Trichloroethylene is a colorless, slightly toxic, volatile liquid organic halogen compound.
Trichloroethylene is a colorless, slightly toxic, volatile liquid organic halogen compound. It is commonly used as a solvent in dry cleaning processes, for degreasing metal materials, for decaffeinating coffee, and for dissolving fats and waxes from cotton and wool due to its non-flammable nature under normal conditions.
Trichloroethylene, first prepared in 1864, began to be produced on an industrial scale in Europe in 1908 and in the United States in 1925. This compound, obtained by reacting 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane with dilute sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, is denser than water and practically insoluble in water.
Trichloroethylene was primarily used as an adhesive for materials made from polystyrene, such as model toys. Its vapor can cause euphoria in humans, but continuous inhalation can lead to addiction.
It is mainly used in the production of tetrachloroethylene in industry. For this purpose, trichloroethylene is first reacted with chlorine to form tetrachloroethylene, then tetrachloroethylene is converted to trichloroethylene by reacting it with sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, or by heating it in the presence of a catalyst.
