Properties and stability

Chemical properties: Good thermal stability. When heated to above 220°C for 5 hours, only 2% decomposes to form sulfur dioxide. It is stable to acids and alkalis and does not decompose when heated to near the boiling point. Can react with chlorine. Can form complexes with cobalt and boron compounds.

This product has low toxicity. Generally, the oral LD ​​for animals is 500.73~9.4g/kg. If it splashes on skin, rinse with water.
　

Storage method

Packed in galvanized iron drums and stored at room temperature or low temperature. Store and transport according to general chemical regulations.

Synthesis method

Refining method: Add granular sodium hydroxide to sulfolane for distillation, or use a distillation tower with a column height of 1.5m and equipped with glass packing for vacuum distillation.

Purpose

Due to its high thermal stability and stability to acids and alkalis, it is an excellent solvent. It can be used to extract aromatic hydrocarbons from aliphatic hydrocarbons and remove acid gases from gas mixtures. Sulfolane can be used as a solvent for polymer compounds such as polyacrylonitrile, acrylonitrile copolymer, polyvinyl fluoride, etc., for spinning, making films, etc. It can also be used as a plasticizer for cellulose ether, polyvinyl alcohol, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polyamide, etc., and an additive for acrylic fiber spinning. Others can also be used for the separation of fatty acids and the extraction of non-cellulosic components from wood. Because sulfolane has a high boiling point, good thermal stability, and non-corrosive properties, it can be used as a condenser carrier. Adding to press oil can improve corrosion resistance, flame retardancy, thermal stability, viscosity and other properties.
