Perchlorobenzene is used in the field of industry and has many uses. First, it can be used as a dye intermediate. The dye is related to the color of the clothing of the people. In the past, the dyeing method relied on natural things, but the color was fresh and long-lasting. Perchlorobenzene is a dye intermediate, which can make the color of the dye more bright and can last for a long time. According to the chemical method, the craftsman uses perchlorobenzene as the basis and combines various agents to make colorful dyes for weaving and dyeing needs, so that the color of the clothes is dazzling.
Second, it is also very useful in the production of pesticides. Farmers are the major capital of the country. The damage of insects and insects often destroys crops and causes the lack of food for the people. Perchlorobenzene can be used in the formula of pesticides, and its properties can kill insects and deworms, and protect crops in farmland. In the past, farmers controlled insects and relied on manpower to catch them, or used grass, wood ash, lime and other substances, with limited efficacy. Today, pesticides containing high chlorobenzene are sprinkled in the fields, and insects escape far away. The crops are lush, and people have no worries about food.
Third, it also has its merits in the pharmaceutical and chemical industry. Medicine saves people's diseases and affects human lives. Perchlorobenzene can be used as a raw material for pharmaceuticals through exquisite chemical transformation. Doctors make all kinds of good medicines to treat people's diseases. Perchlorobenzene has laid the foundation for the development of medicine, so that patients can be cured and healthy.
Fourth, in the field of organic synthesis, perchlorobenzene is also an important cornerstone. Organic synthesis is the art of creating new substances. With perchlorobenzene as the starting material, chemists use their wisdom and apply exquisite methods to synthesize all kinds of novel organic compounds. These compounds, or with special physical and chemical properties, have made extraordinary contributions to industry, scientific research, life and many other aspects.
Hexachlorobenzene is a white needle-like or powdery crystal. Looking at its color, it is as white as snow, and its shape is regular and uniform. Under normal temperature and pressure, its properties are quite stable.
On its melting point, it is about 230.5 ° C, just like a limit. At this temperature, the solid hexachlorobenzene begins to melt into a liquid state. The boiling point can reach 323.5 ° C. When the temperature rises to that value, hexachlorobenzene melts into a gaseous state and rises.
The density of hexachlorobenzene is greater than that of water. It is placed in water and sinks to the bottom of the water. And it is difficult to dissolve in water, as if it is distinct from water and does not blend. However, in organic solvents, it has good solubility, such as benzene, ether, chloroform and other organic solvents, which can be soluble with it, just like water emulsion.
Its vapor pressure is very small, and under normal circumstances, the volatilization rate is slow. Hexachlorobenzene has a certain odor, although it is not pungent and intolerable, it is also clearly identifiable. Its stable appearance and solubility are used in many fields, so it is very important to understand its physical properties.
Today there is a name perchlorobenzene, which is stable and difficult to decompose. In the environment, if this substance is released, it is very harmful. Because it is difficult to degrade, it can exist between water, soil and air for a long time. In the soil, it can hinder the reproduction of organisms in the soil, damage the structure of the soil, make its fertility gradually lost, and the industry of agriculture and planting is trapped.
In water bodies, perchlorobenzene can be distributed with water, causing water quality to deteriorate, and aquatic creatures, such as fish, shrimp, shellfish, and algae, may be poisoned and die, or cause reproduction aberration. And this substance is easy to adhere to the surface and body of aquatic organisms, accumulating layer by layer along the food chain, and eventually harming humans.
In the atmosphere, perchlorobenzene can migrate with the air and diffuse in all directions. If people absorb it, it will damage the internal organs and cause diseases. And it may phase with other substances in the atmosphere, causing the danger of climate variation.
It can be seen that perchlorobenzene is in the environment. If it is harmful to tumors, it will break the ecological balance and damage the safety of all things. It should be guarded against it, and it should not be allowed to run amok between heaven and earth.
Although there is no such system in ancient methods, there are two methods today. One is the chlorination method of benzene. In the reaction kettle, benzene and catalyst are added, and chlorine gas is passed through. Using iron or ferric chloride as catalyst, chlorine gas reacts with benzene. The hydrogen atom in benzene is gradually replaced by chlorine atoms. After polychlorination, hexachlorobenzene is finally obtained. During the reaction, the temperature, chlorine flow rate and reaction time must be strictly controlled. If the temperature is too low, the reaction will be slow; if it is too high, the side reactions will increase. And because chlorine gas is highly toxic, the operation must be carried out in a well-ventilated and safe environment
The second is obtained from the conversion of other chlorine-containing organic compounds. For example, sodium pentachlorophenol is used as a raw material, through the process of acidification, decarboxylation and chlorination. First, sodium pentachlorophenol is acidified to obtain pentachlorophenol, and then decarboxylation and chlorination under specific conditions to obtain hexachlorobenzene. This process also requires precise control of the reaction conditions to ensure that the reaction proceeds smoothly in the direction of generating hexachlorobenzene, and attention is paid to the separation and purification of the products in each step to obtain high-purity hexachlorobenzene. Although the method is not contained in ancient books, today's chemical
First, protection must be comprehensive. Hexachlorobenzene is harmful to the human body, or can be invaded through the respiratory tract, skin and digestive tract. When using, wear professional protective equipment, such as gas masks, protective clothing and protective gloves, to prevent contact with it. And the operation should be carried out in a well-ventilated place, or equipped with special ventilation equipment to reduce the concentration of hexachlorobenzene in the air and avoid inhalation hazards.
Second, properly dispose of and store. HCB should be stored in a cool, dry and ventilated place, away from fire and heat sources. It must be stored separately from oxidants, food chemicals, etc., and should not be mixed to prevent dangerous reactions. At the same time, the storage area should be equipped with suitable containment materials to deal with leaks and other emergencies.
Third, strictly control the use specifications. During use, the established operating procedures and dosage standards must be followed and cannot be changed without authorization. Avoid hexachlorobenzene from entering the water, soil and other environments to prevent pollution. If a leak occurs accidentally, emergency measures should be initiated immediately, relevant personnel should be evacuated, and the leakage area should be isolated. In the case of a small amount of leakage, it can be absorbed by inert materials such as sand and vermiculite; in the case of a large amount of leakage, it is necessary to build a dike or dig a pit for containment, and transfer it to a special collector with a pump, recycle it or transport it to a designated treatment site for harmless treatment.
Fourth, pay attention to environmental impact. Hexachlorobenzene is chemically stable, difficult to degrade in the environment, or will remain for a long time, posing a potential threat to the ecological environment. After use, its waste must be properly disposed of and must not be discarded at will to reduce the harm to the environment.
In short, the use of perchlorobenzene, protection, storage, use specifications and environmental impact must be treated with caution, and must not be taken lightly to ensure safety and the environment.
