to the open area as much as possible. Spray water to keep the fire container cool until the end of the fire. Containers in a fire scene that have discolored or produced sound from the safety pressure relief device must be evacuated immediately. Fire extinguishing agent: anti-soluble foam, dry powder, sand. Fire extinguishing with water is ineffective.

summary

n-heptanol as a common chemical production raw material, in the process of storage and transportation need to strictly abide by the relevant norms to ensure safety. By understanding its physical and chemical properties, storage specifications, transportation specifications, safety operation specifications and first aid and fire control measures, it can effectively prevent and respond to the safety accidents of n-heptanol, and ensure the safety of people's lives and property.
