The Coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic has drawn attention to cleaning and disinfecting personal mobile devices. That intuitively makes sense, because we are constantly handling our phones and then pressing them against our face, close to our mouth and nose. The importance of keeping our hands away from ...

In 1990, 45,000 metric tonnes of isopropyl alcohol were used in the United States, mostly as a solvent for coatings or for industrial processes. In that year, 5400 metric tonnes were used for household purposes and in personal care products. Isopropyl alcohol is popular in particular for pharmaceutical applications, [17] due to its low toxicity. Some isopropyl alcohol is used as a chemical intermediate. Isopropyl alcohol may be converted to acetone, but the cumene process is more significant. [17] Solvent [ edit ]many benefits of cleaning with rubbing alcohol.

Isopropyl alcohol ( IUPAC name propan-2-ol and also called isopropanol or 2-propanol) is a colorless, flammable organic compound with a pungent alcoholic odor. [9] As an isopropyl group linked to a hydroxyl group ( chemical formula (CH 3) 2CHOH) it is the simplest example of a secondary alcohol, where the alcohol carbon atom is attached to two other carbon atoms. It is a structural isomer of propan-1-ol and ethyl methyl ether. They all have the formula C 3H 8O. There are two routes for the hydration process and both processes require that the isopropyl alcohol be separated from water and other by-products by distillation. Isopropyl alcohol and water form an azeotrope, and simple distillation gives a material that is 87.9% by mass isopropyl alcohol and 12.1% by mass water. [19] Pure ( anhydrous) isopropyl alcohol is made by azeotropic distillation of the wet isopropyl alcohol using either diisopropyl ether or cyclohexane as azeotroping agents. [17] Biological [ edit ] Cleaning electronics with alcohol is a safe and effective method to get rid of any nasty bacteria and germs lurking, without damaging your devices. If you want to use rubbing alcohol to clean electronics, simply apply a cloth or cotton swab with isopropyl alcohol to Inhaled isopropyl alcohol can be used for treating nausea in some settings by placing a disinfecting pad under the nose.

In the process of assembling, reworking or repairing printed circuit boards (PCB) for electronic devices, the discussion inevitably turns to whether or not to clean the PCB. Cleaning adds time and expense to the process, and doing it wrong can cause more harm than good. This guide will walk you thro...

The FDA has issued a warning about methanol contamination in over 75 different hand sanitizers on the market. Methanol is a toxic alcohol that can contaminate other safer alcohols commonly used for disinfecting hard surfaces: ethanol (aka ethyl alcohol) and isopropanol (aka isopropyl alcohol, IPA). ...

Isopropyl alcohol is esterified to give isopropyl acetate, another solvent. It reacts with carbon disulfide and sodium hydroxide to give sodium isopropylxanthate, a herbicide and an ore flotation reagent. [22] Isopropyl alcohol reacts with titanium tetrachloride and aluminium metal to give titanium and aluminium isopropoxides, respectively, the former a catalyst, and the latter a chemical reagent. [17] This compound may serve as a chemical reagent in itself, by acting as a dihydrogen donor in transfer hydrogenation. Burlage, Henry M.; Welch, H.; Price, C. W. (2006).

PMID 20285822. and when it’s mixed with bleach the chemical reaction creates chloroform. Chloroform can cause issues with the central nervous system, and kidneys, as well as causing nausea and dizziness. It is used in the manufacture of a wide variety of industrial and household chemicals and is a common ingredient in products such as antiseptics, disinfectants, hand sanitizer and detergents. Well over one million tonnes is produced worldwide annually. a b Petersen, Thomas H.; Williams, Timothy; Nuwayhid, Naziha; Harruff, Richard (2012).

S2CID 21101240.Isopropyl alcohol is miscible in water, ethanol, and chloroform, as it is an organic polar molecule. It dissolves ethyl cellulose, polyvinyl butyral, many oils, alkaloids, and natural resins. [10] Unlike ethanol or methanol, isopropyl alcohol is not miscible with salt solutions and can be separated from aqueous solutions by adding a salt such as sodium chloride. The process is colloquially called salting out, and causes concentrated isopropyl alcohol to separate into a distinct layer. [11] Mirafzal, Gholam A.; Baumgarten, Henry E. (1988).
