Mineral- and Clay-Based Absorbents

Examples of Mineral-Based and Clay-Based Absorbents include Budget Dry庐 (ground clay), kitty litter, Safe-T-Sorb庐 (ground clay), Vermiculite (composition varies with source), and Zorball庐. The following categories of chemicals have been known to react (that is, are incompatibleSubstances that react together, if mixed.) with Mineral-Based and Clay-Based Absorbents:

Category: Amines and Other Bases

• Reason for Concern:听These chemicals may exhibit high heats of absorption. The degree of hazard is highly dependent on the individual combination of materials. Test to determine compatibility.
• Examples:听Diethylamine; Ethanolamine; Pyridine; Tripropylamine
• Reactive Groups:听Amines, Phosphines, and Pyridines; Bases, Strong

Category: Epoxide Monomers

• Reason for Concern:听MonomersOne of the molecules that link together to make a polymer. For example, the monomer of natural rubber is isoprene. Monomers may be naturally occurring or synthetic.听with an ethylene oxide/oxirane functionality may react with the active sites in the absorbent, catalyzing an exothermicA chemical reaction that generates heat. Opposite of endothermic, in which heat is taken in from the surroundings. epoxide ring opening.
• Examples:听Ethylene oxide (EO); Propylene oxide (PO)
• Reactive Groups:听Epoxides

Category: Hydrofluoric Acid

• Reason for Concern:听Hydrofluoric acid may react exothermically with the silicate structure in these absorbents. Aqueous solutions of other inorganicCompounds that do not contain the element carbon, as well as the following carbon-containing compounds: the carbon oxides, the carbides, carbon disulfide, phosgene, cyanides of metals, and carbonyl sulfide. fluorides could also contain hydrofluoric acid, and so would react similarly with Clay-Based Absorbents.
• Examples:听Hydrofluoric acid; Ammonium bifluoride solution; Sodium fluorosilicate solution; Boron trifluoride diethyl etherate
• Reactive Groups:听Fluoride Salts, Soluble

Category: Styrenic Monomers

• Reason for Concern:听Absorbent may catalyzeTo act as a catalyst--that is, to speed up a chemical reaction between other substances without itself being chemically changed or consumed. exothermic, uncontrolled polymerizationChemical reaction in which small molecules join to form larger molecules; polymerization reactions typically release heat, and can cause containers to overpressurize. leading to a thermal runaway, which could result in a fire or explosionA chemical or physical process in which the rate at which energy is being generated exceeds its ability to escape to its surrounding environment. The hazards of an explosion can include a shock wave (especially near the point of explosion) and projectiles generated by the shock wave..
• Examples:听Styrene; Divinylbenzene (DVB); Vinylbenzyl chloride (VBC)
• Reactive Groups:听Polymerizable Compounds

Category: Water-Reactive 365bet娱乐

• Reason for Concern:听Clay-Based Absorbents听often contains moisture, which could pose a hazard if they are used to clean up water-reactiveCan react vigorously when mixed with water or steam or when spilled into water; the reaction may generate hazardous gas or overpressurize a container. chemicals. Many water-reactive chemicals release toxicPoisonous; can injure or kill people or other organisms. or corrosiveLiquid or solid that can destroy human skin or lung tissue or corrode metals. gases and generate heat when they come into contact with even small amounts of water.
• Examples:听Methyl isocyanate; Acetyl chloride; Acetic anhydride; Phenyltrichlorosilane
• Reactive Groups:听Acid Halides, Sulfonyl Halides, and Chloroformates; Anhydrides; Chlorosilanes; Halogenating Agents; Isocyanates and Isothiocyanates; Thiocarbamate Esters and Salts/Dithiocarbamate Esters and Salts
