Common questions

What is morpholine used for?

What is morpholine used for?

Morpholine is a colorless liquid with a weak Ammonia or fish- like odor. It is used as a solvent, rubber accelerator, corrosion inhibitor, boiler water additive, and brightener for detergents.

Is morpholine a carcinogen?

While morpholine is not rated as carcinogenic, the formation of N-nitrosomorpholine (NMOR) upon reaction with nitrites and nitrates is of serious concern.

What is morpholine injection?

Morpholine is often used in conjunction with low concentrations of hydrazine or ammonia to provide a comprehensive all-volatile treatment chemistry for corrosion protection for the steam systems of such plants.

What is the chemical structure of morpholine?

C4H9NO
Morpholine/Formula

Which drug is having morpholine nucleus?

(56,57) After 80 years of research around substance P antagonists (SPAs), a morpholine-containing compound (aprepitant) became the first approved oral drug for the treatment of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV).

Why morpholine is used in boiler feed water?

MORPHOLINE is an organic amine used for boiler water treatment. It increases the pH of boiler water to protect boiler against corrosion. MORPHOLINE is an amine based formulation and does not add salt to the boiler water and thereby does not increase the TDS which results in reduced blow down and fuel savings.

How do you handle morpholine?

Precautions for safe handling Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid inhalation of vapour or mist. Keep away from sources of ignition – No smoking. Take measures to prevent the build up of electrostatic charge.

How do you store morpholine?

Storage conditions : Keep only in the original container in a cool, well ventilated place away from : Heat sources, Ignition sources, incompatible materials. Keep container tightly closed. Incompatible products : Strong oxidizers. Incompatible materials : Sources of ignition.

What is the pH of morpholine?

Activated Hydrazine (34 ~ 35% as N2H4). 34 ~ 35% as N2H4, Chloride less than 0.1% as NaCl, Catalyzed Hydrazine solution for corrosion Pr and related equipment. Morpholine (C4H9NO)….pH Booster Morpholine Base.

Properties Unit Typical Value
pH (neat) pH Alkaline
Solubility Completely Soluble in Water

What is the function of dosing of morpholine or proprietary chemicals downstream of the boiler feed water pump?

Morpholine is used as a boiler water treatment additive in steam systems of power plants and refineries. It forms an even wax like coating as morpholine oleate. It prevents decomposition of a chlorinated hydrocarbon in a composition containing the chlorinated hydrocarbon and a large amount of water.

Is morpholine an acid or a base?

Because of the amine, morpholine is a base; its conjugate acid is called morpholinium. For example, treating morpholine with hydrochloric acid makes the salt morpholinium chloride.
