1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino) ferrocene

Guidance on Safe Use

First-aid measures

Emergency measure - Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air, or supply oxygen. Seek immediate

medical attention.

Emergency measure - Eyes: Rinse opened eye under running water for several minutes.

Seek medical advice.

Emergency measure - Skin: Instantly wash affected area with soap and water. If

irritation occurs, seek medical attention.

Emergency measure - Ingestion: Seek immediate medical attention.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Water, carbon dioxide, powder or foam.

Product arising from burning: The substance is combustible and will burn if involved in a

fire, evolving noxious fumes (eg carbon and iron oxides and

phosphorus containing compounds).

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: Full protective clothing and a self-contained breathing

apparatus must be worn.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: Evacuate personnel from immediate vicinity.

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment conforming to

the relevant national or international standards.

Avoid dust formation by damping down with water. Absorb

spillages of solutions with a suitable inert material (eg

sand or soil). Carefully transfer the spillage to waste

containers, or use a sealed industrial vacuum machine.

Containers filled with waste material must be labelled in

the same way as the original containers.

Clean the spillage area with water and detergent.

Waste material from the process will be removed to a

precious metal recovery refinery for reclamation.

Handling and storage

Handling: Handle and use under conditions of good industrial hygiene

and in conformity with any local regulations in order to

avoid exposure.

Engineering controls are necessary to reduce exposure to the

substance.

When exposure cannot be prevented or adequately controlled

appropriate personal protective equipment should be worn.

Such protective equipment should conform to the appropriate

international or national standards as follows;

Chemical protective gloves to Standard EN374

Chemical resistant clothing to Standard EN368

Eye protection to Standard EN166

When necessary appropriate respiratory protection should be

used. e.g. a dust mask conforming to EN149 FFP1.

Storage: Store at approximately 4°C in a dry well-ventilated area,

under conditions of darkness.

Keep containers tightly closed when not in use.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: Contained within a plastic container, overpacked into

fibreboard cartons.

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Discharge to the environment will be minimal. Recovery from

minor spillages or accidental discharge is not economically

or technically feasible, and such waste material will be

disposed of by incineration, after precious metal recovery.

In principle, it may be possible to recover larger spillages

of uncontaminated material for subsequent use.

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: No hazardous health properties.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Contaminated containers or spillages of solutions mixed with

inert material (eg sand or soil) may be disposed of by

incineration at an authorised tip in accordance with local

regulations.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: The substance can be disposed of by incineration by burning

under controlled conditions at a licensed waste treatment

processor in accordance with local regulations. Stack gases

should be scrubbed, because noxious fumes (eg carbon and

iron oxides and phosphorus containing compounds) could be

formed.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: The substance would not normally be discharged directly to

the sewage system or the aqueous environment.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - other: None.

Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: Not applicable, as 100% of the substance is used by

industry, and the substance is not available to the public.

Public at large - Possibility of neutralisation: Not applicable, as 100% of the substance is used by

industry, and the substance is not available to the public.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Not applicable, as 100% of the substance is used by

industry, and the substance is not available to the public.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Not applicable, as 100% of the substance is used by

industry, and the substance is not available to the public.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - water purification: Not applicable, as 100% of the substance is used by

industry, and the substance is not available to the public.

Public at large - Possibility of destruction - others: Not applicable, as 100% of the substance is used by

industry, and the substance is not available to the public.
