What are the precautions for Solvent Extraction Tank?

1. Safety protection
Personal protection: Operators should wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as protective glasses, gloves, protective clothing, etc. to prevent solvents from splashing onto the skin or eyes.
Ventilation system: Ensure that the work area has a good ventilation system to remove harmful gases and vapors generated during the extraction process and keep the air fresh.
Fire and explosion prevention: Solvents are mostly flammable and explosive substances, so fireworks are strictly prohibited in the work area and corresponding fire-fighting equipment should be equipped.

2. Solvent management
Solvent selection: Select appropriate solvents according to the properties of the extraction target, and avoid using solvents that are prone to emulsification or adverse side reactions.
Solvent storage: Solvents should be stored in a cool, ventilated, and dry place, away from fire and heat sources.
Solvent recovery: After the extraction is completed, the solvent should be recovered to reduce waste and environmental pollution.

3. Equipment operation
Equipment inspection: Before operation, the solvent extraction tank should be fully inspected to ensure that all components are intact, the connections are tight and there is no leakage.
Temperature control: According to the extraction process requirements, the extraction temperature should be reasonably set to avoid excessively high temperatures that cause the solvent to evaporate too quickly or cause other adverse reactions.
Pressure control: For extraction processes that require pressurization or decompression, the pressure range should be strictly controlled to ensure safe operation of the equipment.

4. Maintenance and care
Regular cleaning: Clean the extraction tower regularly to remove residues and dirt and keep the equipment clean.
Check the sealing performance: Check the sealing performance of the extraction tower regularly to ensure that no leakage occurs.
Maintenance and care: Perform maintenance and care in accordance with the requirements of the equipment manual, such as replacing worn parts, lubricating transmission parts, etc.

5. Emergency handling
Emergency plan: Develop a complete emergency plan, including response measures for emergencies such as fire and leakage.
Emergency drills: Organize emergency drills regularly to improve the emergency handling capabilities and safety awareness of operators.

For the use of Solvent Extraction Tank, preventive measures need to be taken from multiple aspects such as safety protection, solvent management, equipment operation, sample handling, maintenance and care, and emergency handling to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the operation.
