| Category | Details |
|---|---|
| Chemical Name | Trichloroethylene |
| Abbreviation | TCE |
| CAS Number | 79-01-6 |
| Chemical Formula | C2HCl3 |
| Molecular Weight | 131.39 g/mol |
| Appearance | Colorless transparent liquid with a characteristic odor similar to chloroform |
| Physical Properties | Density: 1.46 g/cm³; Boiling Point: 87.1°C; Soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, ether, acetone, carbon tetrachloride, and chloroform; Slightly soluble in water; Volatile and flammable at higher temperatures; Vapor can form explosive mixtures with air |
| Chemical Stability | Unstable; Oxidizes in air to produce phosgene, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen chloride without stabilizers; Resistant to most metals at ordinary temperatures, but reacts with acids, water, and metal powders under certain conditions |
| Production Methods | Prepared from acetylene, with tetrachloroethane as a diluent and anhydrous ferric chloride as a catalyst; Alternatively, ethylene and chlorine are passed into a reaction tower to produce a mixture of tetrachloroethane and pentachloroethane, which is then cracked in the presence of a barium chloride catalyst on activated carbon to produce trichloroethylene and tetrachloroethylene |
| Applications | Used as a degreaser for metals, a solvent, and an extractant in industries such as electroplating, electrical machinery, medicine, and dry cleaning; Also used as an anesthetic and in the production of tetrachloroethylene for anthelmintic drugs |
| Storage Conditions | Store in a cool, well-ventilated, dry warehouse; Keep in a sealed container and avoid sunlight; Store separately from food chemicals and strong alkalis; Keep away from heat sources |
