White phosphorus is a highly reactive and flammable substance, so special attention needs to be paid to the following points when preserving white phosphorus:
Store in an airtight container: White phosphorus needs to be stored in an airtight container to prevent spontaneous combustion or combustion caused by contact with air and moisture. White phosphorus can be stored in closed containers such as iron drums and glass bottles.
Store in a cool, dry place: White phosphorus should be placed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humid environments. During storage, substances such as desiccant or carbon dioxide can be placed inside the container to reduce the oxygen content in the air and prevent spontaneous combustion of white phosphorus.
Avoid collision and friction: White phosphorus is also very sensitive and flammable, so it needs to be avoided during storage and handling to avoid accidents.
Pay attention to fire and explosion prevention: White phosphorus is a flammable substance, and it is necessary to pay attention to fire prevention and explosion protection. In the process of storage and use, contact with other flammable substances should be avoided, smoking and open flames should be prohibited, and disasters should be prevented.
White phosphorus is a highly reactive and flammable substance that requires special attention to its preservation and use. When storing, you should use a closed container, place it in a cool and dry place, avoid collision and friction, pay attention to fire and explosion prevention and other measures to ensure safety. If white phosphorus needs to be stored for a long time, it is recommended to check its status regularly and replace the container and desiccant in time to guarantee its quality and safety. In addition, if it is necessary to dispose of the remaining white phosphorus, it is necessary to take care of the correct disposal method to prevent harm to the environment and human beings.
