[Chemical Knowledge]:Specification for storage and transportation of triethanolamine


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

Triethanolamine (TEA) is a corrosive and irritating organic compound, widely used in chemical, pharmaceutical, pesticide and other fields. Due to its special physical and chemical properties, triethanolamine needs to strictly comply with relevant safety regulations during storage and transportation to ensure the safety of personnel and the environment. This article will detail the safety storage and transportation specifications of triethanolamine.

2. the physical and chemical properties of triethanolamine

triethanolamine is colorless or slightly yellow transparent liquid, alkaline, flammable, soluble in water, ethanol and ether and other organic solvents. The steam and air can form an explosive mixture, fire, high heat caused by combustion explosion. Can react strongly with oxidants. Its vapor is heavier than air and can spread to a considerable distance at a lower point, and it will catch fire and backburn in case of a fire source. In case of high heat, the internal pressure of the container increases, and there is a risk of cracking and explosion.

3. triethanolamine storage specification

1. storage place should be selected in a well-ventilated, dry, cool place, away from fire and heat sources.
2. The storage container should be made of corrosion-resistant materials, such as stainless steel or glass fiber reinforced plastic, and avoid the use of iron containers to prevent the reaction of triethanolamine with iron.
3. The storage site shall be equipped with fire fighting equipment and leakage emergency treatment equipment, such as sand and linoleum.
4. Keep the container sealed during storage to prevent leakage and volatilization of triethanolamine.
5. The storage place shall be provided with obvious safety warning signs, and smoking and open fire shall be prohibited.

4. triethanolamine transport specification

1. transport vehicles should meet the transport requirements of dangerous goods, equipped with corresponding fire fighting equipment and leakage emergency treatment equipment.
2. During transportation, it is necessary to keep running smoothly and avoid violent vibration and collision to prevent container damage and leakage.
3. Keep the container sealed during transportation to prevent triethanolamine from volatilization and leakage.
4. Avoid high temperature and open fire during transportation to prevent triethanolamine from burning and explosion.
5. Relevant traffic rules, laws and regulations shall be observed during transportation to ensure transportation safety.

5. triethanolamine leakage emergency treatment

1. In case of triethanolamine leakage, the emergency treatment plan should be started immediately and professionals should be organized to deal with it.
2. Handlers should wear protective clothing and gloves to avoid direct contact with triethanolamine.
3. For a small amount of leakage, sand or other non-combustible adsorbent can be mixed and absorbed, collected in a closed container, and transported to the waste treatment site.
4. For a large number of leaks, embankments or pits should be constructed and covered with foam to reduce steam disasters. Transfer to tank truck or special collector with explosion-proof pump, recycle or transport to waste treatment site for disposal.

6. conclusion

triethanolamine is a corrosive and irritating organic compound. It is necessary to strictly abide by relevant safety regulations during storage and transportation to ensure the safety of personnel and the environment. By understanding its physical and chemical properties and taking scientific storage and transportation measures, we can effectively prevent accidents and ensure the safety and stability of production.
