Hazardous Decomposition Products

Agents produce dimethylamine [(CH3)2NH], carbon dioxide (C02), and complex organic compounds.

AEROPHINE 3418A promoter is widely used ia North and South America, AustraHa, Europe, and Asia for the recovery of copper, lead, and ziac sulfide minerals (see Elotatton). Advantages ia comparison to other collectors (15) are said to be improved selectivity and recoveries ia the treatment of complex ores, higher recoveries of associated precious metals, and a stable grade—recovery relationship which is particularly important to the efficient operation of automated circuits. Additionally, AEROPHINE 3418A is stable and, unlike xanthates (qv), does not form hazardous decomposition products such as carbon disulfide. It is also available blended with other collectors to enhance performance characteristics. 

Structural firefighters protective clothing is recommended for fire situations only it is not effective in spill situations or release events. Although arsine is primarily an inhalation hazard, decomposition products may pose a percutaneous risk. If chemical protective clothing is not available and it is necessary to rescue casualties from a contaminated area, then structural firefighters gear will provide limited skin protection. Contact with solids and solutions should be avoided.

Hazardous Decomposition Products Reasonably stable however, in presence of moisture, it hydrolyses rapidly, losing its vesicant property. It also hydrolyses in acidic medium to form HC1 and non-volatile (solid) chlorovinylarsenious oxide, which is less vesicant than Lewisite. Hydrolysis in alkaline medium, as in decontamination with alcoholic caustic or carbonate solution or DS2, produces acetylene and trisodium arsenate (Na3 As 04). Therefore, decontaminated solution would contain toxic arsenic.
