Environment | CCl4 M. p. -23 ºC, b. p. 76. 5 ºC. Manufactured from CS2 plus Cl2 or by chlorination of CH4 and other hydrocarbons. In presence of H2O gives HCl and phosgene Cl2CO. Relatively toxic to the liver. The simplest member of the series of perchlorocarbons. Used as a solvent(use tends to be replaced by higher homologues and chloroethane derivatives)as a fumigant and in fire extinguishers. Source: European Union. (references) |
