Arsenic oxide (3) - Nature
Open Data Verified Data
White or transparent glass, amorphous block or crystalline powder. Is an amphoteric oxide. Melting point 275 °c, boiling point 465 °c. Dissolved in dilute hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide and sodium carbonate solution. Slightly soluble in cold water, soluble in 15 boiling water, insoluble in chloroform, ethanol and ether. The sublimation temperature was about 218 °c. In case of high heat, sublimation produces highly toxic gas.

Arsenic oxide (3) - Preparation Method
Open Data Verified Data
- Direct method (oxidation roasting method): After the realgar ore is crushed to a particle size of less than 3mm, it is sent to a baking furnace and air is introduced to conduct oxidation roasting at about 550 ℃, the generated furnace gas containing dust is subjected to dust removal, condensation, gravity sedimentation, cooling crystallization at 220~250 ℃, and then electric dust removal, and the obtained solid arsenic trioxide is classified and air-separated, the arsenic trioxide product was obtained.
- by-product recovery method: industrially, arsenic trioxide is produced by dedusting, cooling, and trapping the generated gas by crushing and oxidizing roasting of arsenic-recoverable ore.

Arsenic oxide (3) - Safety
Open Data Verified Data
high toxicity class. Rat oral LDso: 15.1 mg/kg mouse oral LDso: 39.4 mg/kg. Rabbits by eye 50ug (24h). There is severe stimulation. Rabbit percutaneous 5mg (24h), there are severe stimulation. The lethal dose to humans is about 0.06g. It mainly affects the nervous system and capillary permeability, and has a stimulating effect on the skin and mucous membranes. Avoid contact with oxidants, acids, halogens. Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat source. The packaging is sealed. It should be stored separately from oxidants, acids, halogens and edible chemicals.
