Introduction
Glutaraldehyde, also known as valeraldehyde. The following is an introduction to the properties, uses, preparation methods and safety information of glutaraldehyde:
Quality:
Glutaraldehyde is a colorless liquid with a pungent odor. It reacts with air and light and is volatile. Glutaraldehyde is slightly soluble in water but soluble in most organic solvents.
Use:
Glutaraldehyde has a variety of uses. It can be used as a chemical intermediate in industry for the production of various chemicals. For example, it can be used in the synthesis of pesticides, flavors, plant growth regulators, etc.
Method:
Glutaraldehyde can be obtained by acid-catalyzed oxidation of pentose or xylose. The specific preparation method includes reacting pentose or xylose with acid, and obtaining glutaraldehyde products after oxidation, reduction and dehydration treatment.
Safety Information:
Glutaraldehyde is an irritating chemical and should be avoided in direct contact with the skin and eyes. When handling glutaraldehyde, protective gloves and goggles should be worn to ensure good ventilation. It should be kept away from fire and heat sources, as glutaraldehyde is volatile and there is a risk of combustion. During use and storage, relevant safety operating procedures must be followed to ensure safety and prevent accidents.
