[Safety Knowledge] Emergency Quick Check Manual for Hazardous Chemicals – Sodium Methoxide_Industrial Additives

Alias: sodium methoxide

Solid sodium methoxide is a colorless amorphous powder, sensitive to oxygen, flammable, soluble in methanol and ethanol, and decomposes into methanol and hydrogen when exposed to water Sodium oxide decomposes in air above 126.6°C. Mainly used in the production of sulfa drugs, VB6 and VA, sodium methoxide is also a catalyst for organic synthesis, used in pesticide production and oil processing industry.

Liquid sodium methoxide is a colorless or slightly yellow viscous liquid. Sensitive to oxygen, flammable and explosive. Very easy to absorb moisture. Soluble in methanol and ethanol, decomposes into methanol and sodium hydroxide when exposed to water, and decomposes in air above 126.6°C. Insoluble in benzene and toluene. It is highly irritating and extremely corrosive. It is used as a condensing agent, a strong alkaline catalyst, and a methoxylating agent for the preparation of vitamin B1 and A, sulfadiazine and other drugs. A small amount is used in pesticide production. It can also be used as a catalyst for processing edible fats and oils (especially lard). It can also be used as an analytical reagent.

The following is a chemical quick check for sodium methoxide:

Police

��

★Strongly irritating and corrosive

★Spontaneous combustion items. Heating may cause violent combustion or explosion

★It is prohibited to spray water into containers

Form

Molecular formula CHNaO2

Danger Category

4.2Spontaneous combustion items

Burning and explosion hazard

·Spontaneous combustion. Heating may cause violent combustion or explosion

·Build a dam downstream to intercept polluted water, and at the same time open channels upstream to divert it. Let clean water divert to new river channels

·Add dilute acid to neutralize contaminants

Fire fighting

Fire extinguishing media: dry powder, soda ash, lime, dry sand, carbon dioxide

·Do not use water or foam to extinguish large quantities of this product

· Under the premise of ensuring safety, move the packaging Away from the fire

·If a large amount of this product catches fire in a restricted space, it can be divided into packages and moved to an open area under suffocating conditions and allowed to burn

First aid

·Skin contact: Take off contaminated clothing immediately and use Rinse with plenty of running water for 20 to 30 minutes. Seek medical treatment

·Eye contact: Immediately lift eyelids and rinse thoroughly with plenty of running water or saline for 10-15 minutes. Seek medical treatment

·Inhalation: Leave the scene quickly to fresh air. Keep your airway open. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Breathing and heartbeat stop. Perform CPR immediately. Seek medical treatment

·Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water and give milk or egg white. Seek medical treatment
