as a condensation promoter in organic chemical reactions. Is the raw material for the synthesis of vitamin A. It is also used as a dehydrating agent, a dehalogenating agent, an alkylating agent, and an ammoniating agent. Dissociation of NH2 ions in liquid ammonia serves as an initiator for anionic polymerization to produce polyvinyl chloride. Also used in the manufacture of azide compounds, cyanide, indigo and hydrazine, as well as vitamin A and pharmaceutical synthesis of raw materials.
its dust toxic; Can cause corrosive burns, can seriously stimulate the eyes, skin and respiratory system. Production methods listed in this product, by-products of hydrogen and industrial wastewater. Hydrogen can be recovered and burned; For industrial wastewater, it can be treated. Strict management, civilized production, basically no other three wastes emissions. The hazard belongs to class I flammable solid, GB 12268-90-43051, 61520 UN NO. 2813, 3086, 2811. Packed in a two-layer polyethylene plastic bag (230 × 230 × 250) Cm3 square box with resin cover, with a net weight of 10kg per box. Or packed in an iron drum lined with polyethylene plastic bags, with a net weight of 20kg and 50kg per drum, etc. Outside the package, there shall be clearly marked_wet flammable solid-"toxic" text and icons, as well as the provisions of the goods must be written description. Store in a cool, dry warehouse. Should avoid contact with air, water, fire, in order to avoid explosion and fire. It should be kept in a closed form and protected from moisture. Storage time should not be too long. Handling is to be careful to handle, so as not to damage the package. Cover with tarpaulin during transportation in case of sun and rain. Hazards and protection: the dust is toxic. When disposing of the escaping materials, wear a gas mask and gloves, mix with dry sand and send it to an open place. After reacting with a large amount of water, put it into the wastewater system. The contaminated ground should also be washed with water, skin contact, eye irritation, should be immediately washed with water; Wrong in the mouth, should immediately gargle, drinking water and vinegar or 1% acetic acid, then the patient was sent to the hospital for treatment. After working in a high dust environment, take a bath and change clothes, store protective equipment separately, and often change. In case of fire, it can be controlled by dry sand, dry powder, carbon dioxide fire extinguishing or asbestos cloth.

quenching method | post-treatment is that if the amount is not large, it can be directly quenched with water. If the amount is large, water is slowly added dropwise. This was suspended in dry tetrahydrofuran and ethanol or isopropanol was added slowly with stirring until no more hydrogen was evolved and the mixture was clear. |
Chemical properties and main uses | sodium amide, also known as sodium amide or sodium ammonia, is white or olive green crystalline powder, has an ammonia flavor, chemical formula NaNH2, molecular weight 39.01, melting point of 210 °c, boiling point of 400 °c. Decomposition to sodium, nitrogen and hydrogen occurs when heated to 500-600 °c. With the intense effect of water, the generation of sodium hydroxide, and the release of ammonia. Slightly soluble in liquid ammonia, with a slower role of alcohol. Rapid absorption of carbon dioxide and water in air should be sealed for storage. Liquid can dissolve metal magnesium, zinc, molybdenum, tungsten and quartz, glass, silicate and other substances. An ionic compound consisting of a monovalent group of-amino NH-2, formed by the removal of a hydrogen atom from a sodium ion and an ammonia molecule. Sodium amino is flammable, explosive, corrosive and deliquescent. Since the amino group has a lone electron pair, it is easy to bind protons, so it is strongly hydrolyzed by water, and its aqueous solution is alkaline: NaNH2 H2O = NaOH NH3. Soluble in liquid ammonia and hot ethanol. The dust was toxic. Severe irritation of the skin, eyes and respiratory system. After contact with the skin can cause corrosive burns. It is used as an ammoniating agent in organic synthesis; A condensation accelerator; A dehydrating agent, a dehalogenating agent; An initiator for polymerization and a raw material for producing hydrazine, sodium cyanide, azide, cyanide, hydrazine and indigo. sodium amino acid is easily oxidized in the air, and a yellow layer of various oxidation products is formed on the surface. The partial oxidation products are explosive and may be initiated by friction or heat. The sodium amide is decomposed into nitrogen, sodium, hydrogen and ammonia when heated to 300-330 °c in a vacuum. Therefore, the bottle should be sealed and stored in an inert atmosphere to avoid contact with air, water or fire, so as to avoid explosion and fire. The reaction of sodium amino acid with carbon monoxide can produce sodium cyanide, and sodium cyanide can be produced by this reaction. Sodium amino acid is commonly used as a condensation promoter, a dehydrating agent, an alkylating agent, and the like for organic synthesis. Industrial use of molten sodium and gaseous ammonia in the reaction of 300~400 deg C to get the amino acid sodium, the laboratory is by sodium and liquid ammonia in the presence of a catalyst at room temperature when the reaction. |
