chemical property

crystal structure
During heating, oxygen is liberated and becomes Potassium pyrosulfate And completely decomposed at 100 ℃. It also decomposes in humid air. The influence of temperature and pH value on the decomposition speed. The higher the temperature is, the smaller the influence of pH value on the decomposition speed is. The presence of emulsifier and mercaptan can accelerate the decomposition. In alkaline solution, it can make some metal ions such as Ni 2+ 、Co 2+ 、Pb 2+ 、Mn 3+ Black oxide precipitates are formed. It has strong oxidizability and coagulability. It will explode when mixed with organic or reducing substances.

Protective measures

Announce
edit
Skin contact: Take off contaminated clothes and wash with plenty of flowing water.
Eye contact: Lift the eyelid and flush with flowing water or physiological saline. Get medical attention.
Inhalation: quickly leave the site to a place with fresh air. Keep the respiratory tract unobstructed. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If breathing stops, perform artificial respiration immediately. Get medical attention.
Ingestion: drink enough warm water to induce vomiting. Get medical attention.

Fire fighting measures

Announce
edit
Hazard characteristics: inorganic oxidant. There is a risk of combustion and explosion when contacting or mixing with organic substances, reducing agents, combustibles such as sulfur, phosphorus, etc. Explosion may occur when heated sharply.
Hazardous combustion products: sulfur oxide and oxygen.
Fire extinguishing method: use fog water, foam and sand to extinguish the fire.
Extinguishing agent: fog water, foam, sand.

Leakage emergency treatment

Announce
edit
Isolate the leakage contaminated area and restrict access. It is recommended that emergency personnel wear dust masks (full face masks) and gas suits. Do not touch the leakage directly. Do not allow the leakage to contact with organics, reducing agents and inflammables.
Small amount of leakage: sprinkle soda ash on the ground and collect it in a dry, clean and covered container. A large amount of water can also be used for flushing, and the diluted washing water will be discharged into the waste water system.
Large amount of leakage: collect and recycle or transport to waste disposal site for disposal.

Protective measures

Announce
edit
Engineering control: the production process is closed and ventilation is strengthened. Provide safety shower and eyewash equipment.
Respiratory system protection: When it is possible to contact with its dust, you should wear a hood type electric air supply filter type dust respirator. In high concentration environment, it is recommended to wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
Eye protection: protection has been made in respiratory system protection.
Body protection: wear polyethylene gas protective clothing.
Hand protection: wear rubber gloves.
Other protection: smoking, eating and drinking are prohibited at the work site. After work, take a shower and change clothes. Keep good hygiene habits.
