Solid alcohol is not solid alcohol (the melting point of alcohol is-1 14. 1℃, which is liquid at room temperature), but calcium acetate is added to industrial alcohol to make it solid.

Solid alcohol, because it is convenient to use, transport and carry, causes less environmental pollution when burning, and is safer than liquid alcohol. As a solid fuel, it is widely used in catering, tourism and field work.

The complete combustion of ethanol produces water and carbon dioxide gas, which is harmless to human body. However, if ethanol is not completely burned, carbon monoxide gas, carbon dioxide gas and water will be produced after combustion, and carbon monoxide is toxic, so it is harmful to human body. After carbon monoxide gas is inhaled into the body, it will combine with hemoglobin to produce carboxyhemoglobin, which will hinder the combination of hemoglobin and oxygen.

Matters needing attention in solid alcohol storage:

(1) Store in a cool and ventilated place. Stay away from fire and heat sources. The temperature in the warehouse should not exceed 30℃.

(2) Prevent direct sunlight. Keep the container sealed. Should be stored separately from oxidant. Lighting, ventilation and other facilities in the warehouse should be explosion-proof, and the switch should be located outside the warehouse.

(3) Equipped with corresponding varieties and quantities of fire fighting equipment. Buckets should not be stacked too large, with wall spacing, top spacing, column spacing and necessary fire inspection channels. Fire and explosion-proof technical measures should be taken when storage tanks are stored.

(4) Outdoor storage tanks should have cooling measures in summer. It is forbidden to use mechanical equipment and tools that are easy to generate sparks. Pay attention to the flow rate (no more than 3m/s) when filling, and set up grounding device to prevent electrostatic accumulation.
