N-(HYDROXYMETHYL)ETHANOLAMINE - Introduction
N-(Hydroxymethyl)Ethanolamine, also known as methyldiethanolamine or MDEA for short, is a colorless liquid. The following is a description of its nature, use, formulation and safety information:
Nature:
1. Appearance: colorless liquid
2. molecular formula: C3H9NO2
3. Molecular weight: 91.11g/mol
4. melting point:-40 ℃
5. Boiling point: 235 ℃
6. density: 1.03 g/cm
7. Vapor pressure: 0.11 mmHg (20 ℃)
8. stability: stable, but encounter strong acid and strong oxidant will react.
Use:
1. Desulfurizer: MDEA is widely used in gas treatment and petroleum industry to remove harmful gases such as sulfur dioxide.
2. Desiccant: It can be used as a moisture adsorbent in various solvents and coatings.
3. Thickener: MDEA can be used in the preparation of thickener, nanoparticle dispersant and colloidal dispersant.
Method:
MDEA can be prepared by reacting ethanolamine and formaldehyde. Formaldehyde reacts with ethanolamine under alkaline conditions to produce MDEA.
Safety Information:
1. MDEA is an irritating compound that may cause irritation and burns in contact with skin and eyes.
2. it is not flammable, but at high temperatures can be decomposed to produce toxic gases.
3. use should pay attention to avoid inhalation and skin contact, wear appropriate protective equipment.
4. During storage and operation, good ventilation conditions must be maintained.
5. if accidentally inhaled or contact, should immediately away from the scene, medical treatment.
Please note that when using or handling this compound, correct operating procedures and safety measures should be followed, and professional advice should be consulted.
