Raw Materials | Fluorosilicic acid Ammonium Bicarbonate |
colorless crystalline powder. There are two crystal forms a and B, a type is equiaxed crystal system, and B type is triclinic system. Odorless. Relative density: Type A 2.011; Type B 152. Soluble in alcohol and water, insoluble in acetone. Stable in air, but long-term heating will destroy the B- type crystal system and transform it into A- type. Toxic!
neutralization method: fluorophore powder, silica sand and sulfuric acid reaction to produce fluosilicic acid (see fluosilicic acid), and then neutralized to pH 8 with ammonia, while hot pressure filtration, remove insoluble impurities, and then concentrated, crystallization, centrifugal separation, drying, preparation of ammonium fluorosilicate product.
It is used as disinfectant, glass etchant, mothproofing agent for textiles and wood preservative in brewing industry. It is also used for light metal casting, electroplating, extracting potassium from green sand and preparing artificial cryolite and ammonium chlorate. It is also used for the determination of barium salt in chemical analysis.
This product is non-flammable, toxic, with strong irritation. Reaction with acid, release of toxic corrosive flue gas. By high heat decomposition of toxic gases. Poisoning by ingestion or inhalation. It has a strong stimulating effect on eyes, skin, mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract. Inhalation can cause laryngeal, bronchial spasm, inflammation, chemical Pneumonia, pulmonary edema. Precautions for operation: closed operation to provide adequate partial ventilation. Prevent the release of dust into the air of the workshop. Operators must be specially trained and strictly follow the operating procedures. It is recommended that the operator wear a dust mask (full face mask), adhesive clothing and rubber gloves. Dust should be avoided. Avoid contact with oxidants and acids. Emergency treatment equipment for leakage shall be provided. Harmful substances may remain in the empty container. A plastic woven bag was lined with a polyethylene plastic bag. 50kg net weight per bag. Should be stored in a cool, ventilated, dry warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat source. Protection from direct sunlight. The packaging is sealed. Should be stored separately from the oxidant, acids, edible chemicals, avoid mixing storage. The storage area shall have appropriate materials for containment of the leakage. Toxic substances. Risk code: GB 6.1 class 61514. No. 2854; IMDG CODE P. 6250, Class 6.1. Fire extinguishing method: fire-fighting personnel must wear full-body fire protection clothing and fire-fighting in the upwind direction. Move the container from the fire scene to the open space as far as possible when extinguishing the fire. Then select the appropriate fire extinguishing agent according to the cause of fire.
