Sodium Borohydride CAS 16940-66-2

Sodium Borohydride Chemical Properties

1. Melting point: Sodium Borohydride decomposes on exposure to heat, usually around 400°C (752°F).
2. Density: 1.07 g/cm³
3. Solubility: CAS 16940-66-2 is easily soluble in water and slowly reacts to produce hydrogen, also soluble in methanol, ethanol and other lower alcohols; insoluble in ethers and hydrocarbons.
4. Stability: Sodium Borohydride is stable under dry conditions, but decomposes under acid, moisture or high temperature.

Sodium Borohydride Applications

• Because of its strong reducing properties, sodium borohydride is often used in organic synthesis as a reduction of carbonyl compounds and as a reduction of esters and carboxylic acids.
• CAS 16940-66-2 as an organic intermediate can also be involved in organic synthesis reactions to synthesise complex organic compounds.

• Purification and recovery of precious metals: also due to the strong reducing character of sodium borohydride, precious metals such as gold, silver and platinum can be recovered from ores or industrial wastes by reducing metal ions to their elemental forms.
• Bleaching agent: Sodium borohydride is used as a bleaching agent in the paper and pulp industry to reduce residual lignin and improve paper whiteness without degrading cellulose fibres.
• Water treatment: By utilising the reducing properties of sodium borohydride, it effectively separates heavy metal ions, chlorinated organic compounds and other pollutants from water, making it safer to discharge or reuse.
• Hydrogen storage: Sodium borohydride has the ability to release hydrogen during hydrolysis, so it has been studied as a hydrogen storage material for fuel cells.

Information on safety

1. Storage: It is recommended that Sodium borohydride be stored tightly closed in a cool, dry container away from water, acids and oxidising agents. Sodium borohydride reacts with water to release hydrogen gas and sodium hydroxide, which can be hazardous.
2. HANDLING AND PROCESSING: Because 16940-66-2 may irritate skin and mucous membranes, wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, goggles, and a lab coat when handling this compound. Keep the operating environment well ventilated. Wash hands thoroughly after handling.
3. First aid measures: In case of inadvertent skin contact, wash with plenty of soapy water and remove contaminated clothing. In case of inadvertent contact with eyes, flush with water and remove contact lenses (if worn). If compound is inadvertently inhaled, keep patient in fresh air and consult a physician.

4. WASTE DISPOSAL: After all operations are completed, dispose of waste with inert material and in accordance with local regulations.
