Read： 1009 Time：18months ago Source：Transform the World with Simplicity

Introduction

In the field of chemical production raw materials, isooctanol, as a common organic compound, is widely used in coatings, inks, cleaning agents, plastic plasticizers and other fields. However, due to its flammable and toxic characteristics, isooctanol has certain safety risks during storage and transportation. In order to ensure production safety and reduce potential risks, it is very important to formulate a set of strict storage and transportation specifications for isooctanol.

Part 1: Physical and Chemical Properties of Isooctanol

Isooctanol is a colorless transparent liquid with a special odor. Its molecular formula is C8H18O and its molecular weight is 130.23. Isooctanol is insoluble in water, but is miscible with most organic solvents. In addition, isooctanol has a low flash point, is flammable, and has certain toxicity to the human body.

Part II:

for the safe storage of isooctanol 1. Storage facility requirements

storage of isooctanol facilities should comply with relevant national standards, with fire prevention, explosion prevention, lightning protection and other safety facilities. The storage area shall be provided with obvious safety warning signs and equipped with corresponding fire fighting equipment.

2. Storage environment requirements

isooctanol should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated environment, avoid direct sunlight. The storage temperature should be controlled within a suitable range to avoid the effect of too high or too low temperature on isooctanol.

3. Storage container requirements

storage of isooctanol containers should have sufficient strength and tightness to prevent leakage. The container shall be inspected and maintained regularly to ensure that it is in good condition.

part iii: isooctanol transport safety specification

1. transport vehicle requirements

transport isooctanol vehicles should have the appropriate qualifications and certificates to ensure compliance with the relevant national standards. The vehicle shall be equipped with safety facilities such as fire prevention and explosion prevention, and shall be regularly maintained and inspected.

2. Transport personnel requirements

transport isooctanol personnel should have relevant professional knowledge and skills, trained and obtained the corresponding qualification certificate. In the process of transportation, we should be vigilant and find and deal with potential safety risks in time.

3. Transport packaging requirements

isooctanol transport packaging should meet the relevant national standards, with sufficient strength and sealing. The packaging shall be clearly marked with the name of isooctanol, hazard class, manufacturer and other information.

Part IV: Emergency Treatment Measures

During the storage and transportation of isooctanol, in case of leakage, fire and other safety accidents, the following emergency treatment measures shall be taken:

1. Immediately start the emergency plan and organize personnel to evacuate the dangerous area;
2. Use professional leakage treatment equipment to clean up and avoid the spread of leakage;
3. Use appropriate fire extinguishing equipment to extinguish the fire, at the same time, pay attention to protect the safety of
on-site personnel; 4. Report the accident to relevant departments in time and cooperate with the investigation and handling.

Part V: Summary and recommendations

isooctanol as a common chemical production raw materials, there are certain safety risks in the process of storage and transportation. In order to ensure production safety and reduce potential risks, enterprises should formulate strict storage and transportation specifications for isooctanol, and strengthen safety training and education for employees. At the same time, relevant government departments should strengthen supervision and regularly inspect enterprises that store and transport isooctanol to ensure the effective implementation of various safety measures.
