Industrial applications of Ethylene gas detector

Ethylene, with the chemical formula C2H4 and a molecular weight of 28.06, is a compound composed of two carbon atoms and four hydrogen atoms.

Ethylene is the basic chemical raw material for synthetic fibers, synthetic rubber, synthetic plastics, synthetic ethanol (alcohol), and is also used in the manufacture of vinyl chloride, styrene, ethylene oxide, acetic acid, acetaldehyde, and explosives, etc. It can also be used as an accelerant for fruits and vegetables and is a proven plant hormone.

Ethylene is one of the world's largest producers of chemical products, ethylene industry is the core of the petrochemical industry, ethylene products account for more than 75% of petrochemical products, in the national economy and occupies an important position. The world has ethylene production as a measure of a country's petrochemical development level as one of the important symbols.

Industrial applications and hazards of ethylene

Triple reaction, promotes fruit ripening, leaf senescence, inducing adventitious roots and root hairs, breaks the dormancy of plant seeds and buds, inhibits the flowering of many plants (but can induce and promote the flowering of pineapple and its cognate plants), and can change the direction of gender differentiation of flowers early in the development of flowers in dioecious and dioecious homozygous plants.

1, ethylene is an important basic raw material for organic chemicals, mainly used in the production of polyethylene, ethylene-propylene rubber, polyvinyl chloride, and so on;

2, one of the most basic raw materials for petrochemicals. In synthetic materials, a large number of used in the production of polyethylene, vinyl chloride and polyvinyl chloride, ethylbenzene, styrene, and polystyrene, as well as ethylene-propylene rubber, etc.; in organic synthesis, widely used for the synthesis of ethanol, ethylene oxide and ethylene glycol, acetaldehyde, acetic acid, propanal, propionic acid and its derivatives, and a variety of other basic organic synthetic raw materials; halogenated, can be made of chlorinated ethylene, chlorinated ethylene, ethylene bromide; zwitterionic can be made of α-olefins It can be used to produce high-grade alcohols, alkyl benzene and so on;

3、It is mainly used as the standard gas for analyzing instruments in petrochemical enterprises;

4、Ethylene is used as the environmentally friendly ripening gas for navel oranges, mandarin oranges, bananas and other fruits;

5, ethylene is used for pharmaceutical synthesis and high-tech materials synthesis.

The use of an ethylene detector is mainly because ethylene is a toxic gas to reaching a certain concentration will cause harm to the human body.

Route of Entry: Inhalation

Health hazards: strong anesthetic effect.

Acute poisoning: Inhalation of a high concentration of ethylene can cause immediate loss of consciousness without an obvious excitation period, but after inhaling fresh air, it can be quickly awakened. Slightly irritating to the eyes and mucous membranes of the respiratory tract. Liquid ethylene can cause skin frostbite.

CHRONIC EFFECTS: Prolonged exposure can cause dizziness, general malaise, fatigue, and lack of concentration. Individuals have gastrointestinal disorders.

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD: Hazardous to the environment, can cause pollution of water, soil, and atmosphere.

Ignition Hazard: Flammable.

Ethylene gas detector selection

Ethylene is a flammable gas and is also used in industrial use to detect flammable concentrations of ethylene. A combustible gas detector will sensor detect combustible gas concentration into electrical signals, through the cable transmission to the combustible gas alarm controller, the higher the gas concentration, the stronger the electrical signals, when the gas concentration reaches or exceeds the alarm controller set alarm point, the alarm sends out an alarm signal, and can be activated by solenoid valves, exhaust fans, and other outreach equipment, automatically eliminate hidden dangers. By the gas detection alarm lamp and fixed combustible detector sensor composition, a gas detection alarm controller can be placed in the duty room, mainly for the control of each monitoring point, A combustible gas detector installed in the gas is most likely to leak the location of the core components for the built-in Combustible Sensor.
