| Inhalation | Cough. Sore throat. | Use local exhaust or breathing protection. | Fresh air, rest. |
| Skin | Redness. Burning sensation. Itching. | Protective gloves. | Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. |
| Eyes | Redness. Pain. | Wear safety goggles. | First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention. |
| Ingestion | Abdominal pain. Nausea. Vomiting. | Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Wash hands before eating. | Rinse mouth. Induce vomiting (ONLY IN CONSCIOUS PERSONS!). Refer for medical attention . |
| The raw material sodium nitrite, catalyst and water were stirred to dissolve, and the raw material dimethyl sulfate was dripped under the stirring to carry out the reaction; Post-treatment is to filter the reaction liquid under agitation, solid-liquid two-phase separation, liquid phase decompressed distillation to obtain nitromethane crude, after distillation to obtain nitromethane finished products, in the drop of raw material dimethyl sulfate before adding solvent and phase transfer catalyst, the solvent boiling point is lower than 100℃, the solvent is used to control the reaction temperature of 20℃~60℃ |
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is Nitromethane?
A: Pure Nitromethane is an organic compound, a colorless oily liquid, slightly soluble in water, soluble in ethanol, ether and dimethylformamide. It can play an effective role in many fields. It can be used to synthesize pesticides such as chloropicrin and nitroalcohol, and can also be used to produce explosives, rocket fuel, medicine, dyes, insecticides and gasoline additives, etc., and can also be used as an organic solvent.
Q: What is Nitromethane used for?
A: In adhesives, it is mainly used as a solvent polarity. It can be miscible with many organic compounds and can dissolve cellulose derivatives, resins, dyes, oils, etc., especially for nitrocellulose, cellulose acetate, polyacrylonitrile, polyacrylonitrile, etc. Esters, waxes, etc. have good solubility. It can also be used as aerosol propellant, rocket fuel and to make explosives, dyes, etc.
Q: The emergency measures?
Inhalation: If inhaled, remove victim to fresh air.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, wash skin thoroughly and immediately with soapsuds and water. seek medical advice if you feel unwell.
Eye Contact: Lift the eyelids and rinse with running water or normal saline. Seek medical advice immediately.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth and seek medical attention immediately. Move the victim to a safe place and consult a physician for details.
Q: How do you store Nitromethane?
A: Keep it in a cool, ventilated warehouse. It should be stored separately from oxidizing agents, reducing agents, acids, alkalis, etc., and should not be mixed storage. Keep container tightly closed. And keep them away from fire and heat sources. Explosion-proof lighting and ventilation are should be adopted. Prohibit the use of equipment and tools prone to sparks. The leakage emergency treatment equipment and suitable containment materials should be equipped in the storage area.
