[Chemical Knowledge]:Specification for storage and transport of antimony trioxide

Antimony trioxide (Sb2O3) is a common chemical raw material, widely used in plastics, ceramics, glass, pigments and other fields. Because of its toxicity and danger, it is necessary to strictly abide by relevant regulations during storage and transportation to ensure safety.

1. Antimony Trioxide Toxicity and Hazard

Antimony trioxide is a toxic compound that can be toxic by inhalation, ingestion or skin contact. Acute poisoning symptoms include headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, etc. In severe cases, coma, convulsions, shock and other symptoms may occur. Long-term exposure to antimony trioxide may cause chronic poisoning, manifested as neurasthenia, abnormal liver function, skin lesions and so on.

In addition, antimony trioxide is also flammable, and exposure to open flames, high heat or oxidants may cause a fire or explosion. Therefore, special attention is required during storage and transportation.

2. Antimony trioxide safe storage specification

1. The storage place should choose a dry, ventilated and cool place, away from open flames, heat sources and oxidants.
2. Storage containers shall be well sealed to prevent leakage and volatilization.
3. Obvious safety signs and warning signs shall be set up in the storage area to prohibit non-working personnel from entering.
4. Check and maintain the storage container regularly to ensure that it is intact.
5. Storage personnel should be professionally trained to understand the nature of antimony trioxide and safe operating procedures.
Safety transportation specifications for
3. antimony trioxide

1. Before transportation, check whether the packaging is intact and whether the label is clear to ensure that there is no leakage or volatilization during transportation.
2. During transportation, it should be loaded and unloaded lightly to avoid severe vibration and collision.
3. Transportation vehicles shall be provided with fire prevention, explosion-proof, leakage prevention and other safety measures to ensure transportation safety.
4. Hazardous factors such as high temperature, open flame and oxidant shall be avoided during transportation.
5. Transport personnel should be professionally trained to understand the nature of antimony trioxide and safe transport procedures.

4. emergency treatment measures

1. In case of antimony trioxide leakage accident, the emergency plan should be started immediately and professionals should be organized to deal with it.

3. Use special tools and equipment for cleaning and recycling, avoid direct contact and inhalation.
4. If any person is poisoned or injured, he should be sent to the hospital immediately for treatment.

In short, antimony trioxide is a common raw material for chemical production, and its safety and storage and transportation regulations are of great significance to ensure production safety and personnel health. In actual operation, we should strictly abide by relevant specifications, strengthen management and training, and ensure safe production.
