Sulfuryl fluoride is widely used in warehouses, containers, cabins, grain and oil fumigation, and other fields due to its low residue, strong diffusion and permeability, and fast insecticidal speed. The precautions for sulfuryl fluoride fumigant mainly include the points for attention in the normal fumigation process It is divided into two parts: emergency treatment and attention flow when an accident occurs. Although sulfuryl fluoride has good insecticidal and sterilizing effects, it must be based on effective fumigant concentration and safety. This requires the use of sulfuryl fluoride concentration detectors to monitor the concentration and residual concentration of sulfuryl fluoride fumigant detection.
Points to note in the sulfuryl fluoride fumigant process:
1. Preparation stage
A warning line must be set up in the fumigation area, warning signs must be hung, and special supervision must be arranged. At least corresponding anti-virus devices, first-aid medicines, and equipment should be prepared.
2. Sealing stage
The doors, windows, ventilation holes, skylights, etc. of the fumigated warehouse must be tightly sealed, and a seal inspection must be carried out before fumigation to ensure that the sealing performance meets the requirements of sulfuryl fluoride fumigant.
3. Dosing stage
When injecting sulfuryl fluoride, it should be carried out in strict accordance with the order from downwind to upwind, from inside to outside, and from bottom to top, and use electronic scales or scales to accurately measure the dosage.
4. Dispersion stage
The skylights, ventilation holes, windows, doors, etc. of the fumigation warehouse should be opened in the order of downwind first and then upwind to ventilate and disperse air, and the residual sulfuryl fluoride concentration should be detected every 30 minutes with a sulfuryl fluoride residual detector.
5. End stage
After the sulfuryl fluoride fumigant is finished, the fumigation equipment and chemicals should be listed in time, and the warning signs and warning lines should be removed. At the same time, the fumigation data should be recorded and the experience should be summed up.
Sulfuryl fluoride fumigant concentration requirements:
1. Sulfuryl fluoride: High doses of sulfuryl fluoride (≥20g/m3) shall not be used repeatedly in the same batch of grain
2. The maximum residual concentration in space after sulfuryl fluoride fumigant treatment is 20.9mg/m3 (5ppm)
Sulfuryl fluoride accident emergency treatment process:
1. A fire broke out
When a fire breaks out in sulfuryl fluoride fumigant places, firefighters should not only wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus, but also wear chemical protective clothing against hydrofluoric acid, and rinse the sulfuryl fluoride steel cylinder with water.
2. Leakage occurs
In the event of a sulfuryl fluoride cylinder leak, the leaking cylinder should be disposed of after wearing protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus, and empty it into a mixed solution of alkali and slaked lime.
3. Inhalation of medicines
If someone accidentally inhales a large amount of sulfuryl fluoride fumigant, they should be transferred to a place with fresh air for bed rest in a timely manner, given oxygen inhalation if necessary, and kept warm.
4. The agent splashes on the skin or clothing
If you accidentally get sulfuryl fluoride on your skin or clothing, wash it with plenty of water immediately, and take off your clothes for thorough cleaning after the sulfuryl fluoride is completely vaporized.
5. Drug splashed into the eyes
If sulfuryl fluoride accidentally splashes into the eyes, open the upper and lower eyelids, rinse gently and slowly with tap water or clean water for 15-20 minutes, and then go to the hospital for further treatment.
6. Coma
If sulfuryl fluoride poisoning leads to coma, the fainted person should be evacuated from the scene in time, and let him lie on his side with his head slightly lower than his chest, and use phenobarbital in time to prevent convulsions and send him to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
