Toxicity
Strong oxidation and combustible contact can cause violent combustion and strong corrosion. The highly toxic and corrosive chlorine and bromine fumes are liberated at 10 ℃. Reacts with water to emit toxic and corrosive smoke. It is highly irritating and corrosive to skin, eyes and mucous membranes.
Patients who suck steam should be removed from the contaminated area, placed to rest and keep warm. In severe cases, seek medical treatment and oxygen. If breathing stops, artificial respiration must be performed. Eye irritation, skin contact with a lot of water rinse, rushed to the hospital for treatment.
production method
The synthesis method adds bromine to the reactor, and introduces chlorine under stirring to react, so that the reactants enter the dry ice-cooled trap, and the prepared bromine chloride can be stored in the platinum trap after distillation. Or in a fully dried steel cylinder. Its
Br2 C12→2BrCl
