Description
Carbon Disulfide
PHYSICALS:Pure carbon disulfide is a colorless, transparent, and
fragrant liquid, slightly soluble in water and a good solvent for
organic matters. Carbon disulfide as crude product contains a trace
quantity of sulfur, hydrogen sulfide, or other impurities, appears
pale yellow, and has a pungent odor. It is highly volatile, with
volatility 1.6 times higher than ether. Inflammable, carbon
disulfide has an auto-ignition temperature of **0℃ and a flash
point of **0℃. Additionally, the chemical is poisonous and harmful
to organisms
FUNCTIONS:The most important use of carbon disulfide is to make
viscose rayon and viscose stable fiber, accounting for *5% of the
gross amount. Carbon disulfide used for making cellophane accounts
for 5% of the gross amount;, less than *0% of carbon disulfide is
used in carbon tetrachloride; and the rest is used in chemical
engineering, rubber, flotation agent, agricultural chemicals,
pharmaceuticals, dyes, and petroleum industry. In addition, carbon
disulfide and its derivatives are used to make solvents,
extractants, pre-curing catalysts, and chemical reagents etc.
