Severe cases can cause liver and kidney damage. Local irritation of the skin, causing dry skin, scaling, chapped or rash. dichloroethane poisoning treatment should be symptomatic treatment, pay attention to protect the liver and kidney. Acute poisoning when not using morphine, epinephrine and other drugs. Alcohol use is prohibited during the recovery period. The maximum allowable concentration of Dichloroethane in the air of the workshop is 25mg/m3. |
Main application | the chemical properties of 1, 2-dichloroethane are similar to those of monochloroethane, and the hydrolysis of ethylene glycol, reaction with sodium cyanide to generate dinitrile, dehydrochlorination to generate acetylene. dichloroethane can be used as a standard substance for chromatographic analysis; Used in the manufacture of trichloroethane, dichloroethylene, ethylene glycol, ethylenediamine, oxalic acid, polyvinyl chloride, nylon, viscose rayon, styrene-butadiene rubber and various plastics, perfumes, soaps, adhesives, emollients, pharmaceuticals and pseudo-paints; Used as solvents for resins, asphalt, rubber, cellulose acetate, cellulose esters, paints, oils, waxes and polymers (such as polystyrene), extractants, impregnants, humectants, penetrants, fumigants, pesticides, herbicides and insecticides for soybean oil and caffeine; Dichloroethane can also be used in photography, electrostatic printing, water softening. Dichloroethane can be produced in the production of vinyl chloride monomer by pyrolysis; Dichloroethane is also a by-product of some organic chemical syntheses. dichloroethane is a petrochemical product produced by the chlorination of ethylene or obtained by the reaction of ethylene with hydrogen chloride and oxygen. vinyl chloride can be generated by heating dichloroethane and alkali solution, and the chemical reaction equation is as follows: |
fumigant | dichloroethane is a fumigant that was used as a fumigant (in combination with CCl4) in 1927, the dosage was 321ml/L. method of use: Since the vapor and liquid of dichloroethane are flammable, it must be mixed with some non-combustible substances. Suitable for food and seed. Dichloroethane is typically used in a 3:1 volume mixture with carbon tetrachloride. This mixture had no adverse effect on seed germination and grain milling quality. The mixture of dichloroethane and carbon tetrachloride is liquid at normal temperature. If it is used in the fumigation chamber, the liquid can be placed in a tray or poured directly onto the hemp bag. Since the gas is heavier than the air, strong ventilation with a fan or blower is necessary during the first hour of fumigation. Generally per cubic meter with 300 grams of dichloroethane or more, it is easy to cause combustion. Therefore, chloropicrin and dichloroethane can be used in combination to prevent combustion. After mixing can not be used for fumigation of cereal seeds. The amount of chloropicrin is about 1/10 of that of dichloroethane, and the method used may be a spraying method and a bag-hanging method. If the thickness of the grain pile exceeds 1 m, the pipe exploration method should be adopted. Fumigation grain warehouse per cubic meter of general medication 90-135 grams, fumigation 32 hours or so. Note: 1. Can not fumigate soybean, corn, barley, oats. 2. Before fumigation, the power supply must be cut off from outside the warehouse, and the staff should not bring any flammable items when the drug is applied. 3. The fumigation should be prepared for fire prevention. Reference: Wang Zhenrong, Li Buqing. Pesticide commodities. Beijing: China Commercial Press. 1996. P. 309. |
adverse effects and toxic symptoms | repeated skin and liquid contact can cause dryness, Desquamation and crevicular dermatitis. Liquids and vapors can also irritate the eye, causing severe damage, including corneal opacity. inhalation of high concentrations of vapor can stimulate the mucosa, inhibit the central nervous system, causing vertigo, Nausea, Vomit, mental confusion, and some can cause pulmonary edema. It can also stimulate the gastrointestinal tract, causing fatty liver and kidney lesions, severe until death. acute exposure can lead to respiratory and circulatory collapse and death. His necropsy showed most visceral injury and extensive bleeding. |
dangerous situation | (1) ingestion, inhalation and skin absorption are toxic; Strong eye and skin irritation, and can cause serious injury. (2) likely carcinogenic. (3) flammable, ignition point 775 F (401.7 C), there is a greater risk of combustion, the vapor can form an explosive mixture with air, the explosion limit of 6.2 ~ 16%. Since the vapor is heavier than the air, it can diffuse to ignition at a considerable distance from the ignition source and propagate the flame back. The allowable concentration in the air is 10ppm(40mg/m3) in the United States, and the health standard of our country is 25mg/m3. |
incompatibility | dichloroethane with strong oxidants, strong bases, chemically active metals (such as aluminum or magnesium powder, sodium, potassium) all were incompatible. |
