사에틸납 속성

사에틸납 C화학적 특성, 용도, 생산

화학적 성질

colourless to yellow liquid

물리적 성질

Colorless liquid; burns with orange flame with green margin; refractive index 1.5198; density 1.653 g/mL at 20°C; insoluble in water; slightly soluble in ethanol; soluble in benzene, toluene, gasoline, and petroleum ether.

용도

Tetraethyllead is used as an additive to gasolineto prevent knocking in motors. However,because of its high toxicity and the pollutionproblem, its use in gasoline has been drasticallycurtailed.

생산 방법

These compounds were, at one time, the major industrial use of lead and source of environmental pollution of inorganic lead combustion products. However, the addition of these compounds to gasoline in the major industrialized countries of the world has been discontinued because of the use of catalysts for the control of the amount of nitrogen oxides in automobile exhaust. Organolead additives are still being phased out in many underdeveloped countries, although the United Nations has called for a global phaseout of lead in gasoline.

정의

ChEBI: An organolead compound consisting of four ethyl groups joined to a central lead atom.

제조 방법

Lead tetraethyl is prepared by heating ethyl chloride in the presence of a catalyst in an autoclave at 40 to 60°C with an alloy of lead and sodium:
Pb + 4Na + 4C₂H₅Cl → Pb(C₂H₅)₄ + 4NaCl
Also, it can be prepared by the reaction of lead with ethylene and hydrogen in the presence of Ziegler catalyst, triethylaluminum:
Pb + 4C₂H₄ + 2H₂ → Pb(C₂H₅)₄

일반 설명

A colorless liquid with a characteristic odor. Flash point 200°F. Density 14 lb / gal. Insoluble in water. Toxic by inhalation and by skin absorption.

공기와 물의 반응

Insoluble in water.

반응 프로필

TETRAETHYL LEAD decomposes under UV light. Reacts with fats; reacts violently with oxidizing agents, causing fire and explosion hazards. Attacks rubber [Handling Chemicals Safely 1980. p. 890].

위험도

Toxic by ingestion, inhalation, and skin absorption. Central nervous system impairment. Questionable carcinogen.

건강위험

Extremely poisonous; may be fatal if inhaled, swallowed, or absorbed from the skin. Contact may cause burns to skin and eyes. Most symptoms of poisoning are due to the effects of tetraethyllead on the nervous system.

화재위험

May explode in fires. Decomposes slowly at room temperature and more rapidly at elevated temperatures.

Safety Profile

Human poison by an unspecified route. Experimental poison by ingestion, intraperitoneal, intravenous, subcutaneous, and parented routes. Moderately toxic by inhalation and skin contact. Experimental teratogenic and reproductive effects. Questionable carcinogen with experimental carcinogenic data. Mutation data reported. Lead compounds are particularly toxic to the central nervous system. It is a solvent for fatty materials and has some solvent action on rubber as well. The fact that it is a lipoid solvent makes it an industrial hazard because it can cause intoxication not only by inhalation but also by absorption through the skin. Decomposes when exposed to sunlight or allowed to evaporate; forms triethyl lead, which is also a poisonous compound, as one of its decomposition products. May cause elemental lead intoxication by coming in contact with the skin. A combustible liquid when exposed to heat, flame, or oxidizers. Can react vigorously with oxidzing materials. Exposure to air for several days may cause explosive decomposition. To fight fire, use dry chemical, CO2, mist, foam. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of Pb. See also LEAD COMPOUNDS.

잠재적 노출

Tetraethyl lead is used as a component of antiknock mixes for gas and as an intermediate in making fungicides; Tetraethyl lead (used as an antiknock compound in gasoline) can also contains impurities, such as ethylene dibromide and ethylene dichloride.

Carcinogenicity

A case-control study of former workers in a TEL-producing plant found a strong association between exposure to the TEL manufacturing process and rectal cancer (the odds ratio was 3.7 with 90% confidence limits of 1.3–10.2 for the analysis of ever/never exposed to TEL). An exposure–response relationship was noted with a fourfold elevation in the odds ratio at the high–very high cumulative exposure level. Similar results were obtained for cancers of the sigmoid colon. These results suggest to the authors that exposure to the TEL manufacturing process may have played a causal role in the colorectal cancer findings in this plant. However, IARC in 2006 has included organolead compounds (TEL and TML), with Lead and its Compounds in Group 3, not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans.

Purification Methods

Its more volatile contaminants can be removed by exposure to a low pressure (by continuous pumping) for 1hour at 0o. Purify it by stirring with an equal volume of H2SO4 (d 1.40), keeping the temperature below 30o, repeating this process until the acid layer is colourless. It is then washed with dilute Na2CO3 and distilled water, dried with CaCl2 and fractionally distilled at low pressure under H2 or N2 [Calingaert Chem Rev 2 43 1926]. It prevents “knocking” in petrol combustion engines. [Milde & Beatty Adv Chem Res 23 306-318 1959, Beilstein 4 H 639.] VERY POISONOUS.

비 호환성

Vapors may form explosive mixture with air. A strong reducing agent. Violent reaction with strong oxidizers, sulfuryl chloride; halogens, oils and fats; rust, potassium permanganate. Decomposes slowly in light and at room temperature, and more rapidly at temperatures above 110C. Attacks rubber and some plastics and coatings.

폐기물 처리

Consult with environmental regulatory agencies for guidance on acceptable disposal practices. Generators of waste containing this contaminant (≥ 100 kg/mo) must conform with EPA regulations governing storage, transportation, treatment, and waste disposal. Controlled incineration with scrubbing for collection of lead oxides which may be recycled or land filled. It is also possible to recover alkyl lead compound from wastewaters as an alternative to disposal.
