How to deal with the leakage of dangerous chemicals?

 

Emergency treatment measures

During the production, storage and use of chemicals, containers containing chemicals often have accidents such as accidental rupture and spillage, resulting in the leakage of hazardous chemicals. Whether chemical storage containers or reagent bottles used in laboratories, factory batteries, etc., will leak due to long-term use, or leak due to damage, or spill and splash during the process of sub-packaging, which will pollute the working environment, Impacts on cleaner production. If these chemical spills are not treated or prevented in time, they will pollute the water or soil, not only causing a bad impact on the environment, but also seriously endangering the safety of people's lives and property. Therefore, it is necessary to take simple and effective safety technical measures to eliminate or reduce the risk of leakage. The following describes the emergency measures that must be taken for chemical leakage.

·Evacuation and isolation

In case of any leakage in the process of chemical production, storage and use, first evacuate irrelevant personnel and isolate the contaminated area. If there is a large leakage of flammable and explosive chemicals, the fire alarm must be called at this time, and the fire protection professionals should be asked for rescue, and the scene should be protected and controlled.

·Cut off the ignition source

Cutting off the fire source is particularly important for the treatment of chemical leakage. If the leakage is flammable, all kinds of fire sources in the leakage pollution area must be eliminated immediately.

·Personal protection

The personnel involved in the leakage treatment should have a full understanding of the chemical properties and reaction characteristics of the leakage, and should handle it at high places and upwind places. It is strictly forbidden to act alone, and there should be a guardian. Use water gun (fog water) to cover if necessary. According to the nature of the leaked articles and the contact form of the poison, appropriate protective articles shall be selected to prevent casualties and poisoning accidents in the process of accident handling.

Respiratory system protection

In order to prevent toxic and harmful substances from entering the human body through the respiratory system, different protective devices should be selected according to different occasions. In case of high toxicity, high concentration and lack of oxygen, oxygen respirator, air respirator, air-supply long tube mask, etc. must be used.

Eye protection

In order to prevent eye injury, chemical safety goggles, safety masks, etc. can be used.

 

Body protection

In order to avoid skin damage, we can use masking tape anti-poison clothing, one-piece tape anti-poison clothing, rubber work clothes, anti-poison penetration work clothes, breathable anti-poison clothing, etc.

Hand protection

In order to protect hands from damage, rubber gloves, latex gloves, acid and alkali resistant gloves, chemical resistant gloves, etc. can be used.

·Disposal of leakage

In case of leakage during production and use, the leakage of chemicals shall be controlled by closing relevant valves, cutting off equipment and pipelines connected with them, stopping operation, or changing process flow under unified command.

If the window leaks, measures should be taken to block and repair the crack according to the actual situation to prevent further leakage.

In addition, it is necessary to prevent the leakage from spreading to the surrounding buildings, vehicles and people. In case the leakage cannot be controlled, it is necessary to deal with the leakage in time and monitor closely to prevent fire and explosion. Prevent secondary accidents. The following methods are mainly used for disposal of leakage on the ground:

If the chemical is liquid, it will spread everywhere when it is leaked to the ground, and it is difficult to collect and handle. For this reason, it is necessary to build a dike to block or drain to a safe place. For this reason, it is necessary to build a dike to block or drain to a safe place. In case of liquid leakage in the storage tank area, the rainwater valve shall be closed in time to prevent materials from flowing out along the open ditch.

For liquid leakage, in order to reduce the evaporation rate of materials into the atmosphere, foam or other covering materials can be used to cover the leaked materials and form a covering layer on their surface to inhibit their evaporation. Or use low temperature cooling to reduce the evaporation of leakage.

In order to reduce air pollution, water guns or fire hoses are usually used to spray misty water into the harmful vapor cloud to accelerate the gas diffusion to the high altitude and make it diffuse in the safety zone. When using this technology, a large amount of polluted water will be produced, so the sewage drainage system should be dredged. For combustible materials, a large amount of water vapor or nitrogen can also be released on site to destroy the combustion conditions.

For large liquid leakage, diaphragm pump can be used to pump the leaked material into the container or tanker; When the leakage is small, sand, adsorption materials, neutralization materials, etc. can be used to absorb and neutralize, or the leakage can be treated by solidification method.

In case of chemical leakage, the chemical Spill kit can also be used to deal with the leaked hazardous chemicals, and the chemical Spill kit is convenient to carry. It is fast and convenient to use, and the tools are complete. It can handle dangerous chemical spills safely and conveniently.

·How to use the
Chemical Spill Kit?

Chemical Spill Kit products are usually chemical absorbent cotton, chemical absorbent socks, chemical absorbent rolls, chemical absorbent pillow.

Chemical absorbent pad: suitable for small area of leakage treatment, can be directly put on the surface of the liquid. Leakage liquid will be quickly adsorbed, safe and convenient.

Chemical absorbent rool: suitable for indoor ground leakage treatment, leakage occurs when the operator can directly spread on the ground for adsorption. In addition, because the absorbent roll is tear self - fetching type, so when necessary can also replace the chemical absorbent pad operation.

Chemical absorbent boom: suitable for large area or multi-capacity leakage, can first use chemical suction socks to delineate the leakage range and gradually reduce the leakage range. According to the actual leakage area, choose the appropriate length of chemical absorbent boom, to ensure that the contacts at both ends of the cotton strip overlap, forming a strong barrier for leakage.

Chemical absorbent pillow: used alone or with chemical absorbent boom. When used, the operator can directly put the chemical absorbent pillow on the leaking liquid in a large area (or after the scope of the chemical absorbent boom has been delimited), and adsorb the leaking liquid directly and quickly.

● Chemical spill kit storage conditions?

Chemical spill kits should be stored in a dry and ventilated place, protected from moisture, rain and proximity to fire.

Chemical spill kits should not be stored in the same place as acids, bases, oils and organic solvents.

Chemical leakage kit is strictly prohibited to stack high and heavy weight when stored.

●Chemical Spill Kit applicable environment?

Industrial manufacturing.

Automotive manufacturing and maintenance, especially in truck loading or forklift driving industries.

Transport and logistics.

Home applications.
