Trichloromethane

Trichloromethane


Trichloromethane, an organic compound, is a colorless transparent liquid with special smell, sweet taste, high refraction, nonflammable, heavy and volatile. It is sensitive to light. It reacts with oxygen in the air when exposed to light and gradually decomposes to produce highly toxic phosgene (carbonyl chloride) and hydrogen chloride. 0.6%~1% ethanol can be added as stabilizer.

Product details


name

Trichloromethane

alias chloroform
chemical formula CHCl₃ CAS No 67-66-3
appearance Colorless transparent heavy liquid Solubility Solubility: It is miscible with ethanol, benzene, ether, petroleum ether, carbon tetrachloride, carbon disulfide and oil, and 1mL is soluble in 200mL water at 25 ℃

Purpose:

Organic synthetic raw materials are mainly used to produce Freon (F-21, F-22, F-23), dyes and drugs. In medicine, they are often used as anesthetics. It can be used as solvent and extractant for antibiotics, spices, oils, resins and rubber. It can be mixed with carbon tetrachloride to make a non freezing fireproof liquid. It is also used for propellant of aerosol, grain fumigant and standard solution for calibrating temperature. Industrial products are usually added with a small amount of ethanol to make the phosgene generated react with ethanol to generate non-toxic diethyl carbonate. Before using industrial products, a small amount of concentrated sulfuric acid can be added, shaken, washed, and dried with calcium chloride or potassium carbonate to obtain chloroform without ethanol.

Storage method:

Store in a cool and ventilated warehouse. Keep away from kindling and heat source. The warehouse temperature shall not exceed 30 ℃ and the relative humidity shall not exceed 80%. Keep container sealed. It shall be stored separately from alkali, aluminum and edible chemicals, and shall not be mixed. The storage area shall be equipped with leakage emergency treatment equipment and appropriate materials.
