Anthracene oil (90640-80-5) |
| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Chemical Properties]
Anthracene is colorless, to pale yellow crystalline
solid with a bluish fluorescence. PAHs are compounds
containing multiple benzene rings and are also called polynuclear
aromatic hydrocarbons. | [Potential Exposure]
It is used as an intermediate in dye
stuffs (alizarin), insecticides, and wood preservatives; making
synthetic fibers, anthraquinone, and other chemicals.
May be present in coke oven emissions, diesel fuel, and
coal tar pitch volitiles. | [First aid]
Move victim to fresh air. Call 911 or emergency
medical service. Give artificial respiration if victim is not
breathing. Do not use mouth-to-mouth method if victim
ingested or inhaled the substance; give artificial respiration
with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a oneway
valve or other proper respiratory medical device.
Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult. Remove and
isolate contaminated clothing and shoes. In case of contact
with substance, immediately flush skin or eyes with running
water for at least 20 minutes. For minor skin contact,
avoid spreading material on unaffected skin. Keep victim
warm and quiet. Effects of exposure (inhalation, ingestion,
or skin contact) to substance may be delayed. Ensure that
medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved
and take precautions to protect themselves. Medical observation
is recommended for 24 to 48 hours after breathing
overexposure, as pulmonary edema may be delayed.
As first aid for pulmonary edema, a doctor or authorized
paramedic may consider administering a drug or other
inhalation therapy. | [Shipping]
UN2811 Toxic solids, organic, n.o.s., Hazard
Class: 6.1; Labels: 6.1-Poisonous materials, Technical
Name Required. | [Incompatibilities]
Finely dispersed powder may form
explosive mixture in air. Contact with strong oxidizers
(chlorates, nitrates, peroxides, permanganates, perchlorates,
chlorine, bromine, fluorine, etc.); contact may cause fires
or explosions. Keep away from alkaline materials, strong
bases, strong acids, oxoacids, epoxides, chromic acid/or
calcium hypochlorite. | [Description]
Anthracene oil is a crop desiccant. It has a low aqueous solubility, non-mobile and is non-volatile. It is moderately persistent in most soil systems but not expected to be persistent in aqueous systems. Anthracene oil is moderately toxic to mammals but there is some concern regarding its potential to bioaccumulate. It is a skin irritant but there is no data to suggest any significant concerns for human health. It is moderately persistent to birds, fish and aquatic invertebrates. | [Waste Disposal]
Consult with environmental
regulatory agencies for guidance on acceptable disposal
practices. Generators of waste containing this contaminant
(≥100 kg/mo) must conform with EPA regulations governing
storage, transportation, treatment, and waste disposal.
Incineration. | [Definition]
Anthracene oil is a complex combination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons obtained from coal tar having an approximate distillation range of 300.degree.C to 400.degree.C (572.degree.F to 752.degree.F). Composed primarily of phenanthrene, anthracene and carbazole. | [Production Methods]
Anthracene oil is produced as a by-product during the high-temperature distillation of coal tar. The process begins by isolating the fraction of coal tar that boils between 300 and 360 DegC, known as anthracene oil, which contains approximately 7% anthracene along with other aromatic compounds. This oil is cooled and centrifuged to separate anthracene-rich residues. Further purification involves crystallisation to form an “anthracene cake,” followed by vacuum distillation to concentrate the anthracene content. Final refining steps, such as recrystallisation in polar solvents or azeotropic distillation, yield high-purity anthracene oil. | [Flammability and Explosibility]
