The invention relates to a method for the intrinsically safe handling of 3-chlorpropyne in the presence of a diluent, which has a boiling point under normal pressure in the range of -50 °C (223 K) to 200 °C (473 K). According to the method, the concentration of 3-chloropropyne in the liquid phase and in the gaseous phase is maintained below the concentrations at which deflagration occurs, by means of the type and quantity of the diluent, the temperature and the total pressure of the system. The invention also relates to the use of 3-chloropropyne produced, stored or transported in this manner for the synthesis of dyes, pharmaceutical and agricultural active ingredients, electroplating auxiliary agents, disinfection agents, steroids and growth hormones. |
