Trichloromethane (chloroform)

Cas N0. :67-66-3 Molecular formula :CHCl3

 

Trichloromethane is a colorless and transparent liquid with special odor, sweet taste, high refractive index, non-flammable, heavy and volatile. Sensitive to light, it will react with oxygen in the air when exposed to light, and gradually decompose to generate highly toxic phosgene (carbonyl chloride) and hydrogen chloride.

Production use
Organic synthesis raw materials, mainly used for the production of Freon (F-21, F-22, F-23), dyes and drugs, in medicine, commonly used as anesthetics. It can be used as a solvent and extractant for antibiotics, spices, oils, resins, and rubber. It can be mixed with carbon tetrachloride to make a non-freezing fireproof liquid. Also used as propellant for aerosols, fumigants for grains and standard solutions for temperature calibration. Industrial products are usually added with a small amount of ethanol, so that the generated phosgene reacts with ethanol to form non-toxic diethyl carbonate. Before using the industrial product, a small amount of concentrated sulfuric acid can be added, shaken, washed with water, and dried with calcium chloride or potassium carbonate to obtain ethanol-free chloroform.
 
Storage conditions
 
Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat sources. The storage temperature should not exceed 30℃, and the relative humidity should not exceed 80%. Keep container tightly closed. It should be stored separately from alkalis, aluminum, and edible chemicals, and should not be mixed. Storage areas should be equipped with emergency release equipment and suitable containment materials.
