Petroleum ether, a light petroleum products , is low relative molecular mass Of hydrocarbons (mainly Pentane and hexane )It is a colorless transparent liquid with kerosene smell. Insoluble in water, soluble in ethanol , benzene chloroform , oil, etc Organic solvent Mainly used as solvent and grease treatment, but easy to volatilize and ignite. laboratory column chromatography Petroleum ether is commonly used( PE )And ethyl acetate EA )Do Eluent Petroleum ether is not equal to gasoline At the same time, there is no ether bond (C-O-C) in its structure.

Fire extinguishing method: Water spray cooling If possible, move the container from the fire site to an open place. If the container in the fire site has changed color or is safe Pressure relief device If there is a sound in the air, evacuate immediately.
Extinguishing agent: foam, carbon dioxide, dry powder, sand. Fire extinguishing with water is invalid.

Leakage emergency treatment

Announce
edit
Evacuate the personnel in the leakage contaminated area to a safe area quickly, isolate them, and strictly restrict access. Cut off the ignition source. proposal Emergency Management Personnel shall wear self-contained positive pressure respirators Antistatic clothing Cut off the leakage source as much as possible. Prevent inflow sewer Flood discharge ditch And so on.
Small leakage: use Activated carbon Or others Inert material Absorption. Incombustibility can also be used dispersant Brushing with the prepared emulsion, Lotion After dilution, it is put into the waste water system.
Large amount of leakage: build a dike or dig a pit to receive. Cover with foam to reduce steam disaster. Transfer to tank car or special purpose with explosion-proof pump collector Inside, recycle or transport to waste disposal Site disposal.

Handling and storage

edit
Operation precautions: closed operation, General ventilation Operators must be specially trained and strictly abide by Operating Procedures Recommended for operators Filter gas mask Half mask ), Dai Chemical Safety goggles , wear Antistatic clothing , Dai Rubber oil resistant gloves Keep away from kindling and heat source, Workplace Smoking is strictly prohibited. Use explosion-proof ventilation system And equipment. Prevent vapor leakage into the air of the workplace. Avoid contact with oxidants. Load and unload gently during transportation to prevent damage to packaging and containers. Equipped with corresponding varieties and quantities Fire Equipment and Leakage emergency treatment Equipment. Empty containers may leave harmful substances.
Precautions for storage: store in a cool and ventilated warehouse. Keep away from kindling and heat sources. The warehouse temperature should not exceed 25 ℃. Keep container sealed. It shall be stored separately from oxidant and shall not be mixed. Explosion proof lighting and ventilation facilities shall be adopted. It is forbidden to use those easy to generate sparks mechanical equipment And tools. The storage area shall be equipped with leakage emergency treatment equipment and appropriate materials.
