[Chemical Knowledge]：Storage method and transport specification of octanoic acid

1. of safety storage and transportation specifications
of caprylic acid in the field of chemical production raw materials Introduction

In the field of chemical production raw materials, caprylic acid, as a common organic compound, is widely used in the manufacture of spices, pharmaceutical intermediates and other products. However, due to the toxicity and flammability of octanoic acid, its safe storage and transportation have attracted much attention. In order to ensure the safety of octanoic acid during production, storage and transportation, it is essential to formulate a set of strict specifications.

2. the properties and hazards of octanoic acid

octanoic acid is a colorless or slightly yellow transparent liquid with a pungent odor. It has an irritating effect on the skin and eyes, and may cause harm to the human body after inhalation or ingestion. At the same time, octanoic acid is also flammable, and may burn or explode when exposed to open flame, high heat or oxidant.

3. octanoic acid safety storage specification

1. storage facilities: storage of octanoic acid facilities should have fire, explosion, lightning and other safety facilities, and comply with the relevant laws and regulations standards. The storage area should be set up with obvious safety warning signs, and no open flames and smoking.
2. Storage container: The container for storing octanoic acid should be made of corrosion resistance and good sealing performance, such as stainless steel or glass steel. The container shall be inspected and maintained regularly to ensure that there is no leakage.
3. Storage environment: Octanoic acid should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated environment, avoid direct sunlight and high temperature. The storage temperature should be controlled within a suitable range to avoid decomposition or volatilization of octanoic acid.
4. Storage management: A complete storage management system should be established, including records such as warehousing, outbound and inventory. For expired or deteriorated bitterness, should be properly handled to avoid environmental pollution.

the safety of the 4. of bitter acid transport norms

1. transport vehicles: transport of bitter acid vehicles should have the appropriate qualifications and certificates to ensure compliance with the relevant laws and regulations. The vehicle shall be equipped with safety facilities such as fire prevention and explosion prevention, and shall be regularly maintained and inspected.
2. Transport packaging: The transport packaging of octanoic acid should meet relevant standards and have sufficient strength and sealing performance. The packaging shall be marked with the name of the octanoic acid, the nature of the hazard, emergency measures and other information.
3. Transportation routes: Reasonable transportation routes should be selected to avoid passing through sensitive areas such as densely populated areas and water source protection areas. During transportation, you should follow the traffic rules, keep the speed stable, and avoid sudden braking and other operations.
4. Transport personnel: Transport personnel should have relevant safety knowledge and skills and understand the nature and hazards of bitterness. In the process of transportation, we should be vigilant and deal with abnormal situations in time.

5. emergency measures

during the production, storage and transportation of octanoic acid, in case of leakage, fire and other emergencies, the following emergency measures should be taken:

1. Leakage treatment: in case of octanoic acid leakage, the leakage source should be cut off immediately, and the leakage should be absorbed with absorbing materials and placed in a sealed container. At the same time, the leakage area should be ventilated to avoid contact with personnel.
2. Fire treatment: If a fire occurs, call the police immediately and use a fire extinguisher to extinguish the fire. The fire extinguishing agent can be foam, dry powder, etc. In the process of fire fighting, a safe distance should be kept to avoid casualties.
3. Medical first aid: if the person is exposed to octanoic acid or has symptoms of poisoning, the patient should be immediately moved to a safe area and sent to the hospital for treatment. Summary of

6.

In the field of chemical production raw materials, the safety storage and transportation regulations of octanoic acid are of great significance to ensure production safety and personnel health. By formulating strict norms and strengthening management and training, we can reduce the risk of bitterness in the process of production, storage and transportation, and ensure the stable development of the enterprise and the safety and health of employees.
