Di-2-ethylhexylamine has various uses. It is often used as a raw material for surfactants in the chemical industry. The surfactant prepared by this method can change the surface properties of the chemical system and has effects on emulsification, dispersion and solubilization. For example, in emulsion polymerization, it can help monomers to disperse uniformly to form a stable emulsion and obtain polymer materials with excellent properties.
In the field of organic synthesis, it is also a key intermediate. It can react with many compounds to construct complex organic molecular structures containing nitrogen. In the field of drug synthesis, or it involves its participation in reactions to help form drug molecules with specific biological activities, which is of great significance to the research and development of medicine.
In the field of extraction, it also plays a significant role. Due to its special chemical structure, it shows good extraction performance for some metal ions. In the extraction and separation of non-ferrous metals, it can selectively extract specific metal ions to improve the metal collection rate and purity, which is very important in the metallurgical industry.
It is also used in oil additives. Adding oil can improve some properties of oil, such as anti-wear, anti-oxygen, etc., prolong the service life of oil, and ensure the stable operation of machinery and equipment.

Fudi-2-ethylhexylamine is also a common organic compound in the chemical industry. Its impact on the environment can be particularly investigated.
The first to bear the brunt, this substance may disturb the water environment. If accidentally released in rivers, lakes and seas, due to its chemical characteristics, or insoluble in water, it can adhere to suspended particles, causing the quality of the water to deteriorate. Aquatic organisms depend on water for survival, and the water body is polluted, its survival is worrying. Or cause the physiological functions of organisms such as fish, shrimp and shellfish to be hindered, reproduction and growth can be hindered, and the population will decrease sharply in severe cases.
Furthermore, the soil environment is also harmed. If a substance containing di-2-ethylhexylamine seeps into the soil, it will change the physical and chemical properties of the soil. Soil microbial communities depend on a suitable environment for survival and reproduction. The intervention of this compound may disturb its ecological balance, affecting the decomposition of organic matter and nutrient cycling in the soil, thereby reducing soil fertility, which is not conducive to plant rooting and growth, and crop yield and quality will also be implicated.
In terms of atmospheric environment, if di-2-ethylhexylamine volatilizes into the air, it will interact with other pollutants. It has a certain volatility, and the organic waste gas formed can participate in photochemical reactions, generate secondary pollutants such as photochemical smog, which can reduce air quality, endanger human health, and make people susceptible to respiratory diseases. < Br >
and di-2-ethylhexylamine itself may be toxic and bioaccumulative. After biological ingestion, it is difficult to degrade and is passed along the food chain, and the concentration gradually increases, eventually endangering the organisms at the top of the food chain, including humans themselves. Therefore, when using and disposing of this compound, extreme caution should be taken to reduce its harm to the environment.

Di-2 - ethylhexylamine is also a chemical substance. If it is stored, the animal should pay attention to the general situation, so as not to cause damage.
One of them is the most important. This compound should be stored in a cool place, and it should be a high source of ignition. If it is in a high environment, its properties can be damaged or caused by heat, or it can even cause ignition and explosion. Because high temperature can increase the activity of molecules, it should be controlled in a suitable environment.
Second, avoid water and prevent moisture. Di-2 - ethylhexylamine encounters water or tides in the air, or initiates chemical reactions, causing its products to suffer. Therefore, where it exists, it must maintain dryness, and things such as dryness can be used to maintain dryness in the environment.
Third, sealed and stored. This is to prevent it from being scattered, and it can also prevent it from being connected and damaged in the air. The container must be well-packed and checked regularly. If there is any leakage, it will be dealt with immediately.
Fourth, it will be stored separately. It is not possible to store oxidizing substances, acids, etc. together. Due to its chemical properties, it is easy for this material to meet, which can easily lead to strong reactions and endanger safety.
Fifth, it is clear. On the storage container, the name, characteristics, and warnings of ethylhexylamine are clear. In this way, people can act according to the rules and avoid mistakes.
Therefore, the storage of Di-2-ethylhexylamine requires care in terms of degree, dryness, sealing, separation and isolation to ensure its safety.

Di-2-ethylhexylamine is a colorless to light yellow liquid with a pungent odor specific to amines. Its boiling point is quite high, about 294 ° C. Under normal conditions, it is difficult to volatilize and has good stability.
Looking at its solubility, di-2-ethylhexylamine is slightly soluble in water, but it can be miscible with many organic solvents such as alcohols, ethers, ketones, etc. This property makes it widely used in organic synthesis and other fields.
In terms of density, it is about 0.789g/cm ³, which is lighter than water. Its flash point is 126 ° C, which has a certain flammability. When storing and using, pay attention to fire protection.
In addition, di-2-ethylhexylamine is a basic substance that can neutralize with acids to form corresponding salts. In chemical reactions, it is often used as a basic catalyst or reactant, participating in many organic reactions such as amidation and alkylation. Because of its alkalinity, it is also indispensable in some reaction systems that need to adjust pH or provide an alkaline environment.

Di-2-ethylhexylamine is toxic and dangerous. During use, many safety measures should be taken.
First, appropriate protective equipment is required. When handling this object, when wearing protective clothing, the material of this clothing is tough and dense, which can resist the contamination and penetration of Di-2-ethylhexylamine and protect the skin of the whole body from it. And protective gloves must be worn. The gloves should be made of chemically resistant materials, such as nitrile rubber gloves, to isolate the hand skin from the substance. At the same time, protective glasses are also indispensable, which can protect the eyes and avoid Di-2-ethylhexylamine splashing. If this object enters the eyes, it will cause serious injury.
Second, the workplace should be well ventilated. The volatile gaseous components of this substance may be irritating and toxic, and accumulate in a closed space, which will endanger the health of the operator. Therefore, effective ventilation equipment should be set up, such as fume hoods, exhaust fans, etc., to make the air flow smoothly, quickly discharge the turbid gas containing this substance, ensure the air quality of the working environment, and reduce the concentration of harmful substances.
Third, strictly abide by the operating specifications. When taking Di-2-ethylhexylamine, the action should be slow and stable to avoid its leakage. Once it spills, clean it up according to the established procedures. Cover the spill with highly adsorbent materials, such as vermiculite, sand, etc., collect the adsorbed materials and dispose of them properly according to regulations. Never dump them at will to avoid polluting the environment.
Fourth, in terms of storage, also pay attention to it. When Di-2-ethylhexylamine is placed in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place, away from fire and heat sources. Because of its flammability, it will encounter open flames, hot topics or cause combustion explosions. And the storage container must be tightly sealed to prevent leakage. Materials of different chemical properties should not be mixed with them to avoid dangerous chemical reactions. All these protective measures are to ensure the safety of the operator and the tranquility of the environment.
