[Chemical Knowledge]：Specification for storage and transport of tert-amyl alcohol

The safety of tert-amyl alcohol storage and transportation specifications

1. Introduction

tert-amyl alcohol is a common chemical production raw material, widely used in medicine, pesticides, spices and other fields. However, due to its flammable and toxic properties, there are certain safety risks in the storage and transportation of tert-amyl alcohol. In order to ensure the safety of people's lives and property, it is very important to formulate scientific and reasonable storage and transportation specifications for tert-amyl alcohol.

2. the physical and chemical properties of tert-amyl alcohol

tert-amyl alcohol is a colorless transparent liquid with pungent odor. Its molecular formula is C5H12O and its molecular weight is 88.16. Tert-amyl alcohol is flammable and causes combustion and explosion in case of open flame and high heat energy. In addition, tert-amyl alcohol is also toxic and can enter the human body through inhalation, ingestion and skin contact, causing irritation and damage to the eyes, skin and respiratory system.

3. tert-amyl alcohol storage specification

1. storage place should choose a cool, ventilated, dry place, away from fire, heat source. The storage temperature should not exceed 30 ℃, and the relative humidity should be kept below 75%.
2. storage containers should be made of stainless steel or glass steel material, avoid the use of iron containers, so as to avoid chemical reaction. The container shall be well sealed to prevent volatilization and leakage of tert-amyl alcohol.
3. The storage area should be set up obvious safety warning signs, no fireworks. The storage site shall be equipped with fire extinguishers, fire hydrants and other fire fighting equipment, which shall be inspected and maintained regularly.
4. During the storage process, regular inspection shall be carried out, and leakage and volatilization shall be dealt with in time.

4. t-amyl alcohol transport specifications

1. Transport vehicles should comply with relevant national standards, with explosion-proof, fire prevention and other functions. During transportation, the vehicle speed shall be kept stable, and operations such as sudden braking and sharp turning shall be avoided.
2. Before transportation, check whether the packaging of tert-amyl alcohol is intact, and deal with damage and leakage in time. During transportation, ensure that the container is well sealed to prevent volatilization and leakage of tert-amyl alcohol.
3. During transportation, traffic rules shall be observed to avoid illegal acts such as overloading and speeding. The transportation route should try to choose the road with smooth road and smooth traffic, and avoid staying in the prosperous urban area, densely populated area and other places.
4. Professional escorts shall be equipped during transportation to supervise transportation safety. Escorts should be professionally trained to understand the nature of tert-amyl alcohol and transport safety knowledge.
emergency treatment measures for
5.

1. emergency treatment for leakage: in case of tert-amyl alcohol leakage, the leakage source should be cut off immediately, and mixed with sand, dry lime or soda ash should be recycled to the waste treatment site for disposal. At the same time, personnel from the leakage pollution area should be quickly evacuated to the safety zone, isolated and strictly restricted. It is recommended that emergency personnel wear self-contained positive pressure breathing apparatus and protective clothing. Cut off leakage sources as much as possible to prevent them from flowing into restricted spaces such as sewers and flood discharge ditches. In case of a small amount of leakage, sand or other non-combustible materials shall be used for adsorption or absorption; in case of a large amount of leakage, embankments shall be constructed or pits shall be dug for containment; foam shall be used for covering to reduce steam disasters. Transfer to the tank or special collector with explosion-proof pump, recycle or transport to the waste treatment site for disposal.
2. Protective measures: When the respiratory system is protected and the concentration in the air exceeds the standard, wear a filtering gas mask (half mask). In case of emergency rescue or evacuation, it is recommended to wear air respirator. Wear chemical safety goggles for eye protection. Body protection, wear anti-static overalls. Wear latex gloves for hand protection. For other protection, smoking, eating and drinking are prohibited at the work site. After work, shower and change clothes. Maintain good hygiene habits. Pre-employment and regular medical examinations are carried out.

6. conclusion

tert-amyl alcohol as a common chemical production raw material, there are certain safety risks in the process of storage and transportation. In order to ensure the safety of people's lives and property, scientific and reasonable storage and transportation standards must be formulated and strictly observed. At the same time, we should strengthen the training and drills of emergency response measures to improve the ability to respond to emergencies.
