Leak treatment
Gas masks and gloves must be worn to deal with spills. If the air leak is found, the air leakage valve should be closed immediately, and if it cannot be repaired, the leaking cylinder should be moved out of the warehouse and immersed in lime milk in an open place to prevent poisoning accidents. The residual exhaust gas is discharged by exhaust fan to the washing tower or fume hood connected to the tower.
Exposure opportunities
Chlorine is mostly used for salt electrolysis. It can be contacted in metallurgy, papermaking, textile, pharmaceutical, rubber, plastic production, as well as in the production of phosgene, bleaching powder and other processes. During the injection, transportation and storage of liquid chlorine, as well as due to the lack of tight sealing of the cylinder mouth, a large amount of chlorine gas is often exposed
