Trichloroisocyanuric Acid is a disinfectant and anti-bacterial. It can also be used in the synthesis of napthols.
일반 설명
A white slightly hygroscopic crystalline powder or lump solid with a mild chlorine-like odor. Said to have 85 percent available chlorine. Decomposes at 225°C. Moderately toxic by ingestion. May irritate skin and eyes. Active ingredient in household dry bleaches. Used in swimming pools as a disinfectant .
공기와 물의 반응
Slightly hygroscopic [Hawley]. Slightly soluble in water. May react with water releasing gaseous chlorine. If mixed with a small amount of water, the concentrated solution (with pH at about 2.0) may explode due to the evolution of unstable nitrogen trichloride. (explanation in Bretherick 5th ed.)
반응 프로필
TRICHLORO-S-TRIAZINETRIONE, [DRY, CONTAINING > 39% AVAILABLE CHLORINE] may react vigorously with ammonium compounds or hydrated salts. Prolonged exposure to heat may result in the vigorous decomposition with the rupture of containers. Accelerates the burning of combustible materials [AAR 1991]. May reactwith alcohols to yield alkyl hypochlorites that decompose in the cold and explode on exposure to sunlight or heat. Hypochlorites of tertiary alcohols are less unstable than those of secondary or primary alcohols [NFPA 491 M. 1991].
건강위험
Inhalation causes sneezing and coughing. Contact with dust causes moderate irritation of eyes and itching and redness of skin. Ingestion causes burns of mouth and stomach.
Safety Profile
Moderately toxic to
humans and experimentally by ingestion.
Mildly toxic experimentally by skin contact.
Human systemic effects by ingestion:
ulceration or bleeding from stomach. A
severe skin and eye irritant. Toxicity
symptoms include emaciation, lethargy,
weakness, and delayed death. Autopsy
shows inflammation of gastrointestinal tract,
liver discoloration, and kidney hyperemia.
A powerful oxidizer. Forms an explosive
product with cyanuric acid + sodmm
hydroxide. Potentially violent reaction with
combustible materials. When heated to
decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of
Cland NOx. Used to chlorinate swimming
pools.
