Chlorine is a toxic gas that invades the human body through the respiratory tract and dissolves in the water contained in the mucous membranes, generating hypochlorous acid and hydrochloric acid, causing damage to the upper respiratory tract mucosa: hypochlorous acid causes strong oxidation of tissues; hydrochloric acid stimulates the mucosa Inflammatory swelling occurs, causing the respiratory mucosa to swell, secreting a large amount of mucus, causing breathing difficulties, so the obvious symptom of chlorine poisoning is a severe cough. When the symptoms are severe, pulmonary edema can occur, making circulation difficult and causing death. Chlorine entering the body from the esophagus can cause nausea, vomiting, chest pain, and diarrhea. 1L of air can contain up to 0.001mg of chlorine. Exceeding this amount will cause human poisoning.
Application of chlorine gas in industry
Chlorine is used in the chemical industry to produce sodium hypochlorite, aluminum trichloride, ferric trichloride, bleaching powder, bromine, phosphorus trichloride and other inorganic chemical products. Monochlorobenzene and so on. It is also used in the production of neoprene, plastics and plasticizers. The daily chemical industry is used to produce synthetic detergent raw materials such as sodium alkylsulfonate and sodium alkylbenzenesulfonate.
Chlorine gas detection
Because chlorine gas is very harmful to the human body, the industrial production process needs to prevent the leakage of chlorine gas to avoid causing casualties. At present, a gas detector is used in industry to detect the chlorine concentration around the production link. When a certain concentration is reached, an alarm can be issued in time, and measures are taken in advance to ensure personnel safety.
Online gas detector uses imported intelligent gas sensors, which is an intelligent high-performance detection instrument that can continuously monitor chlorine gas online. The overall flameproof structure of the detector has high sensitivity and precision. The detector can realize real-time concentration display on the computer through the gas alarm controller and monitoring management software, and can also transmit the real-time monitoring data and alarm status to the security control center through the optional wireless module. Can be widely used in petroleum and petrochemical, metallurgy, environmental protection, gas, fire protection, municipal, chemical, marine, power, process control, sewage treatment, emergency rescue monitoring and other industries.
