Sulfur powder is widely used in people’s daily production and life, but the sulfur powder that needs to be paid attention to is a flammable solid. In the event of a dangerous accident, what are the precautions for the storage of sulfur powder? Let’s take a closer look at the manufacturer of sulfur powder.
Sulfur powder should be stored in a suitable environment. The most suitable storage environment is a cool and ventilated room. At the same time, it should be kept away from fire and heat sources when stored indoors to prevent combustion and explosion. If it is liquid sulfur , then it should be stored in an insulated storage tank. When storing sulfur powder, it should be noted that other phosphorus, metal powders or oxidants cannot be mixed and stored. If they are mixed and stored, a certain reaction will occur between the two, resulting in changes in their performance. In severe cases, it will cause a violent reaction accident.
Regularly inspect the warehouse where the sulfur powder is stored. If any potential safety hazard is found, it should be eliminated in time. At the same time, the temperature of the warehouse, whether there is a mixture, and the degree of humidity should be checked. The electrical lighting equipment in the warehouse must have explosion-proof functions. It is best to set it outside the warehouse. In order to prevent accidents when storing sulphur powder, emergency measures are required, such as sand and fire fighting equipment, so that the loss can be minimized in the event of a fire. Before operating, pay attention to personal protection work to prevent sulfur powder from affecting personal health, such as wearing masks, etc., before entering the work site for operation.
