Specifications

Basic information

Acetone, English name is acetone, molecular formula is CH3COCH3. Also known as dimethyl ketone, is a simple saturated ketone. It is a colorless and transparent liquid with a special spicy smell. Soluble in water and methanol, ethanol, ether, chloroform, pyridine and other organic solvents. Flammable, volatile, more active chemical properties.

The industrial production of acetone is mainly based on the cumene method. Acetone is mainly used as a solvent in the industry for explosives, plastics, rubber, fiber, leather, grease, paint and other industries, but also as a synthetic ketene, acetic anhydride, iodoform, polyisoprene rubber, methyl methacrylate, chloroform, epoxy resin and other substances important raw materials. It is also often used as a raw material for drugs by criminals.

Application areas

Acetone is an important raw material for organic synthesis, which is used to produce epoxy resin, polycarbonate, organic glass, medicine, pesticide, etc. It is also an important raw material for the manufacture of acetic anhydride, diacetone alcohol, chloroform, iodoform, epoxy resin, polyisoprene rubber, methyl methacrylate, etc. Used as a solvent in smokeless powder, celluloid, acetate, paint and other industries. Used as an extraction agent in oil and other industries.

For the preparation of organic glass monomer, bisphenol A, diacetone alcohol, hexanediol, methyl isobutyl ketone, methyl isobutyl methanol, chloroform, iodoform and other important organic chemical raw materials. It is used as an excellent solvent in coating, acetate fiber spinning process, cylinder storage of acetylene, dewaxing in oil refining industry, etc.

Packaging, transportation and safety

Mode of transport

During transportation, the transportation vehicles shall be equipped with corresponding types and quantities of fire-fighting equipment and leakage emergency treatment equipment. recommend morning and evening transportation in summer. The tank (tank) truck used in transportation shall be provided with grounding chain, and the hole partition plate can be set in the tank to reduce static electricity generated by vibration. It is strictly prohibited to mix with oxidizing agents, reducing agents, alkalis, edible chemicals, etc. During transportation, it shall be protected from sun exposure, rain and high temperature. Stopover should be away from fire, heat, high temperature zone. The exhaust pipe of the vehicle carrying the goods must be equipped with fire retardant device, and it is forbidden to use mechanical equipment and tools that are easy to produce sparks for loading and unloading. Road transportation shall be carried out according to the prescribed route, and do not stop in residential areas and densely populated areas. It is forbidden to slip away during railway transportation. It is strictly prohibited to use wooden ships and cement ships for bulk transportation.

Method of storage

1. This product is highly flammable and has serious fire hazard, belonging to Class A fire hazardous substances. Store in a cool and dry, well-ventilated place, away from heat, fire and taboo substances. All containers shall be placed on the ground. However, the long-term storage and recovery of acetone often have acidic impurities, corrosive to metal.

2. Packed in a 200L(53USgal) iron drum with a net weight of 160kg. The inside of the iron drum should be clean and dry. Store in a dry and ventilated place, keep the temperature below 35 ℃, prevent violent impact during loading, unloading and transportation, and prevent sun and rain. According to the provisions of fire and explosion-proof chemicals storage and transportation.

3. Precautions for storage: Store in a cool, well-ventilated special warehouse, away from fire and heat sources. The temperature of the warehouse should not exceed 29 ℃. Keep container sealed. It should be stored separately from oxidizing agent, reducing agent and alkali, and mixed storage should not be allowed. Explosion-proof lighting and ventilation facilities shall be adopted. It is forbidden to use mechanical equipment and tools that are easy to produce sparks. The storage area should be equipped with leakage emergency treatment equipment and suitable containment materials.
