DICHLOROMETHANE,[14C] - Introduction
Dichloromethane is an organic compound with the chemical formula CH2Cl2. It is a colorless and transparent liquid with a pungent and stimulating smell at room temperature. The following is a description of the properties, uses, preparation and safety information of methylene chloride [14C]:
Nature:
-Dichloromethane is a hydrophobic organic compound with a lower boiling point and melting point, and can be evaporated at room temperature.
-It is a polar solvent that can dissolve many organic compounds, such as fats, resins, oils and certain gases.
-It is a flammable liquid and may cause a fire when it comes into contact with a fire source or a high heat source in the air.
Use:
-Dichloromethane is widely used as an industrial solvent and is often used as an extractant and reactant in chemical laboratories.
-It can be used as a solvent to prepare organic compounds such as pharmaceuticals, dyes, synthetic fibers and plastics.
-Due to its lower boiling point and melting point, dichloromethane is used as a refrigerant in the metal processing and electronics industries.
Preparation Method:
-Dichloromethane can be prepared by reacting methane with chlorine. The reaction is usually carried out in the presence of light and a catalyst.
-The preparation method also includes the chlorination of methanol and the chlorination of formaldehyde.
Safety Information:
-Methylene chloride is moderately toxic to humans. Exposure or inhalation of methylene chloride vapor may cause dizziness, nausea, and vomiting.
-Long-term exposure to high concentrations of methylene chloride vapor may cause damage to the liver, kidneys, and central nervous system.
-Dichloromethane is a volatile solvent, use should pay attention to ventilation and avoid operating in a closed environment.
-It also has certain harm to the environment, and its release into the soil or water body may affect the ecosystem.
