Beschreibung
Cyanide poisoning was first reported with the effects of extract
of bitter almonds; then cyanide was identified and isolated
from cherry laurel. Cyanogen chloride was first prepared in
1787 by the action of chlorine upon hydrocyanic acid (aka
prussic acid) and was called ‘oxidized prussic acid.’ The correct
formula for cyanogen chloride was first established in 1815.
Cyanogen chloride was used in World War I in 1916.
Chemische Eigenschaften
Cyanogen chloride is a colorless gas or liquid
(below 55℃
F/13℃
) with a pungent, irritating odor. Shipped
as a liquefied gas. A solid below—6℃
.
History
Cyanogen chloride (CK) is a very volatile compound, but is less a fire or explosive hazard than hydrogen cyanide and therefore logistically speaking less problematic. (Industry has found cyanogen chloride the preferred reactant in processes to make synthetic rubber). Reportedly, France combined hydrocyanic acid with cyanogen chloride in World War I ("manguinite"). The use of cyanogen chloride in this mixture was intended as an irritant to make soldiers remove their masks, exposing themselves to these very toxic gases. Cyanogen chloride was also combined with arsenic trichloride later on in the war. Like hydrocyanic acid, cyanogen chloride tends to spontaneously polymerize and therefore was combined with stabilizers (sodium pyrophosphate) for longer shelf life.
Verwenden
Cyanogen chloride is used in organic synthesis and as a military poisonous gas. Several benzene derivatives react with chloramine or with hypochlorous acid in the presence of ammonium ion to form cyanogen chloride (Maeda et al. 1987).
Vorbereitung Methode
Cyanogen chloride is produced by the action of chlorine on
moist sodium cyanide suspended in carbon tetrachloride
and kept cooled to -3°C, followed by distillation.
Allgemeine Beschreibung
A colorless gas or liquid with a strong acrid/pungent odor. Boils at 60°F. Liquid density 10.0 lb / gal. Shipped as a liquid confined under its own vapor pressure. A highly toxic lachrymator. Has been used as a tear gas. Vapor is heavier than air. Prolonged exposure of the container to fire or intense heat may cause violent rupturing and rocketing.
Air & Water Reaktionen
Soluble in water. Very slow reaction with water to form hydrogen cyanide.
Reaktivität anzeigen
CYANOGEN CHLORIDE may trimerize violently to form cyanuric chloride, catalyzed by hydrogen chloride or ammonium chloride. Reacts exothermically with alkenes and alkynes. Benzene and cyanogen halides yield HCl as a byproduct (Hagedorn, F. H. Gelbke, and Federal Republic of Germany. 2002. Nitriles. In Ullman Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.).
Hazard
Cyanogen chloride becomes volatile as temperatures increase, and the DOT lists it as a 2.3 poison gas. The NFPA 704 designation for CK is estimated to be health 4, flammability 0,reactivity 2, and special ?0. Cyanogen chloride vapors are highly toxic. It has a four-digit UN identification number of 1589 (inhibited). Treatment for either AC or CK poisoning is to follow the treatment protocols for airway, breathing, and circulation (ABCs) and administer oxygen to assist breathing. Instructions for administration and dosage should be based on local protocols and with the advice of a physician. Sodium nitrate is administered to produce methemoglobin, thus seizing the cyanide on the methemoglobin. The sodium thiosulfate combines with the confiscated cyanide to form thiocyanate, which is then excreted from the body.
Health Hazard
Cyanogen chloride is a highly poisonous compound and a severe irritant. In humans, exposure to 1 ppm for 10 minutes caused severe irritation of eyes and nose. Irritation of respiratory tract is followed by hemorrhage of the bronchi and trachea, as well as pulmonary edema.
The toxicity of cyanogen chloride is attributed to its relatively easy decomposition to cyanide ion in an aqueous medium. The cyanide attacks the cells in the body and interferes with the cellular metabolism. Tests on rats indicated that exposure to cyanogen chloride caused lacrimation and chronic pulmonary edema and somnolence. At a high concentration of 300 ppm, death occurred to the test animals. Inhalation of 48 ppm for 30 minutes was fatal to humans. In animals, subcutaneous intakes of 5 and 15 mg/kg were lethal to both dogs and rabbits.
Chronic exposure to cyanogen chloride can cause conjunctivitis and edema of the eyelid.
Brandgefahr
Not flammable. POISONOUS GASES ARE PRODUCED WHEN HEATED IN FIRE. Overheated containers can explode.
Sicherheitsprofil
Poison by ingestion,
subcutaneous, and possibly other routes.
Toxic by inhalation. Human systemic effects
by inhalation: lachrymation, conjunctiva
irritation, and chronic pulmonary edema or
congestion. A primary irritant. A severe
human eye irritant. An insecticide.
Flammable when exposed to heat or flame.
When heated to decomposition or on
contact with water or steam, it will react to
produce highly toxic and corrosive fumes of
Cl-, CN-, and NOx. See also other cyanogen
entries, CYANIDE, and CHLORIDES.
mögliche Exposition
Cyanaogen chloride is used as a fumi-
gant, metal cleaner; in ore refining; production of synthetic
rubber and in chemical synthesis. CK is used as a military
poison gas (blood agent). It forms cyanide in the body.
Environmental Fate
The primary effect of cyanide poisoning results from the inhibition
of the metal-containing enzymes, specifically, cytochrome
oxidase a3 (containing iron) within the mitochondria.
Cyanide poisons the mitochondrial electron transport chain
within cells and renders the body unable to derive energy (ATP)
from oxygen, therefore causing rapid death. Other mechanisms
include pulmonary arteriolar and/or coronary vasoconstriction
that results in cardiogenic shock and pulmonary edema.
Cyanide can also directly stimulate chemoreceptors in the aorta
and carotid artery, causing hyperpnea.

Inhalation Hazard Zone A. Cylinders must be transported
in a secure upright position, in a well-ventilated truck.
Protect cylinder and labels from physical damage. The
owner of the compressed gas cylinder is the only entity
allowed by federal law (49CFR) to transport and refill
them. It is a violation of transportation regulations to refill
compressed gas cylinders without the express written per-
mission of the owner. Military driver shall be given full
and complete information regarding shipment and condi-
tions in case of emergency. AR 50-6 deals specifically with
the shipment of chemical agents. Shipments of agent will
be escorted in accordance with AR 740-32.
Inkompatibilitäten
CK is incompatible with; or, may react
with most basic and acidic solvents. CK reacts slowly with water or water vapor forming toxic hydrogen cyanide and
hydrogen chloride. Cyanogen chloride may polymerize vio-
lently if contaminated with chlorine. CK is unstable; it may
be stabilized (i.e., inhibited) to prevent polymerization. In
crude form CK trimerizes violently if catalyzed by traces
of hydrogen chloride or ammonium chloride. Contact with
alcohols, acids, acid salts; amines, strong alkalis; olefins,
and strong oxidizers may cause fire and explosion. Heat
causes decomposition producing toxic and corrosive fumes
of hydrogen cyanide, hydrochloric acid, nitrogen oxides.
Reacts slowly with water or water vapor, forming hydrogen
chloride. Attacks copper, brass, and bronze in the presence
of moisture.
Waste disposal
Return refillable compressed
gas cylinders to supplier. React with strong calcium hypo-
chlorite solution for 24 hours, then flush to sewer with
large volumes of water.
