What is Triethylaluminum?
Triethylaluminum has special physical and chemical properties: Triethylaluminum is a colorless liquid with active chemical properties, violent oxidation reaction, spontaneous combustion in the air, and explosive decomposition in water. Aluminum hydroxide and ethane react violently with acids, halogens, and alcohol amines, causing burns to the human body.
Extinguishing media used in fire fighting: dry sand, dry powder; water, foam and carbon tetrachloride are prohibited. Precautions for storage and transportation: Storage and transportation must be in a specific container filled with inert gas or nitrogen (the nitrogen content and water content in the container are not more than 20mL/m3). Keep away from fire and heat sources. The warehouse temperature should not exceed 30℃, and the relative humidity should be below 75%. Separated from halogens, alcohols, acids and amines. Do not store and transport with oxidants. When handling, lightly load and unload, do not hit or damage the package.
Triethylaluminum is precisely because of the dangerous characteristics of triethyl aluminum: high chemical reactivity, smoke and spontaneous combustion in contact with air, strong decomposition and combustion in case of open fire and high heat; strong reaction with oxidants; strong decomposition in contact with water, releasing flammable The alkane gas is sensitive to moisture and trace oxidation, and it is easy to cause explosion. Therefore, there are special requirements for the safe use of triethyl aluminum in the manufacture, transportation, storage, use, and disposal of various links and fire fighting.
Triethylaluminum Uses
Triethylaluminum is an organometallic compound (ie: a compound in which a metal and an organic group are directly bonded to a metal and carbon).
Metalorganic compounds are used as reagents or catalysts in synthetic organic chemistry. In addition, it is also widely used in plastic additives, anti-vibration agents, fungicides, etc. Metal organic compounds are also used as catalysts in fine organic chemicals such as pharmaceutical industry and perfume industry. In the polyolefin process equipment of petrochemical industry, triethylaluminum is widely used due to the need to prepare polyolefin reaction catalyst. In addition, it is also used in the preparation of rocket fuel.
At present, triethylaluminum is the most widely used organic synthesis in the chemical industry, such as the activator of polypropylene plastics and other products. Due to different uses, its purity is also different. Larger domestic chemical companies use triethylaluminum , with storage tanks and devices for triethyl aluminum.
Triethylaluminum is usually stored under the protection of nitrogen double tanks. During production and use, nitrogen is used to pressurize and transport it to the process equipment. The pressure is generally not more than 0.2 MPa. When the production stops, it will return to a no-pressure state. It has good sealing performance, and once it leaks, a fire will occur. Due to the poor effectiveness of traditional fire extinguishing equipment in dealing with triethyl aluminum fires, chemical companies have been worried about the fire safety of such first-level spontaneous combustion fires.
- Weapons: Before the 1970s, the US military was equipped with liquid column flamethrower. After 1969, the United States has had the intention to use the rocket combustion method to replace the traditional liquid-column fire-breathing method. In the early 1970s, the United States began to transform the XM191 multi-shot portable flamethrower to develop flame weapons. The weapon has been used from drawing design, field experiments, small batch production and battlefield evaluation. It took less than 3 years in total. It was finalized as an M202 flame weapon in the mid-1970s and began to be used by the US Army and Marine Corps. It is now equipped with a slightly improved M202A2 type. The M202 incendiary rocket launcher is composed of a rocket launch tube and a rocket clip. It uses a self-ignitable incendiary triethyl aluminum as fuel and is powered by an M54 rocket engine.
- Ammunition: The length of the incendiary rocket is 535mm, the warhead is filled with 600g of thickened triethyl aluminum incendiary agent, equipped with a mechanical trigger fuze, and the projectile is driven by an M54 rocket engine. Using this kind of burning agent, it will spontaneously ignite in the presence of air, and it will explode in the presence of water. This not only saves the ignition mechanism, but also increases the difficulty of extinguishing the fire. Even if it is temporarily covered with sand, it will still burn when exposed to air. It also has a certain adhesiveness, which is not easy to remove, and is suitable for combat requirements.
- Incendiary bombs: aviation bombs, artillery shells, rockets, grenades and grenades with incendiary agents, also known as arson bombs, are mainly used to burn living forces and burn flammable military technical equipment and equipment. It usually consists of projectiles, incendiary agents, explosives or propellants, detonators, fuzes, etc. The burning agent is mostly thermite, yellow phosphorus, napalm, thickened triethyl aluminum and thickened gasoline, etc., which are used to generate high temperature flame and damage the target; Throw to target. In the modern battlefield, incendiary aviation bombs are more commonly used, and mixed incendiary aviation bombs and napalm aviation bombs are commonly used. The former is equipped with thickened triethyl aluminum, the bomb body is small, and the bomb weight is about 10 to 50 kg; the latter is equipped with napalm and yellow phosphorus, and the bomb weight can reach 500 kg. The types of modern incendiary bombs are increasing day by day, and the heat generated by the incendiary and the burning time and other properties are constantly improving. Thickened triethyl aluminum is one of the main raw materials.
