[Chemical Knowledge]：Specification for storage and transport of thioglycolic acid

Thioglycolic acid (TGA) is an important organic chemical raw material, which is widely used in medicine, pesticide, cosmetics and other fields. Due to its corrosive and toxic properties, it is necessary to strictly comply with relevant regulations during production, storage and transportation to ensure safety. This article will detail the safe storage and transportation specifications for thioglycolic acid.

1. the properties of thioglycolic acid

thioglycolic acid is a colorless to slightly yellow transparent liquid with a pungent odor. It is a strong acidic compound, which can be miscible with water, alcohol, ether and other solvents. Thioglycolic acid is more toxic, irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract, and can cause allergic reactions, which can lead to toxic shock in severe cases.

2. thioglycolic acid storage specification

1. Storage site requirements: thioglycolic acid should be stored in a dry, cool, well-ventilated special warehouse, away from fire, heat and direct sunlight. The warehouse floor should be flat, non-slip, and with anti-leakage measures.
2. Storage container requirements: Thioglycolic acid should be stored in a special container that meets national standards, and the container should have good sealing performance to prevent leakage. At the same time, the container should be marked with thioglycolic acid name, concentration, danger and other information.
3. Storage limit requirements: The storage quantity of thioglycolic acid should be strictly controlled within the national limit to avoid safety risks caused by excessive storage.
4. Storage management system: A sound storage management system for thioglycolic acid should be established, including warehousing, outbound, inventory, inspection and other systems to ensure the safe storage of thioglycolic acid.

3. thioglycolic acid transportation specifications

1. Transportation vehicle requirements: thioglycolic acid should be transported by special transportation vehicles that meet national standards, and the vehicles should have good sealing performance to prevent leakage. At the same time, the vehicle should be equipped with corresponding fire fighting equipment and leakage emergency treatment equipment.
2. Transport personnel requirements: thioglycolic acid transport personnel should have the relevant chemical dangerous goods transport qualification, professional training, familiar with the nature of thioglycolic acid and safe operation procedures.
3. Transportation packaging requirements: Thioglycolic acid should be transported in special packaging that meets national standards. The packaging should have good sealing performance and compressive strength to prevent leakage or damage during transportation.
4. Transportation route and time requirements: The transportation route and time of thioglycolic acid should be selected reasonably to avoid transportation under severe weather conditions such as high temperature and high humidity to ensure transportation safety.

4. thioglycolic acid safety operation specification

1. operator requirements: operating thioglycolic acid personnel should have the relevant chemical dangerous goods operation qualification, after professional training, familiar with the nature of thioglycolic acid and safe operation procedures.
2. Operating site requirements: the operation of thioglycolic acid should be carried out in a dedicated operating site, and the site should have good ventilation conditions and protective measures to prevent operators from coming into contact with thioglycolic acid.
3. Operating procedures requirements: should establish a sound thioglycolic acid operating procedures, including feeding, reaction, discharge, cleaning and other steps of operating procedures to ensure that the operation process is safe and controllable.

5. thioglycolic acid

1. leakage emergency treatment: when thioglycolic acid leakage occurs, emergency treatment plan should be started immediately, and measures such as cutting off the leakage source, accommodating the leakage and cleaning the polluted area should be taken to prevent leakage and diffusion.
2. Emergency treatment of poisoning: When poisoning occurs, the poisoned person should be moved to a safe area immediately, first aid measures such as skin and eyes should be taken, and medical treatment should be taken in time.

In short, as an important chemical raw material, thioglycolic acid needs to strictly abide by relevant regulations during production, storage and transportation to ensure safety. By strengthening the training of management personnel, improving the management system, and equipping protective facilities, the safety risks caused by thioglycolic acid can be effectively reduced to ensure production safety and personnel health.
