FAQ

Q1:

What is sulfide powder, and what are its primary uses?

Re: Sulfide powder is a chemical substance largely utilized in commercial applications due to its special chemical homes. It finds widespread use in metallurgy, semiconductor manufacturing, rubber production, and oil and gas extraction.

Q2:

Do sulfide powders pose a health risk?

Re: Some sulphide powders may pose a health risk, especially when they form fine particles. Prolonged inhalation of high concentrations of sulfide dusts may lead to respiratory diseases such as pneumoconiosis. In addition, some heavy sulfides may be toxic or carcinogenic. Therefore, proper protective measures such as wearing masks and gloves and ensuring good ventilation of the work area should be taken when handling sulfide powders.

Q3:

How can I safely store and handle sulfide powders?

Re: Key points for the safe storage and handling of sulfide powders include:
Dry conditions: Many sulfides tend to absorb moisture, so they should be stored in a dry environment.
Sealed storage: Use sealed containers for storage and avoid contact with air to prevent oxidation.
Keep away from ignition sources: Some sulfides are flammable and need to be kept away from sources of ignition and heat.

Personal Protection: Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as dust masks, goggles and gloves when operating.
Proper Disposal: Waste sulfide powder should be properly disposed of in accordance with local regulations and should not be discarded..

Q4:

What are the quality standards for sulfide powders?

Re: Quality standards for sulfide powders typically cover the following areas:
Purity: This refers to the content of the target sulfide and is usually required to be 90% or more.
Particle Size Distribution: The average particle size and range of particle sizes, which affects the flowability and processability of the powder.
Specific Surface Area: For certain applications, such as catalysts, specific surface area is an important indicator.
Morphology: The shape of the powder particles, such as spherical, flaky or acicular, can affect the properties of the final product.
Impurity content: the amount of non-target elements or compounds, excessive impurities may degrade product properties.
Physical properties: such as density, melting point, boiling point, etc. These data help to evaluate the suitability of the powder.

Q5:

How should sulfide powder be stored to maintain its quality and safety?

Re: Sulfide powder should be kept in a great, dry, and well-ventilated location, far from wetness, warmth, and incompatible chemicals. Storing in sealed containers that prevent air and moisture ingress is recommended. Regular inspections for leaks or signs of degradation are also essential.
