Ethane, refrigerated liquid [UN1961] [Flammable gas] - Safety

Open Data Verified Data

ethane can be regarded as an asphyxiant. Human inhaled LC50: 1000 × 10_6. Ethane is a gas with anesthetic and asphyxiating effects. The ethane gas is mainly for its flammable and explosive nature to cause enough attention. The leakage gas can be checked with the active solution. Store in a cool and ventilated place, away from fire and heat sources, not with oxygen, chlorine or other oxidants or combustible gas cylinder storage. Cylinder filling coefficient is not greater than 0. 34kg/L.

Ethane, refrigerated liquid [UN1961] [Flammable gas] - Introduction

High purity ethane, also known as ethane, is a colorless and odorless liquid. The following is an introduction to the properties, uses, production methods, and safety information of high-purity ethane:

1. Nature:
-High purity ethane is a volatile non-polar organic compound.
-It has poor solubility with water and can dissolve in non-polar solvents such as ethanol and ether solvents.
-It is a flammable and explosive substance that can form a flammable mixture with oxygen.

2. Purpose:
-As a solvent, high-purity ethane can be used as a reaction solvent in chemical laboratories, such as extraction solvents and liquid chromatography analysis.
-In the fields of petroleum and chemical industry, it is used to extract alkanes from crude oil, such as butane, n-hexane, etc.

3. Preparation method:
-High purity ethane can be obtained through the hydrogenation reaction of acetylene. Acetylene and hydrogen undergo a hydrogenation reaction under the action of a catalyst to produce ethylene, which is then subjected to the hydrogenation reaction of ethylene to obtain ethane.

4. Safety information:
-High purity ethane is a flammable and explosive substance that must be stored away from open flames, high temperatures, and oxidants.
-Avoid prolonged exposure to high concentration air during use to prevent poisoning.
-It is necessary to pay attention to the use of appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves, glasses, and protective clothing.
-When handling high-purity ethane, avoid breathing its vapors or skin contact to prevent irritation and damage.
-If a leak occurs, appropriate emergency measures must be taken, such as emptying, removing the fire source, and using appropriate extinguishing agents to extinguish it. Timely remove leaks to reduce the risk of fire and explosion.
Attention: High purity ethane is a hazardous chemical that must be strictly operated in accordance with relevant safety regulations when used or handled.
