氫氧化鉀的性質

Properties of potassium hydroxide

白色粉末或片狀固體，熔點380 ℃，沸點1324 ℃，相對密度2.04 g/cm3，折射率n20/D 1.421，蒸汽壓1mmHg（719 ℃）。其性質與氫氧化鈉相似，具強堿性及腐蝕性，0.1 mol/L溶液的pH為13.5。極易吸收空氣中水分而潮解，吸收二氧化碳而成碳酸鉀。溶于約0.6份熱水、0.9份冷水、3份乙醇、2.5份甘油，微溶于醚。當溶解于水、醇或用酸處理時產生大量熱量。中等毒，半數致死量（大鼠，經口）1230 mg/kg。

White powder or flake solid, melting point 380 ℃, boiling point 1324 ℃, relative density 2.04 g / cm3, refractive index N20 / D 1.421, vapor pressure 1mmhg (719 ℃). Its properties are similar to that of sodium hydroxide. It is strongly alkaline and corrosive. The pH of 0.1 mol / L solution is 13.5. Easy to absorb moisture in the air and deliquescence, absorption of carbon dioxide and potassium carbonate. It is soluble in about 0.6 parts of hot water, 0.9 parts of cold water, 3 parts of ethanol, 2.5 parts of glycerol, slightly soluble in ether. When dissolved in water, alcohol or treated with acid, a large amount of heat is generated. The median lethal dose (rat, oral) was 1230 mg / kg.

措施

Safety measures

皮膚接觸：立即脫去污染的衣著，用大量流動清水沖洗少15分鐘。就醫。

Skin contact: take off contaminated clothes immediately and rinse with plenty of flowing water for at least 15 minutes. See a doctor.

眼睛接觸：立即提起眼瞼，用大量流動清水或生理鹽水徹底沖洗少15分鐘。就醫。

Eye contact: lift eyelids immediately and rinse thoroughly with plenty of flowing water or normal saline for at least 15 minutes. See a doctor.

吸入：迅速脫離現場空氣新鮮處。保持呼吸道通暢。如呼吸困難，給輸氧。如呼吸停止，立即進行人工呼吸。就醫。

Inhalation: quickly leave the scene to fresh air. Keep respiratory tract unobstructed. If you have difficulty breathing, give oxygen. If breathing stops, give artificial respiration immediately. See a doctor.

食入：用水漱口，給飲牛奶或蛋清。就醫。

Ingestion: gargle with water and drink milk or egg white. See a doctor.

滅火方法：用水、砂土撲救，但須防止物品遇水產生飛濺，造成灼傷。

Fire fighting method: use water and sand to put out the fire, but prevent the splashing of articles in contact with water, causing burns.

應急處理：隔離泄漏污染區，限制出入。建議應急處理人員戴防塵面具（罩），穿防酸堿工作服。不要直接接觸泄漏物。小量泄漏：用潔凈的鏟子收集于干燥、潔凈、有蓋的容器中。也可以用大量水沖洗，洗水稀釋后放入廢水系統。大量泄漏：收集回收或運廢物處理場所處置。

Emergency treatment: isolate the contaminated area and restrict access. It is suggested that the emergency treatment personnel should wear dust masks (full face masks) and acid-base protective clothing. Do not touch the leakage directly. Small leakage: collect with clean shovel in dry, clean and covered container. It can also be washed with a large amount of water and diluted into the waste water system. Large amount of leakage: collect and recycle or transport to waste treatment site for disposal.
