Anhydrous Aluminum Chloride Extra Pure

WhatsApp Order

Anhydrous Aluminum Chloride Extra Pure is a high-purity, white to pale yellow crystalline compound widely used in laboratory chemistry as a powerful Lewis acid catalyst. It plays a key role in organic synthesis, particularly in Friedel–Crafts alkylation and acylation reactions, and is essential in the study of electrophilic aromatic substitution mechanisms. Due to its extreme moisture sensitivity, it hydrolyzes rapidly upon exposure to air, releasing hydrogen chloride gas, and must be handled under strictly dry conditions. The extra pure grade ensures low levels of impurities, making it suitable for high-precision research and moisture-sensitive experimental work. It should be stored in airtight, moisture-free containers in a cool, dry environment, preferably under an inert atmosphere.

SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

Safety Handling Precautions

    • Use in a certified fume hood—AlCl₃ reacts violently with moisture, releasing hydrogen chloride (HCl) gas.
  • Handling:
    • Handle with extreme care—AlCl₃ is highly reactive and corrosive.
    • Avoid any contact with water, moisture, or skin.
    • Do not breathe dust or fumes.
    • Use only non-metallic tools and containers where compatible.
  • Storage:
    • Store in airtight, sealed containers under dry, inert conditions (e.g., desiccator or glove box).
    • Keep away from moisture, acids, bases, and oxidizers.
    • Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from flammable materials.
  • Hygiene Measures:
    • Wash hands and arms thoroughly after handling.
    • Remove and clean contaminated clothing.
    • Never touch face or eyes when handling AlCl₃.

FIRST AID MEASURES

  • Inhalation:
    • Move the person to fresh air immediately.
    • If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen.
    • Seek immediate medical attention—HCl vapors from hydrolysis can cause serious lung damage.
  • Skin Contact:
    • Brush off any dry particles, then wash skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
    • Remove contaminated clothing.
    • Seek medical attention for burns, irritation, or delayed symptoms.
  • Eye Contact:
    • Rinse eyes immediately with plenty of water for 15+ minutes.
    • Hold eyelids apart and remove contact lenses if present.
    • Seek emergency medical treatment—can cause severe eye damage or burns.
  • Ingestion:
    • Do NOT induce vomiting.
    • Rinse mouth with water.
    • Give water or milk only if the person is conscious.
    • Seek immediate medical attention—may cause burns to the mouth, throat, and stomach.

FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

  • Suitable Extinguishing Media:
    • Use dry powder (e.g., sand, Class D extinguisher), CO₂, or dry chemical.
    • Do NOT use water or foam—reaction with water is violent and releases corrosive fumes.
  • Specific Hazards:
    • Reacts exothermically with water, releasing:
      • Hydrogen chloride gas (HCl) – corrosive and toxic
      • Aluminum hydroxide, forming a gelatinous mass
    • Contact with organic materials may cause combustion.
