Preparation:
Potassium borohydride can be prepared by reacting with hydrogen, or using sodium metal and boric acid. It is simple and effective to prepare and is commonly used in reduction reactions in the laboratory and in industrial production. The chemical is highly stable and requires no special attention under routine conditions, but needs to be stored protected from moisture.
Applications:
Potassium borohydride is a strong reducing agent, which is widely used in organic synthesis reactions, such as hydrogenation and reduction reactions. It has a wide range of applications in the fields of drug synthesis, polymer production, chemical analysis, and preparation of electronic materials. It can also be used to reduce certain functional groups to a low valence state, and is an important chemical reagent in scientific research and industry.
Hazardous materials labeling:
corrosiveness: Potassium borohydride has strong reducing properties and should be handled in such a way as to avoid contact with water to prevent the generation of hydrogen gas.
Fire and explosion hazards: Potassium borohydride may release hydrogen gas in moisture or in contact with acids, presenting a risk of explosion when exposed to an ignition source.
stimulating: Can irritate skin, eyes, and respiratory tract, and requires appropriate protective equipment when used.
Please strictly observe the chemical safety operation regulations according to the product characteristics and use requirements to ensure safe use.
