[Chemical Knowledge]：Specification for storage and transport of potassium peroxide

Potassium peroxide (Potassium peroxide) is an inorganic compound with strong oxidizing properties, which is widely used in the field of chemical production raw materials. However, due to its instability and danger, the storage and transportation of potassium peroxide must be strictly followed to ensure safety. This article will detail the safety storage and transportation specifications of potassium peroxide.

1. the physical and chemical properties of potassium peroxide

potassium peroxide is white or light yellow crystalline powder, strong oxidation. When it comes into contact with water, acid and other substances, it will decompose to produce oxygen and release a lot of heat. Potassium peroxide is sensitive to heat, vibration and friction, and is easy to cause decomposition and explosion.

2. of potassium peroxide risk

potassium peroxide belongs to dangerous chemicals, has the following risk:

1. explosion hazard: potassium peroxide in the heat, friction, vibration and other conditions prone to decomposition explosion.
2. Corrosion hazard: Potassium peroxide has strong oxidizing properties and can corrode metals and organics.
3. health hazards: potassium peroxide contact with skin, eyes can cause irritation, burns, inhalation of its dust can cause respiratory tract irritation, eating can lead to digestive tract burns.

3. safety storage specification of potassium peroxide

in order to ensure the safe storage of potassium peroxide, the following specifications should be followed:

1. storage facilities: should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated special warehouse, away from fire and heat sources. The warehouse floor shall be anti-skid and equipped with fire and explosion-proof facilities.
2. Storage container: special container should be used to store potassium peroxide. The container should have sealing performance to prevent moisture, heat and direct sunlight.
3. Storage and stacking: Potassium peroxide shall be neatly stacked and shall not be excessively high. Different batches of products should be stacked separately and clearly marked.
4. Storage management: A sound storage management system should be established, and the warehouse should be inspected regularly, and abnormal situations should be handled in time.

4. safety transportation specification of potassium peroxide

in order to ensure the safe transportation of potassium peroxide, the following specifications should be followed:

1. Transportation vehicles: special vehicles with dangerous goods transportation qualification should be used for transportation, and the vehicles should be equipped with fire prevention and explosion prevention facilities and kept in good condition.
2. Transport packaging: potassium peroxide should be transported in special packaging, and the packaging should be tight and firm to prevent damage and leakage during transportation. The package shall be marked with dangerous goods signs and relevant safety information.
3. Transportation route: Choose a safe transportation route and avoid passing through sensitive areas such as densely populated areas and important facilities. In the process of transportation should be as far as possible to maintain smooth driving, avoid sudden braking, sharp turns and other operations.
4. Transport personnel: transport personnel shall have relevant knowledge and skills of dangerous goods transport, be professionally trained and hold relevant qualification certificates. In the process of transportation, we should be vigilant and find and deal with abnormal situations in time.

5. emergency measures

in the process of storage and transportation, such as potassium peroxide leakage, fire and other accidents, should take the following emergency measures:

1. Leakage treatment: in case of potassium peroxide leakage, should immediately cut off the leakage source, and use sand, dry lime and other absorption leakage, and then collect it into a special container.
2. Fire treatment: In case of fire, fire extinguishing agents such as dry powder and carbon dioxide should be used immediately to extinguish the fire. At the same time, the nearby personnel shall be evacuated in time and the fire shall be reported to the superior.
3. Medical first aid: If any person comes into contact with potassium peroxide or has symptoms of poisoning, he should be immediately moved to a safe area, and necessary first aid and protective measures should be taken, and then sent to the hospital for treatment.

In short, in order to ensure the safe storage and transportation of potassium peroxide in the field of chemical production raw materials, it is necessary to strictly abide by relevant norms and standards, strengthen management and training, and improve safety awareness. Only in this way can we effectively prevent the occurrence of accidents and ensure the safety of people's lives and property.
