Hazard characteristics analysis of solid sodium methoxide
\n1.1 transportation hazards of solid sodium methoxide
\nIn the United Nations Recommendation on the transport of dangerous goods (hereinafter referred to as the \u201crecommendation\u201d), dangerous goods are divided into explosives, gases (including flammable gases, toxic gases, non flammable and non-toxic gases), flammable liquids, flammable solids (including substances prone to spontaneous combustion and substances that emit flammable gases in contact with water) according to the risk or the most important risk during the transport of dangerous goods Oxidizing substances and organic peroxides, toxic and infectious substances, radioactive substances, corrosive substances, miscellaneous hazardous substances and articles (including substances harmful to the environment).
\nAccording to the dangerous degree of the contents, the packaging of dangerous goods is divided into three packaging categories: the most dangerous substances are packed in class I packaging; Medium hazardous substances shall be packed in class II packaging; Mild hazardous substances shall be packed in class III packaging. In the \u201clist of dangerous goods\u201d in the proposal, the UN number of solid sodium methoxide is un1431, the main risk is class 4.2 self heating substance, the secondary risk is class 8 corrosive substance and class II packaging. According to the provisions in 2.0.3.3 \u201clist of hazard sequence\u201d of the proposal, when the dangerous goods have class 4.2 hazard characteristics and class II packaging, and also have class 8 corrosive hazard and class II or III packaging, the overall hazard of class 4.2 shall be placed before class 8, that is, the goods have double hazard characteristics during transportation. The self heating danger of solid sodium methoxide is a process in which the substance gradually reacts with oxygen in the air to produce heat. If the rate of heat generation exceeds the rate of heat loss, the temperature of the material will rise, and after a period of induction period, it can spontaneously catch fire or spontaneous combustion. Class II packaging is adopted for the transportation of solid sodium methoxide, that is, 25mm cube sample is tested at 140 \u2103 in the self heating hazard test. When the external ambient temperature is 140 \u2103, the internal temperature of the sample can exceed the ambient temperature by 60 \u2103 to more than 200 \u2103, which is the most dangerous self heating substance.
\nThe corrosive hazard of solid sodium methoxide refers to that it is very easy to react with water to form strong caustic sodium hydroxide, which will cause skin corrosion if exposed to human body. The reaction equation is: H2O + CH3ONa \u2192 CH3OH + NaOH. Skin corrosion refers to irreversible damage to the skin. The corrosion reaction was characterized by ulceration, bleeding and bloody scab, and at the end of the observation period of 14 days, the skin, complete hair loss area and scab faded due to bleaching. In the experiment, if a substance causes skin damage to at least one test animal after contacting with the skin for up to 4 hours, that is, visible epidermal and dermal necrosis, the substance is corrosive to the skin.
\nFrom the above dangerous characteristics of sodium methoxide, it can be seen that the use of packaging containing less goods to prevent heat accumulation, avoid contact with air and moisture, and maintain the sealing of its packaging is the key factor to ensure transportation safety.
\n1.2 GHS classification of solid sodium methoxide
\nThe United Nations globally harmonized system of classification and labelling of chemicals (hereinafter referred to as GHS) is a set of chemical classification and labelling system, which is used to unify the classification and labelling of chemicals in different countries and regions around the world. It is jointly prepared and formulated by the organization for economic cooperation and development (OECD), the International Labour Organization and the GHS subcommittee under the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe. The first edition was officially published in December 2002. After further modification and improvement by experts from various countries, the latest version is the sixth revised version published in 2015. GHS focuses on the whole life cycle of chemicals such as production, transportation, sales and use. The classification of chemicals includes 17 physical hazards, 10 health hazards and 2 environmental hazards.
\nWhen formulating the 2015 edition of the catalogue, the State Administration of work safety referred to some internationally widely used GHS classification databases, including:
\nAnnex 6 of the regulation \u201cclassification, labelling and packaging of chemicals\u201d (CLP) formulated by the European Chemical Agency lists the GHS classification of more than 4000 common hazardous chemicals. The classification of solid sodium methoxide is: self heating substances and mixtures, category 1, skin corrosion \/ irritation category 1b;
\nThe \u201chazardous substances and new organics\u201d (HSNO) regulations database developed by the New Zealand Environmental Protection Agency lists the GHS classification of more than 5400 common hazardous chemicals. The classification of solid sodium methoxide is: self heating substances and mixtures category 1, acute toxicity (oral) category 4, skin corrosion \/ irritation category 1b, and serious eye injury \/ eye irritation category 1.
\nThe GHS classification database developed by the National Institute of technology and evaluation (nite) of Japan lists the GHS classification of more than 3000 common hazardous chemicals. The classification of solid sodium methoxide is: flammable solid category 1, self heating substances and mixtures category 1, acute toxicity (oral) category 4, skin corrosion \/ irritation category 1, severe eye injury \/ eye irritation category 1, Specific target organ toxicity \u2013 single exposure category 3 (anesthetic effects).
\nBased on the classification of solid sodium methoxide in the above three databases, solid sodium methoxide is classified into self heating substances and mixtures category 1, skin corrosion \/ irritation category 1b and severe eye injury \/ eye irritation category 1 in the \u201cclassification information table of hazardous chemicals\u201d of the catalogue 2015 edition. According to the requirements of the sixth revision of GHS, the hazard publicity label of solid sodium methoxide is shown in Table 1 (where hxxx is the code of GHS hazard statement and pxxx is the code of GHS prevention statement).<\/p>\n\r\n\t
