[Chemical Knowledge]：Specification for storage and transport of 4-hexanone

4-Hexanone Safe Storage and Transportation Specification

1. Introduction

4-Hexanone is an important chemical production raw material, widely used in medicine, pesticides, spices and other fields. However, due to its unique physical and chemical properties, 4-hexanone has certain safety risks during storage and transportation. In order to ensure the safety of people's lives and property, it is particularly important to formulate strict storage and transportation standards for 4-hexanone.

2. the physical and chemical properties of 4-hexanone

4-hexanone is a colorless and transparent liquid with a special odor. Its boiling point is 105 ℃, flash point is 21 ℃, flammable, in case of open flame, high heat or oxidant contact, there is a risk of combustion and explosion. 4-hexanone has a stimulating effect on the eyes, skin and mucous membranes. Inhalation of high concentrations of 4-hexanone can cause central nervous system inhibition, headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms.

3. storage specification

1. The storage place should choose a cool, ventilated and dry place, away from fire and heat sources. The storage temperature shall not exceed 30 ℃ and the relative humidity shall not exceed 80%.
2. The storage container shall be a special container with good sealing performance to avoid leakage. The container shall be inspected and maintained regularly to ensure that it is in good condition.
3. The storage area should be set up obvious safety warning signs, no fireworks. The storage site shall be equipped with corresponding fire-fighting equipment and leakage emergency treatment equipment.
4. In the process of storage, the storage and delivery of 4-hexanone shall be strictly controlled, and records shall be made to ensure that the accounts are consistent.

4. transport specifications

1. Transport vehicles should comply with relevant standards, with good sealing performance and anti-static facilities. In the process of transportation, it should keep running smoothly to avoid severe vibration, collision and friction.
2. Before transportation, check whether the packaging of 4-hexanone is in good condition and whether the identification is clear. It is strictly prohibited to mix with oxidizing agents, acids, alkali metals and other items.
3. Comply with road traffic safety regulations during transportation and avoid driving during high temperature periods. During transportation, it should be kept away from open flame and high heat area.
4. Transportation personnel should be professionally trained and familiar with the physical and chemical properties of 4-hexanone and transportation safety knowledge. In the process of transportation, we should be vigilant and take timely measures if any abnormal situation is found.

5. leakage emergency treatment

1. When 4-hexanone leakage is found, the operation should be stopped immediately, and the leakage source should be closed to prevent the leakage from spreading.
2. Use special absorbent materials to absorb and treat the leakage to avoid flowing into sewers or drains.
3. For a small amount of leakage, sand, dry lime or soda ash can be mixed and recycled; for a large amount of leakage, embankments or pits should be built and covered with foam to reduce steam disasters.
4. Wear protective gloves and masks when handling the leakage to avoid direct contact with the leakage.

6. safety protection measures

1. storage and transportation of 4-hexanone staff should be regularly physical examination to ensure good physical condition. People with nervous system diseases, skin diseases and respiratory diseases should not engage in related work.
2. The workplace should be equipped with ventilation facilities to maintain air circulation. Workers should wear protective gloves, masks and other personal protective equipment to avoid direct contact with 4-hexanone.
3. The workplace should be equipped with eye washers and emergency sprinklers to flush the eyes and body in time in the event of an accident.
4. Conduct regular safety training and drills to improve the safety awareness and operation skills of staff.

summary: As an important raw material for chemical production, 4-hexanone has certain safety risks during storage and transportation. In order to ensure the safety of people's lives and property, strict storage and transportation regulations must be formulated, and effective safety protection measures must be taken. By complying with relevant regulations and standards, strengthening management and training, the safety risks in the storage and transportation of 4-hexanone can be reduced, and the production safety can be guaranteed.
