Application Areas

Organic synthesis intermediates: commonly used for synthesizing other complex organic compounds, such as silane derivatives.
Chemical research: used to study the kinetics of ozone reaction and the reaction mechanism with reagents such as potassium iodide

Storage conditions

Temperature control: It is recommended to store in a low temperature environment of 2-8 ° C to avoid decomposition caused by high temperatures.
Stabilizer addition: Potassium carbonate (K ₂ CO ∝) needs to be added as a stabilizer to prevent decomposition.
Isolation measures: Keep away from oxidants, open flames, and heat sources, and store in a ventilated and dry place

Safety precautions

Toxicity protection: It belongs to the low toxicity category, but inhaling high concentration vapors may cause kidney damage. Self contained respirators should be worn during operation.
Leakage handling:
Minor leakage: Use sand or non combustible materials to adsorb and dispose of.
Large amount of leakage: build a dike to receive, and cover with foam to reduce vapor diffusion.
Fire fighting measures: use dry powder, carbon dioxide or foam to extinguish the fire and avoid splashing caused by direct water.
