Iron-free aluminum sulfate. Does anyone know how to use iron-free aluminum sulfate to be safe?
Iron-free aluminum sulfate is a polymer inorganic compound. Polymer chemicals have certain reactions and are also harmful to the human body. If not handled properly, major accidents may occur because the production volume of polymer chemicals is very large. A small amount of product reaction may not cause much or any harm, but when the quantity reaches a certain level, qualitative changes will occur, and explosions, toxic gas reactions, etc. will harm social property.
When factories produce or use iron-free aluminum sulfate, whether it is used as aluminum sulfate for water treatment or for papermaking, they must formulate certain regulations. This polymer compound is very harmful to the human body, especially the eyes, and can seriously cause blindness. If it is accidentally eaten, it will cause a chemical reaction in the gastrointestinal tract and stimulate the human digestive organs. A small amount of aluminum sulfate is not explosive, but it will volatilize when heated, producing toxic sulfide smoke; when burned, it will combine and decompose to produce organic compounds; if a fire breaks out, firefighters must wear full-body fireproof and anti-virus clothing and extinguish the fire in the upwind direction. When extinguishing a fire, move the container from the fire scene to an open area as much as possible. If leaked aluminum sulfate comes into contact with the human body, contaminated clothing should be taken off immediately and rinsed with running water; flush the eyes with running water or saline and seek medical attention immediately; the factory should prepare a supply of dust masks for emergency use in the event of an accident, and handlers should wear dust masks and respirator suits. Use a clean shovel to collect in dry, clean, covered containers, transfer to a safe place, and set up a dedicated emergency team to respond to emergencies.
