МЕТИЛХЛОРИД химические свойства, назначение, производство
Описание
Methyl chloride is a colorless, flammable gas
with a faintly sweet, nonirritating odor at room
temperature. It is shipped as a transparent liquid
under its vapor pressure of about 59 psig at
70°F (407 kPa at 21.1℃).
Methyl chloride burns feebly in air, but forms
mixtures with air that can be explosive within its
flammability range.
Dry methyl chloride is very stable at normal
temperatures and in contact with air. In the
presence of moisture, it hydrolyzes slowly,
which results in the formation of corrosive hydrochloric
acid. At temperatures above 700°F
(371℃), methyl chloride may decompose into
toxic end-products (hydrochloric acid, phosgene,
chlorine, and carbon monoxide). It is
slightly soluble in water and very soluble in
alcohol, mineral oils, chloroform, and most organic
liquids.

Also known as chloromethane.

Определение
ChEBI: A one-carbon compound that is methane in which one of the hydrogens is replaced by a chloro group.
Общее описание
A colorless gas with a faint sweet odor. Shipped as a liquid under its vapor pressure. A leak may either be liquid or vapor. Contact with the liquid may cause frostbite by evaporative cooling. Easily ignited. Vapors heavier than air. Can asphyxiate by the displacement of air. Under prolonged exposure to fire or intense heat the containers may rupture violently and rocket. Used to make other chemicals and as a herbicide.
Реакции воздуха и воды
Highly flammable.
Профиль реактивности
METHYL CHLORIDE can react vigorously with oxidizing agents. May react explosively with sodium, potassium, sodium-potassium alloy, magnesium, zinc. Reacts with aluminum powder in the presence of catalytic amounts of aluminum chloride to form pyrophoric trimethylaluminum. When heated to decomposition, METHYL CHLORIDE emits highly toxic fumes of chlorine [Bretherick, 5th ed., 1995, p. 176].
Опасность
Flammable, dangerous fire risk, explosive
limits in air 10.7–17%. Narcotic. Psychic effects.
Central nervous system impairment; liver, kidney and testicular damage, and teratogenic effects.
Questionable carcinogen.
Угроза здоровью
Inhalation of methyl chloride can produceheadache, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea,vomiting, convulsions, coma, and respiratoryfailure. It is narcotic at high concentrations.Repeated exposures can produce liver and Methyl chloride caused adverse reproduc tive effects in test animals. These includeembryo toxicity, fetal death, developmentalabnormalities, and paternal effects in rats andmice. It tested positive to the histidine rever sion–Ames test for mutagenicity. The car cinogenic properties of this compound havenot been established. The evidence in ani mals and humans is inadequate.
Пожароопасность
Flammable gas, burns with a smoky flame;
autoignition temperature 632°C (1170°F).
Methyl chloride forms explosive mixtures
with air within the range 7.6–19.0% by
volume in air. It reacts explosively with
alkali metals, potassium, sodium, or lithium;
sodium–potassium alloy; and with magnesium, aluminum, or zinc in powder form.
Использование в материалах
Dry methyl chloride may be contained in such
common metals as steel, iron, copper, and
bronze, but it has a corrosive action on zinc,
aluminum, die castings, and possibly magnesium
alloys. Methyl chloride must not be used
with aluminum, since in the presence of moisture
it forms spontaneously flammable methyl
aluminum compounds upon contact with that
metal. No reaction occurs, however, with the
drying agent, activated alumina.
Gaskets made of natural rubber and many
neoprene compositions should be avoided because
methyl chloride dissolves many organic
materials. Pressed fiber gaskets, including those
made of asbestos may be used with methyl chloride.
Polyvinyl alcohol is unaffected by methyl
chloride, and its use is also recommended. Medium-
soft metal gaskets may be used for applications
where alternating stresses such as those resulting from large temperature changes do not
lead to "ironing out" and consequent leakage.
Возможный контакт
Methyl chloride is used as a methylating and chlorinating agent in organic chemistry; Used in
production of silicones and tetramethyl lead. In petroleum
refineries it is used as an extractant for greases, oils, and
resins. Methyl chloride is also used as a solvent in the synthetic rubber industry; as a refrigerant; and as a propellant
in polystyrene foam production. In the past it has been used
as a local anesthetic (freezing). It is an intermediate in drug
manufacture.
Канцерогенность
Methyl chloride was mutagenic to bacteria
and genotoxic in a number of mammalian cell
systems in vitro.14 It gave positive results in the
dominant lethal test in rats in vivo.
NIOSH recommends that methyl chloride
be considered a potential occupational teratogen
and carcinogen.
The IARC states that there is inadequate
evidence for the carcinogenicity of methyl
chloride to experimental animals and humans.
Экологическая судьба
Biological. Enzymatic degradation of methyl chloride yielded formaldehyde (Vogel et al.,
1987).
Photolytic. Reported photooxidation products via OH radicals include formyl chloride, carbon
monoxide, hydrogen chloride, and phosgene (Spence et al., 1976). In the presence of water, formyl
chloride hydrolyzes to HCl and carbon monoxide, whereas phosgene hydrolyzes to hydrogen
chloride and carbon monoxide (Morrison and Boyd, 1971).
Methyl chloride reacts with OH radicals in the atmosphere at a rate of 8.5 x 10-14 cm3/sec with a
lifetime of 135 d (Cox et al., 1976).
Chemical/Physical. The estimated hydrolysis half-life at 25 °C and pH 7 is 0.93 yr (Mabey and
Mill, 1978).
The evaporation half-life of methyl chloride (1 mg/L) from water at 25 °C using a shallow-pitch
propeller stirrer at 200 rpm at an average depth of 6.5 cm was 27.6 min (Dilling, 1977).
хранилище
All personnel handling methyl chloride cylinders
should be fully informed about the dangers
that can arise from improper handling of methyl
chloride. The cylinder and system should be
grounded before use. Before introducing methyl
chloride into any apparatus or equipment, it
should be tested for leaks, all leaks repaired,
and the apparatus thoroughly dried. Only
nonsparking tools should be used with methyl
chloride. Chemical safety goggles and/or a
full-face shield should be used when handling
liquid methyl chloride.
