[Chemical Knowledge]：Specification for storage and transportation of cuprous chloride

Cuprous chloride in the field of chemical production of raw materials in the safety of storage and transport specifications

1. Introduction

Cuprous chloride as an important chemical raw materials, widely used in organic synthesis, dyes, pharmaceuticals, pesticides and other fields. However, due to its toxicity and corrosiveness, strict requirements are imposed on the safety of cuprous chloride during storage and transportation. In order to ensure the personal safety of the staff and the normal operation of the enterprise, it is very important to formulate a set of safe storage and transportation specifications for cuprous chloride.

2. The physical and chemical properties of cuprous chloride

Cuprous chloride is a white or slightly yellowish crystalline powder with a strong pungent odor. It is soluble in water, soluble in ethanol, acetone and other organic solvents, insoluble in ether. Cuprous chloride in the air will gradually oxidized into cupric chloride, light will decompose, when heat will release toxic chlorine.

3. the toxicity
of cuprous chloride
cuprous chloride has strong irritation to eyes, skin and respiratory system. Prolonged exposure or inhalation of its dust can cause poisoning symptoms, such as dizziness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and so on. Severe poisoning may cause liver and kidney damage, even life-threatening.

4. the safety of cuprous chloride storage specifications

1. Storage environment: cuprous chloride should be stored in a dry, cool, well-ventilated place, avoid direct sunlight and high temperature. The temperature of the storage room should be controlled below 30°C and the relative humidity should not exceed 70%.
2. Storage container: Use a well-sealed container for storage to prevent cuprous chloride from contacting air. Containers shall be corrosion resistant and regularly inspected and maintained to ensure no leakage.
3. Storage identification: Obvious warning signs shall be set up outside and inside the storage room, including information such as toxicity and corrosivity, to remind the staff to pay attention to safety.
4. Inventory management: Establish a strict inventory management system, and make detailed records of copper chloride in and out of the warehouse to ensure that the accounts are consistent. Inventory should be controlled within a reasonable range to avoid backlog and waste.

5. safety transportation specifications for cuprous chloride

1. Transport vehicles: Use special transport vehicles with corrosion resistance for transportation to ensure that the vehicles have good sealing performance during transportation and prevent cuprous chloride leakage.
2. Transport packaging: Cuprous chloride should be double-layer packaging, the inner layer is polyethylene plastic bag, the outer layer is cardboard drum or iron drum. The packaging shall be tight and firm to prevent damage during transportation.
3. Transport identification: Obvious warning identification shall be provided on transport vehicles and packaging, including information on toxicity and corrosivity, to remind other vehicles and personnel to pay attention to safety.
4. Transportation routes: Choose reasonable transportation routes and avoid passing through densely populated areas and sensitive environmental areas. During transportation, the vehicle speed should be kept stable and sudden braking and bumps should be avoided to reduce damage to packaging and goods.

6. emergency measures

1. Leakage treatment: in case of copper chloride leakage, measures should be taken immediately to prevent the leakage from spreading. Cover and clean up spills with adsorbent materials such as sand and dry lime to avoid drains and drains.
2. Poisoning treatment: If any person is poisoned, the poisoned person should be immediately moved to a well-ventilated place, contaminated clothes should be removed, and eyes and skin should be rinsed with plenty of water. If the poisoning symptoms are serious, should be immediately sent to hospital for treatment.

7. training and education

to carry out regular training and education for staff engaged in cuprous chloride storage and transportation to improve their safety awareness and operation skills. The training content includes the nature, toxicity, storage and transportation specifications, emergency measures, etc.

In short, in order to ensure the safe storage and transportation of cuprous chloride in the field of chemical production raw materials, it is necessary to strictly comply with relevant specifications and operating requirements, strengthen management and training, and ensure the personal safety of staff and the normal operation of the enterprise.
