FIRST AID MEASURES If poisoning is suspected, immediately contact a physician, the nearest hospital, or the nearest Poison Control Center. Tell the person contacted the complete product name, and the type and amount of exposure. Describe any symptoms and follow the advice given. Ingestion: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. If the victim is fully conscious, immediately give a large amount of water to drink and get medical attention. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Product Name: Pramitol 5PS Pelleted Herbicide Page 1 Eye Contact: Immediately rinse eyes with large amount of running water. Hold eyelids apart to rinse the entire surface of the eyes and lids.

  • Physicochemical Properties of Sodium Metaborate
    ELECTROCHEMICAL RECYCLING OF SODIUM BOROHYDRTDE FOR HYDROGEN STORAGE: PHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF SODIUM METABORATE SOLUTIONS. by Caroline R. Cloutier B. A. Sc., The University of Ottawa, 1999 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF APPLIED SCIENCE m THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Materials Engineering) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA July 2006 © Caroline R. Cloutier, 2006 ABSTRACT The large-scale adoption of a "hydrogen economy" is hindered by the lack of a practical storage method and concerns associated with its safe handling. Chemical hydrides have the potential to address these concerns. Sodium borohydride (sodium tetrahydroborate, NaBH4), is the most attractive chemical hydride for H2 generation and storage in automotive fuel cell applications but recycling from sodium metaborate (NaB02) is difficult and costly. An electrochemical regeneration process could represent an economically feasible and environmentally friendly solution. In this thesis, the properties of diluted NaB02 aqueous solutions and concentrated NaB02 alkaline aqueous solutions that are necessary for the development of electrochemical recycling methods have been studied. The conductivity and viscosity of dilute aqueous solutions of NaB02 were measured as a function of concentration at 25°C. Also, the solubility, pH, density, conductivity and viscosity of the filtrate of saturated aqueous NaB02 solutions containing varying weight percentages (1, 2, 3, 5, 7.5 and 10 wt%) of alkali hydroxides (NaOH, KOH and LiOH) were evaluated at 25°C. Selected experiments were repeated at 50 and 75°C to investigate the effect of temperature on the NaB02 alkaline aqueous solution solubility and physicochemical properties. Preliminary experiments to investigate the effect of glycine (C2H5N02), the smallest amino acid, on the solubility and physicochemical properties of NaB02 alkaline aqueous solutions were conducted at 25°C.

Received: 24 October 2017; Accepted: 5 January 2018; Published: 6 January 2018 Abstract: NaBH4 hydrolysis can generate pure hydrogen on demand at room temperature, but suffers from the difficult regeneration for practical application. In this work, we overview the state-of-the-art progress on the regeneration of NaBH4 from anhydrous or hydrated NaBO2 that is a byproduct of NaBH4 hydrolysis. The anhydrous NaBO2 can be regenerated effectively by MgH2, whereas the production of MgH2 from Mg requires high temperature to overcome the sluggish hydrogenation kinetics. Compared to that of anhydrous NaBO2, using the direct hydrolysis byproduct of hydrated NaBO2 as the starting material for regeneration exhibits significant advantages, i.e., omission of the high-temperature drying process to produce anhydrous NaBO2 and the water included can react with chemicals like Mg or Mg2Si to provide hydrogen.

  • Sodium Chlorate Crops
    Sodium Chlorate Crops Identification Chemical Name(s): CAS Number: Sodium chlorate 7775-09-9 Other Names: Other Codes: soda chlorate; chlorate of soda; chloric acid, sodium salt; DOT number: UN 1495/ UN 2428 sodium chlorate, aqueous solution NAERG Code: 140 PC Code: 073301 Trade names: Chlorax; De-Fol-Ate, Drop-Leaf; Fall; Harvest-Aid; Tumbleaf Summary Recommendation Synthetic / Allowed or Suggested Non-Synthetic: Prohibited: Annotation: Synthetic Prohibit Characterization Composition: NaClO3. O Na– O--Cl O Sodium chlorate belongs to the class of inorganic herbicides (containing no carbon), and was developed before the modern era of organic herbicides such as 2-4-D, which began in the mid 1940s. Others in this category include aresenicals, borates, cyannates, and ammoniuim sulfamate and are still in use today (Klingman, Meister). Properties: Sodium chlorate is a white, odorless, crystalline solid that looks like common table salt (sodium chloride) and is water soluble. It is a strong oxidant, not combustible but reacts violently with combustible and reducing materials. There is a risk of fire and explosion in dry mixtures with other substances, especially organic materials, i.e., other herbicides, sulphur, peat, powdered metals, strong acids, etc. How Made: Sodium chlorate is rapidly produced in solution form by the electrolysis of sodium chloride brine in a diaphragm-less chlor-alkali cell (Kent, Kirk-Othmer). The overall reaction is : NaCl + 3 H2O + 6F (faradays) NaClO3 + 3H2 This process is currently efficient at the rate of over 90% and involves power consumption of 4500- 5800 kWh /metic ton of sodium chlorate produced. In 1990, total North American sodium chlorate capacity was 1.1 million tons/year, with most production in Canada because of lower energy costs.

Disodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate is hazardous under the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard based on animal chronic toxicity studies of similar inorganic borate chemicals. SECTION 3 - HAZARD IDENTIFICATION EMERGENCY OVERVIEW Disodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate is a white, odorless, powdered substance that is not flammable, combustible, or explosive, and it presents no unusual hazard if involved in a fire. Disodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate presents little or no hazard (to humans) and has low acute oral and even lower dermal toxicity. Care should be taken to minimize the amount of Disodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate released to the environment to avoid ecological effects. POTENTIAL ECOLOGICAL EFFECTS: Large amounts of Disodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate can be harmful to boron-sensitive plants and other ecological systems. POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS Routes of Exposure: Inhalation is the most significant route of exposure in occupational and other settings. Dermal exposure is not usually a concern because Disodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate is not absorbed through intact skin. Inhalation: Occasional mild irritation of nose and throat may occur from inhalation of Disodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate dusts at levels greater than 10 mg/m3.
