Storage method

Storage Precautions[24] Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse dedicated to flammable gases. Keep away from fire and heat sources. The storage temperature should not exceed 30℃. Keep container tightly sealed. They should be stored separately from oxidants, acids, and halogens, and avoid mixed storage. Use explosion-proof lighting and ventilation facilities, and prohibit the use of mechanical equipment and tools that are prone to sparks. The storage area should be equipped with leakage emergency response equipment.

Synthesis method

The gas phase synthesis method of methanol and hydrogen sulfide uses activated alumina as the main catalyst, the reaction temperature is 280-450°C, and the reaction pressure is 0.74-0.25MPa. Using this method to produce methyl mercaptan, the yield based on methanol can exceed 64-70%. The method of producing mercaptans by using halogenated hydrocarbons and sulfhydryl bases (or thioureas), olefins and hydrogen sulfide can also be used in industry. In smaller-scale production, the method of reacting thiourea with dimethyl sulfate and then adding alkali hydrolysis can be used. Add water to the reaction pot, add thiourea while stirring, and add dimethyl sulfate dropwise. When the temperature naturally reaches 80-90°C, then heat to 120°C and react until the material becomes viscous. After discharging and cooling, the methyl thiourea salt filter cake is obtained, and then the temperature is controlled at 50-60°C, and the sodium hydroxide solution is added dropwise to the methyl isothiourea sulfate to generate methyl mercaptan.

Purpose

Used in the synthesis of western medicines, pesticides, methionine, and as an odor enhancer for odorless gases. [25]
