10 PAMPHLET 1 2.5.10 Container In this publication, a container is a pressure vessel authorized by an applicable regulatory body for the transport of chlorine. It does not include pipelines or stationary storage tanks. 2.5.11 Filling Density By DOT and TC regulation, the weight of chlorine that is loaded into a container may not exceed 125% of the weight of water at 60°F (15.6°C) that the container will hold. 2.5.12 Sodium Hydroxide Normally sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is the co-product produced as a solution when chlorine is generated through the electrolytic decomposition of sodium chloride solution. Sodium hydroxide is frequently referred to as caustic soda or lye. 2.5.13 Potassium Hydroxide A co-product produced as a solution when chlorine is generated through the electrolytic decomposition of potassium chloride salt solution. Potassium hydroxide (KOH) is frequently referred to as caustic potash. 2.6 SPECIFIC MANUFACTURING AND USE HAZARDS Refer to your supplier’s Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and referenced CI pamphlets for additional safety and handling precautions. 2.6.1 Hydrogen Hydrogen (H2) is a co-product of all chlorine manufactured by the electrolysis of aqueous brine solutions. Within a known concentration range, mixtures of chlorine and hydrogen are flammable and potentially explosive. The reaction of chlorine and hydrogen can be initiated by direct sunlight, other sources of ultraviolet light, static electricity, or sharp impact. See CI Pamphlet 121 (11.1). 2.6.2 Nitrogen Trichloride Small quantities of nitrogen trichloride (NCl3), an unstable and highly explosive compound, can be produced in the manufacture of chlorine. When liquid chlorine containing nitrogen trichloride is evaporated, the nitrogen trichloride may concentrate to hazardous concentrations in the residue (see CI Pamphlets 21 and 152 (11.1)). 2.6.3 Oils and Grease Chlorine can react, at times explosively, with a number of organic materials such as oil and grease from sources such as air compressors, valves, pumps, oil-diaphragm instrumentation, pipe thread lubricants. Equipment and piping must be cleaned prior to use to remove any oils. See CI Pamphlet 6 (11.1). Ensure that non-reactive lubricants are used in chlorine service (e.g. Fluorolube® and Krytox®).PDF Image | Chlorine Basics 8
