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

The safety storage and transportation specification
of brominated acetone
1. Introduction

Brominated acetone is an important chemical production raw material, widely used in medicine, pesticides, spices and other fields. However, due to its flammable, toxic, corrosive and other characteristics, the safety requirements for storage and transportation are extremely high. In order to ensure the safety of production, transportation and use, it is very important to formulate the safety storage and transportation specifications of bromoacetone.

2. the physical and chemical properties of brominated acetone

brominated acetone is a colorless transparent liquid with pungent odor. Its molecular formula is CH3COCH2Br, boiling point is 116.5 ℃, flash point is 21 ℃, density is 1.35g/cm3. Bromoacetone reacts with strong oxidants, strong bases, strong acids and other substances to generate flammable and explosive gases such as hydrogen and hydrogen bromide.

3. the toxicity and harm of bromoacetone

bromoacetone has certain toxicity to human body. Prolonged exposure or inhalation of bromoacetone vapor may lead to nervous system damage, liver damage, skin irritation and other health problems. In addition, brominated acetone is also corrosive and has a certain destructive effect on metal, rubber and other substances.

4. safety of brominated acetone storage specification

1. storage facilities: brominated acetone should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated special warehouse, away from fire, heat and direct sunlight. The warehouse floor shall be anti-skid and anti-leakage facilities shall be provided.
2. Storage container: Bromoacetone should be stored in a special sealed container with corrosion resistance, pressure resistance, leakage prevention and other characteristics. Regularly check the container and its sealing performance to ensure that there is no leakage.
3. Storage Limit: The amount of bromoacetone stored in a single warehouse should not exceed the specified limit to avoid accidental risks.
4. Safety management: The warehouse storing brominated acetone shall be provided with obvious safety warning signs, and equipped with corresponding fire fighting equipment and leakage emergency treatment equipment. Regularly conduct safety inspections to ensure the safe operation of storage facilities.

5. safety transport specification of brominated acetone

1. transport vehicles: brominated acetone should be transported by special dangerous goods transport vehicles, which should comply with relevant laws and regulations and standards, and have safety performance such as fire prevention, explosion prevention and leakage prevention.
2. Transport packaging: The transport packaging of bromoacetone should meet relevant standards and have sufficient strength and sealing performance to prevent leakage during transportation. Dangerous goods mark and relevant information shall be marked on the outside of the package.
3. Transportation routes: Choose reasonable transportation routes and avoid passing through sensitive areas such as densely populated areas and important facilities. During transportation, traffic rules should be observed to keep the speed stable and avoid sudden braking and other operations.
4. Transport personnel: The transport of bromoacetone staff should have the relevant qualifications and experience, understand the nature of bromoacetone and safe operation procedures. Conduct regular safety training to improve the safety awareness and operation skills of staff.

6. emergency treatment measures

During the storage and transportation of bromoacetone, in case of leakage, fire and other accidents, the following emergency treatment measures should be taken:

1. Leakage treatment: immediately cut off the leakage source, and use special absorption materials to clean up the leakage to avoid the spread of the leakage. If a large number of leaks occur, the police should be immediately called and preventive measures should be taken.
2. Fire treatment: use dry powder, foam and other fire extinguishing equipment to extinguish the fire, alarm and start the emergency plan at the same time. During the fire extinguishing process, attention should be paid to protect the safety of site workers and surrounding facilities.

7. summary

bromoacetone as an important raw material for chemical production, its safe storage and transportation is very important. By complying with relevant regulations and standards, strengthening safety management and training, the safety of bromoacetone during storage and transportation can be improved, and the safe and smooth production and use of the process can be guaranteed.
