Mercury(i) nitrate (1:1) (CAS NO.10415-75-5) is a highly toxic colorless crystals with nitric acid odor ,can be used as analytical reagent and the oxidant,besides can be used in the pharmaceutical. Its production methods is to dilute nitric acid by adding acid reactor, heating to 40 ~ 50 ℃, the slow reaction of added mercury by evaporation, cooling crystallization, centrifugal separation, mercury nitrate dihydrate obtained.The reaction is 2Hg +2 HNO3 +2 H2O → 2HgNO3 · 2H2O + H2 ↑
Heating decomposition will produce toxic mercury vapor and nitrogen oxide fumes, should not be fixed with organic matter, reducing agents, combustible sulfur and phosphorus combustible. Storage and transport characteristics of Mercury(i) nitrate (1:1) (CAS NO.10415-75-5) are low-temperature, drying, light pack light unloaded; separated with organic matter, reducing agents, sulfur, phosphorus combustible, food raw materials.Fire-extinguishing agent mist of water, sand, foam can be used if emergency.
