Product characteristics Aluminum phosphide tablets are gray-black solids with white spots, and the appearance of the powder is gray-green. The product is easy to absorb moisture in the air, decompose and release high-efficiency and highly toxic phosphine gas. Each gram of aluminum phosphide tablet can produce about 1 gram of phosphine gas. When the air contains 0.01 mg of phosphine per liter, it is lethal to pests. It is widely used to fumigate pests in grains, seeds, medicinal materials, feed, tobacco and other items, it can also be used for fumigation and insecticide in silos, warehouses, containers, factories, storage rooms, railway carriages, trucks, ships and other spaces.
Fumigation aluminum phosphide in warehouses and tents to control various stored grain pests and mites, but not to poison mites during dormant period. It has a wide range of applications and is not affected by temperature. It can not only fumigate raw grains and finished grains, but also fumigate crop seeds and various storage equipment. Phosphine gas is easy to diffuse in the air. Fumigation warehouses can generally be dispersed within 24 to 28 hours without affecting the color, taste and food hygiene of the grain. The germination rate of fumigated seeds is not affected within the prescribed dose and within the airtight days. It is also used for field and warehouse fumigation and rodent control.
Fumigation in the warehouse. Generally, 6-9 grams of tablets or 4-6 grams of powder are applied per cubic meter of grain pile, or 5-10 tablets per ton of grain. Bagged raw grains, push a medicinal stick into the middle of the bag; if a large amount of bagged raw grains are smoked, 10 tablets per ton of grain can be scattered in the gaps of the grain bag or in the bamboo trough on the ground. If it is a large pile of grain in bulk, spread the calculated tablets on the surface of the grain pile. When fumigating flour, put the tablets in the gap between the flour bag, but not directly into the bag, so as not to pollute the flour. If you fumigate beans sealed from jars and urns, take one tablet every 150~300kg and smoke for 72 hours. The closed condition of the warehouse is good, and the dosage can be less. If the closed condition is poor, the dosage can be more. In empty storage, 3~6 grams of tablets or 2~4 grams of powder are used per cubic meter. The fumigation time should be determined according to the temperature, at 12~15 ℃, fumigation for 5 days; 16~20 ℃, fumigation for 4 days; above 20 ℃, fumigation for 3 days; above 28 ℃, the time for fumigation of seeds should be shorter, So as not to affect seed germination. After fumigation, ventilation and gas dispersion for 5~6 days, the poison gas can completely disappear, and the remaining small amount of residue is non-toxic aluminum hydroxide, which does not need to be removed. Aluminum phosphide is most suitable for food and commodities with a long storage period. Due to the long time required to exert the efficacy, it is generally not used for quarantine emergency treatment.
Open-air tent fumigation. Generally, 10-12 tablets per ton of grain are used. Store in the open air, spread the tablets on the grain pile, or put them in the bamboo trough at the bottom of the store, and cover the plastic tent. If it is a large amount of bagged grain, spread the tablets between the gaps in the accumulated grain bags, or insert one tablet of medicine into every 100kg of bagged grain, and then cover it with a tabernacle. The place around which it is in contact with the ground is tightly pressed with masonry or with mud. Fumigation time is the same as warehouse fumigation.
Rodent control. The use of aluminum phosphide to kill rats is the characteristic that the produced phosphine gas has a larger specific gravity than air. The gas can go deep into the rodent nest, and it can often get twice the result with half the effort for a hole of rats or rats in the lactation stage. Generally, 0.5~1 tablet is used for each hole. For example, if the rat hole is large and the hole is large, one tablet can be added. Use a small spoon to send the tablet into the hole, and block the hole with soil. For example, after the tablet is put into the rat hole, add a small amount of water to quickly decompose the tablet and release phosphine, which has faster drug effect and better deratization effect.
Aluminum phosphide (English Aluminum phosphide), also known as phosphorus poison net, is an efficient insecticide. There are two kinds of powder and tablet, and tablets are commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine warehouses.
Because the phosphine produced by the decomposition of aluminum phosphide tablets is a highly toxic gas, the toxicity to humans and animals mainly affects the central nervous system, and the damage is rapid and serious; followed by the respiratory, cardiovascular system and liver. When the air contains phosphine 0.002~0.004mg/L, you can smell the odor; when the content per liter reaches 0.01mg, it is very dangerous for people; when it reaches 0.14mg, it quickly makes people have difficulty breathing, lose consciousness, and spasm., The pulse accelerates, and the internal organs have steatosis, leading to death.
The use method of insecticidal aluminum phosphide in the traditional Chinese medicine warehouse is to cover the stacked medicine pile with multiple layers of sacks, then apply aluminum phosphide on the sacks, and immediately seal the warehouse or cover the tent with plastic film for fumigation. The application dose is 5~7g per cubic meter of warehouse space. Generally, after administration, the insecticidal effect can be achieved by sealing for 3~5 days. The airtight time is related to the change of temperature. When the temperature is 12 ℃ ~ 15 ℃, it should be airtight for 5 days; when it is 16 ℃ ~ 20 ℃, it should be airtight for 4 days; when it is above 20 ℃, it should be airtight for 3 days.
Note When the concentration of phosphine in the air (25 ℃) reaches 26g/m3, it will cause phosphine to burn or explode. Therefore, the dosage of each application point shall not exceed 90g; The tent shall not cover the application dish to prevent the air from circulating and the local range from reaching the above concentration. Avoid using aluminum phosphide in the open air to prevent rainwater from rushing into the tent and causing explosion accidents in case of severe decomposition of aluminum phosphide.
Opening the iron cylinder containing aluminum phosphide tablets is best carried out in an outdoor ventilated place. People should stand in the upper hand and wear gas masks or gas masks and rubber gloves. After the aluminum phosphide is opened in the barrel, if the amount remains at one time, it shall be tightly tied with a plastic bag in the original barrel, and the barrel mouth shall be sealed with gummed paper.
Leak detection, check whether phosphine leaks, can be tested with 10% silver nitrate test paper, the leak test paper is black. Clamp or seal the leak. The chemical reaction formula is: PH3 3AgNO3 ─ & rarr;3HNO3 Ag3P↓ (black)
Ventilation and poisoning. You should choose to open the doors and windows in the warehouse on a windy sunny day. When ventilating, you should bring a gas mask, quickly collect the residue in a container, and bury it deep in the ground. The residue should be powdery. If there are particles or pieces, do not bury it deep, and move it into other fumigation piles to continue decomposition. The removed tabernacle should be blown out at the air circulation. Normal operation will be carried out only when phosphine residue cannot be detected after 3 days of ventilation in the warehouse.
Poisoning treatment After admission, the poisoned person should immediately wash the skin of the whole body, change clothes, inhale oxygen, apply corticosteroids, and intravenous polarization solution to protect the heart, liver and kidney functions, and prevent pulmonary edema. Regardless of inhalation or oral poisoning, do not use pralidoxime or chlorophanine treatment.
Immediately after toxic poisoning, there will be retrosternal pain, epigastric pain, general fever, burning, loss of consciousness, and blood pressure drop. It should be strictly prevented from sucking into the human body and avoid contact with the skin.
The whole production process should be completely sealed and well ventilated. Production workers should wear protective equipment. In case of phosphine gas leakage, a gas mask must be worn immediately for treatment.
Chemical properties light yellow or gray green square crystalline powder, no smell. Slightly soluble in cold water, soluble in ethanol and ether.
The use is fumigation insecticide, which can fumigate raw grains and finished grains, as well as seed grains and various storage equipment. It is also used in other closed places to kill insects, rat holes to kill rats and tree trunks to kill longicorn beetles. The dosage of grain fumigation is 10~30 g/t grain; The general dosage for warehouse fumigation is 1~4 tablets/m3.
Use insecticide, mainly used for granary fumigation
Production method The synthesis method uniformly mixes red phosphorus and aluminum powder according to the ratio of ingredients and then ignites and burns, and reacts to generate aluminum phosphide.

fumigation | fumigation of aluminum phosphide in the warehouse and curtain to control all kinds of stored grain pests and mites, but can not poison the dormant mites. Wide range of applications, not affected by temperature, not only can fumigation of the raw grain, grain, and fumigation of crop seeds and a variety of storage equipment. Phosphine gas is easy to diffuse in the air, the warehouse after fumigation, generally in 24~28 hours can be scattered, does not affect the food color, taste and food hygiene. The germination rate of fumigated seeds was not affected within the prescribed dose and closed days. Also used for field and warehouse fumigation of rats. Fumigation in warehouse. General per cubic meter of grain heap application of tablets 6~9 grams or powder 4~6 grams, or 5~10 per ton of grain calculation. Bag the raw grain, push 1 piece of medicinal wood stick to the middle part of the bag; If smoked a large number of bag of raw grain, can be 10 tablets per ton of grain drug spread in the grain bag of the gap between or in the ground of the bamboo trough. If it is a large pile of grain in bulk, the calculated tablets are scattered on the surface of the grain. Fumigation of flour, the tablets scattered in the gap between the flour bag, but not directly into the bag, so as not to contaminate the flour. If fumigation jar, VAT sealed beans, every 150~300 1 tablet, smoked 72 hours. Warehouse closed condition is good, the dosage can be less; If the sealing condition is poor, the dosage can be more. For empty bin treatment, 3-6 grams of tablets or 2-4 grams of powder per cubic meter are used. Fumigation time should be based on the temperature, at 12~15 ℃, smoked for 5 days; 16~20 ℃, smoked for 4 days; 20 ℃ or more, smoked for 3 days; 28 degrees Celsius, smoked seeds to shorter time, so as not to affect the seed germination. At the end of fumigation, ventilation scattered gas 5~6 days, the toxic gas can be completely disappeared, the remaining small amount of residue is non-toxic aluminum hydroxide, do not need to remove. Aluminum phosphide is most suitable for long storage period of food and commodities, due to the efficacy of the required time is longer, generally not used for Quarantine emergency treatment. Outdoor curtain fumigation. General use of 10~12 tablets per ton of grain. In the open air, put the tablets scattered on the grain surface, or put them in the bottom bamboo trough, and cover the plastic curtain. In the case of a large amount of bagged grain, put the tablets scattered between the gaps of the accumulated grain bags, or insert one pill per 100 of bagged grain and cover it with a curtain, All places in contact with the ground shall be compacted with masonry or with mud. The fumigation time was the same as the warehouse fumigation. Deratization. The use of aluminum phosphide rodent control is the use of phosphine gas than the specific gravity of air characteristics. Gas can go deep into the cavity of rats, and it can often get twice the result with half the effort for a hole of rats or rodents in the lactation stage. Generally, 0.5~1 tablet per hole, such as rat hole size, and 1 tablet can be added as needed. Put the tablets into the cavity with a small spoonful and seal the hole with soil.
