Pure Benzene Basics Introduction - Pure benzene is a petroleum - chemical basic raw material, a colorless, sweet - smelling, flammable, and carcinogenic liquid at room temperature. It is a good organic solvent, slightly soluble in water and easily soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. Its production and application need to strictly follow safety and environmental protection regulations [10]. 5. Pure Benzene Storage, Transportation Precautions and Uses - During transportation, operators should wear protective equipment and prevent vapor leakage. During storage, it should be stored separately from oxidants and food chemicals in a cool and ventilated warehouse, with a temperature not exceeding 30°C [15]. - Pure benzene is mainly used as a chemical raw material in industry, for synthesizing various alkylbenzenes, and a series of benzene derivatives [15]. 6.
