Storage method
Storage Notes[16] Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat sources. The storage temperature does not exceed 32°C and the relative humidity does not exceed 80%. Keep container tightly sealed. They should be stored separately from oxidants, active metal powders, and food chemicals, and avoid mixed storage. The storage area should be equipped with emergency release equipment and suitable containment materials.
Synthesis method
1. Methane thermal chlorination method: Methane and chlorine are mixed, and a thermal chlorination reaction occurs at 400 to 430°C to obtain crude product and by-product hydrochloric acid. The crude product is neutralized, dried, and distilled to purify to obtain the finished product.

In addition to hydrochloric acid, the by-products include chloroform, tetrachloroethylene and hexachloroethane, all of which can be recycled and sold.
2 .Carbon disulfide method uses iron as a catalyst to react chlorine and carbon disulfide at 90 to 100°C. The reaction product is fractionated, neutralized, and distilled to obtain the finished product. This method requires less investment and the product is easy to purify, but the cost is high and the equipment is seriously corroded.

3. Methane oxychlorination method has high chlorine utilization rate. No pollution from hydrogen chloride and waste halogenated hydrocarbons.
4. The high-pressure chlorination method avoids the production of tetrachlorethylene. 5. The methanol hydrochlorination method has good quality and high economic benefits. , both dichloromethane and chloroform can be co-produced with tetrachloromethane
6. Combine 100L industrial carbon tetrachloride, 15L 95% ethanol, 1.5g 42% sodium hydroxide and lead acetate. Mix, stir and heat to boil until the sulfide content test is passed. Then add water and wash it for more than three times. Discard the water layer and add concentrated sulfuric acid (10kg of sulfuric acid per 100kg of carbon tetrachloride). Stir and pickle until the sulfuric acid test passes. Then wash with water. After three times, add 5% sodium hydroxide solution, stir thoroughly and let it stand. Discard the water layer and repeat alkali washing until the acidity is qualified. Add an appropriate amount of anhydrous calcium chloride and a small amount of anhydrous to the carbon tetrachloride that has passed the alkali washing. Sodium carbonate, let it stand fully, filter out the desiccant, distill it under normal pressure, and collect the 76-77.5°C fraction, which is the finished product.
