SRP: Recycle any unused portion of the material for its approved use or return it to the manufacturer or supplier. Ultimate disposal of the chemical must consider: the material's impact on air quality; potential migration in air, soil or water; effects on animal, aquatic and plant life; and conformance with environmental and public health regulations. If it is possible or reasonable use an alternative chemical product with less inherent propensity for occupational harm/injury/toxicity or environmental contamination.

SRP: The scientific literature for the use of contact lenses by industrial workers is inconsistent. The benefits or detrimental effects of wearing contact lenses depend not only upon the substance, but also on factors including the form of the substance, characteristics and duration of the exposure, the uses of other eye protection equipment, and the hygiene of the lenses. However, there may be individual substances whose irritating or corrosive properties are such that the wearing of contact lenses would be harmful to the eye. In those specific cases, contact lenses should not be worn. In any event, the usual eye protection equipment should be worn even when contact lenses are in place.

IDENTIFICATION AND USE: Chlorine monoxide is a reddish-brown explosive liquid or yellowish-brown explosive gas. HUMAN STUDIES: Chlorine monoxide is intensely irritating to eyes, skin, mucous membranes, respiratory tract. ANIMAL STUDIES: There are no data available.

Chlorine monoxide's use as a chlorinating agent(1) may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams(SRC). It's use as a wood bleach, biocide and in swimming pool treatment(2) will result in its direct release to the environment(SRC).

Chlorine monoxide

Flammable chemical that can be released at a facility.

Dichlorine monoxide has been used as an intermediate in the manufacture of calcium hypochlorite and in sterilization for space applications. Its use in the preparation of chlorinated solvents and chloroisocyanurates has been described. Dichlorine monoxide has been shown to be effective in bleaching of pulp (qv) and textiles. It also can be used as an etchant in semiconductor manufacture.

Chlorinating agent.

Routes more amenable to commercial-scale production are based on reaction of chlorine with sodium bicarbonate, carbonate, or sesquicarbonate. For example, reaction of Cl2 and water vapor with soda ash in a countercurrent tower reactor gives Cl2O mixed with Cl2, HOCl, H2O, and CO2. The reaction can also be carried out in a fluidized-bed reactor employing sodium sesquicarbonate. High yields of Cl2O are reported for the reaction of Cl2, diluted with moist air, with porous soda ash. A continuous scheme for generating Cl2O involves reaction of Cl2 with anhydrous soda ash in a fixed or fluidized-bed reactor at 180 °C. The Cl2O can be used as is or absorbed in water to produce a hypochlorous acid solution. The Cl2O-containing gas from reaction of atomized NaOH can be dried, condensed, and fractionated to obtain liquid Cl2O.

Gaseous dichlorine monoxide is conveniently generated by passing chlorine gas through mercuric oxide in a packed tubular reactor. High yields are favored by cooling the reactor, diluting the chlorine with an inert gas, and mixing the dry HgO with an inert material, eg, sand. Use of excess HgO ensures complete conversion of chlorine. The spent HgO can be regenerated by treatment with aqueous caustic, filtering, washing with water, and drying at 110 °C. The relatively pure Cl2O in the exit gases can be passed through a trap cooled with dry ice and acetone to condense liquid Cl2O. The preparation can also be carried out under static conditions.

Dichlorine monoxide is formed by passing chlorine diluted with an inert gas over the surface of a slowly stirred 50% NaOH solution at about 5 °C. The exit gas also contains some unreacted chlorine as well as HOCl and small amounts of water vapor. Passage through P2O5 absorbs the moisture and dehydrates the HOCl to Cl2O. Condensation of the Cl2O separates it from the inert gas and most of the chlorine. Fractionation removes the last traces of chlorine.
