Calcium sulfocyanide - Safety
Open Data Verified Data
packed with a dry plastic bucket or a plywood bucket lined with a polyethylene plastic bag. Net weight per barrel: 25kg, 40kg. Belonging to inorganic drugs. Risk code, GB6, Class 1, 61501. This product is easily deliquescent in the air and stored in a cool, dry place. Should pay attention to moisture, do not pressure, to prevent the lid and broken barrels. It is not allowed to be stored and mixed with acid and edible articles. Transport should be protected from rain and sun exposure. In case of fire, use water and sand to put out the fire. Toxicity and protection: chronic poisoning occurs when the thyroid injury. After oral administration will occur similar to schizophrenia, accompanied by disorientation, hallucinations and acute gastritis.

Calcium sulfocyanide - Reference Information
| Decomposition | 160 ºC |
| EPA chemical substance information | information provided by: ofmpeb.epa.gov (external link) |
| inorganic compound | calcium thiocyanate is an inorganic compound that can be used as a carrier for dyeing glass fibers with basic dyes, catalyst for photopolymerization of nitrile, scale prevention agent in suspension polymerization of polyvinyl chloride. The aqueous solution of calcium thiocyanate can be used as a solvent for cellulose, and the complex reaction with the crown ether substance can be used as an antistatic agent for organic materials. It can also be used in the production of sulfuric acid paper and textile industry. |
| thiocyanate | There are two isomers of thiocyanate, one is thiocyanate H-S-C ↑n, one is H-N-C = S. The free acid has not yet been isolated. Most thiocyanates are soluble in water. The SCN-ion is a good ligand. A particularly sensitive reaction of the SCN-ion is the formation of various red complexes with Fe3. Potassium thiocyanate or ammonium thiocyanate is therefore commonly used as a reagent for the detection of Fe 3. colorless volatile liquid, slightly toxic. Melting Point -110 ℃, more stable at 0 ℃, rapid decomposition at room temperature. Soluble in water, strong acidic aqueous solution. The hot solution or concentrated solution is easy to decompose and easy to polymerize. The white crystals were polymerized at -90 to -85 °c. Heat in a vacuum to form a light yellow diethyl ether-soluble thiocyanuric acid, which is easily re-decomposed into thiocyanic acid. Prepared by the interaction of potassium thiocyanate with potassium hydrogen sulfate or by passing an aqueous solution of ammonium thiocyanate through an H-type cation exchange resin. Reagents for the quantitative determination of iron and silver were tested in the laboratory for their salt action. |
