[Chemical Knowledge]：Specification for storage and transport of isononanol

safety of isononyl alcohol storage and transport specification

1. introduction

isononyl alcohol as a common chemical production of raw materials, widely used in paints, coatings, printing inks and other fields. However, due to its flammable and toxic characteristics, isononanol has certain safety risks during storage and transportation. In order to ensure production safety and reduce the incidence of accidents, it is very important to formulate a set of scientific and reasonable storage and transportation specifications for isononanol.

2. the physical and chemical properties of isononanol

isononanol is a colorless transparent liquid with a special odor. Its molecular formula is C9H20O, the relative molecular mass is 144.25. Inonanol is flammable and may cause combustion and explosion when exposed to open flame, high heat or oxidant. In addition, isononanol is also toxic, and prolonged exposure or inhalation of its vapors may cause harm to the human body.

3. isononyl alcohol safety storage specification

1. storage place should choose cool, ventilated, dry special warehouse, away from fire, heat source. The temperature in the warehouse should be controlled below 30 ℃, and the relative humidity should not exceed 80%.
2. The storage container should be made of stainless steel or carbon steel, and avoid the use of aluminum, zinc and other active metal containers. The container should be well sealed to prevent leakage.
3. The storage area shall be equipped with fire fighting equipment and leakage emergency treatment equipment, such as fire extinguishers and sand.
4. Regularly check the integrity of the storage container, and deal with the leakage in time.
5. The storage area shall be provided with obvious safety warning signs, and smoking and open fire shall be prohibited.

4. isononyl alcohol safety transport specification

1. transport vehicles should meet the transport requirements of hazardous chemicals, with corresponding fire prevention, explosion prevention, leakage prevention and other safety measures.
2. During transportation, it should be kept stable, avoid violent vibration, collision and friction, and prevent container damage.
3. Transport vehicles shall be equipped with fire fighting equipment and leakage emergency treatment equipment. Drivers and supercargo shall be professionally trained and familiar with the nature of isononyl alcohol and safe operation procedures.
4. Comply with road traffic safety regulations during transportation, keep the speed stable, and avoid speeding.
5. Pay close attention to weather changes during transportation to avoid transportation under bad weather conditions.

5. isononyl alcohol toxicity protective measures

1. contact isononyl alcohol operators should wear protective gloves, protective glasses and gas masks and other personal protective equipment, to avoid direct contact with isononyl alcohol.
2. Regularly carry out occupational health examination for operators exposed to isononanol, and deal with any abnormalities in time.
3. Ventilation facilities shall be set at the operation site to maintain air circulation and reduce the concentration of isononanol vapor.
4. In case of leakage accident, the emergency plan shall be started immediately and professionals shall be organized to deal with it to prevent the situation from expanding.

6. training and education

1. Conduct regular safety training and education for the staff engaged in the storage and transportation of isononanol to improve their safety awareness and operation skills.
2. The training content includes the nature, hazards, safety protection measures and emergency plans of isononyl alcohol.
3. Through training and education, make the staff understand and master the safety operation procedures of isononanol, and reduce the risk of accidents.

7. contingency plans and response

1. Formulate contingency plans for emergencies that may occur during the storage and transportation of isononanol.
2. The emergency plan shall include the organization, communication, emergency material reserve, on-site disposal, etc.
3. Train staff on emergency plans to ensure that they can respond quickly and take effective measures when emergencies occur.

8. conclusion

isononyl alcohol as a common chemical production raw material, there are certain safety risks in the process of storage and transportation. In order to ensure production safety and reduce the incidence of accidents, it is very important to formulate a set of scientific and reasonable storage and transportation specifications for isononanol. Through the safety storage and transportation specification described in this paper, the safety risk of isononyl alcohol in the storage and transportation process can be effectively reduced, and the life and property safety of the staff and the surrounding residents can be guaranteed.
