Sodium bromide is a white crystal or powder, belonging to photosensitive materials, pharmaceuticals, and chemical intermediates. It has the characteristics of easy moisture absorption, solubility in water, and light stability, but needs to be moisture-proof. During storage and preservation, it is necessary to strictly follow the requirements of chemical safety management, and pay attention to the following matters:
1. Environmental control
It should be stored in a cool, dry, and well ventilated dedicated warehouse. The ambient temperature should be controlled within the normal temperature range, and the relative humidity should not exceed 75% to prevent the product from clumping and deliquescence due to moisture absorption, ensuring stable chemical properties.
2. Moisture proof sealing
The packaging must be completely sealed, tight and leak free, and it is strictly prohibited to store it damaged or open. Avoid direct contact with humid air, water vapor, spray water, etc., to prevent the product from absorbing moisture and melting, affecting purity and performance.
3. Avoid light and sun protection
Although sodium bromide itself has good photostability, it is still recommended to avoid direct sunlight and high temperature exposure, stay away from heat sources, heaters, and open flame areas, and prevent local overheating from causing packaging aging and material deterioration.
4. Isolation and storage
It should be stored separately from strong oxidants, strong acid substances, food and feed, flammable and explosive materials, and mixed storage and transportation are strictly prohibited to prevent chemical reactions, pollution, or safety hazards. Clear isolation signs should be set up in the warehouse to achieve zoning and classification management.
5. Warehouse management
Keep the warehouse floor clean and dry, equipped with corresponding moisture-proof and ventilation facilities. Establish an inventory ledger, follow the first in, first out principle, regularly check the integrity of packaging and the appearance of materials, and promptly handle any abnormalities found.
6. Protection and Emergency Response
The storage area should be equipped with corresponding personal protective equipment, and operators should wear gloves and masks when in contact. At the same time, appropriate emergency response equipment should be prepared, such as leak cleaning tools, dry adsorption materials, etc., to deal with unexpected leak situations.
7. Transportation and turnover
During transportation, prevent rain, moisture, and severe impact to avoid packaging damage. Light loading and unloading, avoiding throwing, rolling, and ensuring the safety of materials and storage and transportation.
