What are the hazards of adding two methyl ether to gas?
Two (DME) is a colorless gas with a slight ether flavor, the vapor pressure at room temperature is about MPa, which is similar to the physical properties of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) (). Two dimethyl ether with inert, non corrosive, non carcinogenic, almost non-toxic. Unlike two ethyl ether, the long term exposure of methyl ether to air in the presence of two. Two ether saturated vapor pressure is lower than the liquefied gas storage and transportation, safer than liquefied petroleum gas, and combustion performance, high thermal efficiency, combustion process without residue, no black smoke, CO, NO emissions low, two DME has also mixed with liquefied petroleum gas, coal gas or natural gas combustion and can improve heat two, more than 95% ether can be directly used as fuel instead of liquefied petroleum gas. Therefore, it may be an ideal clean fuel to replace lpg. In addition, the two can also be used as chemical raw materials, mainly used in the manufacture of spray paint, pesticides, air fresheners, hair gel, anti rust agents and lubricants, etc..
However, there are some two ether corrosion effect on rubber, that is to say, if the gas bottle mixed with two ether, may cause the gas bottle angle valve rubber ring is corrosion, resulting in gas leakage, serious may cause an explosion.
In fact, two is a clean energy, it can be used as fuel
