10.Stability and reactivity

10.1 Reactivity

no data available

10.2 Chemical stability

READILY OXIDIZED BY SUNLIGHT OR WHEN IN PRESENCE OF FINELY DIVIDED INERT CARRIER, ACQUIRING GREENISH-BROWN TINT

10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactions

ALTHOUGH PHENOTHIAZINE OXIDIZES FAIRLY EASILY WHEN IT IS EXPOSED TO AIR, RISK OF FIRE IS NOT HIGH.PHENOTHIAZINE is slowly decomposed by sunlight. . Organosulfides are incompatible with acids, diazo and azo compounds, halocarbons, isocyanates, aldehydes, alkali metals, nitrides, hydrides, and other strong reducing agents. Reactions with these materials generate heat and in many cases hydrogen gas. Many of these compounds may liberate hydrogen sulfide upon decomposition or reaction with an acid.

no data available

10.5 Incompatible materials

STABILITY: This compound is slowly decomposed by sunlight.

10.6 Hazardous decomposition products

...IF INVOLVED IN FIRE, PHENOTHIAZINE PRODUCES HIGHLY TOXIC SULFUR & NITROGEN OXIDES, WHICH ARE DANGEROUS LUNG IRRITANTS.

12.1 Toxicity

• Toxicity to fish: no data available
• Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: no data available
• Toxicity to algae: no data available
• Toxicity to microorganisms: no data available

12.2 Persistence and degradability

A four-week biodegradation study using 30 mg/l sludge and a phenothiazine concentration of 100 mg/l gave a theoretical BOD of 0%(1).

12.3 Bioaccumulative potential

An estimated BCF value of 840 was calculated for phenothiazine(SRC), using an experimental log Kow of 4.15(1) and a recommended regression-derived equation(2). An eight-week bioconcentration study using carp and phenothiazine concentrations of 20 and 2 ug/l gave BCF values of 127-660 and 180-528, respectively(4). According to a classification scheme(3), these BCF values suggest that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is high(SRC).

12.4 Mobility in soil

The Koc of phenothiazine is estimated as approximately 4300(SRC), using an experimental log Kow of 4.15(1) and a regression-derived equation(2,SRC). According to a recommended classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that phenothiazine has slight mobility in soil(SRC). The adsorptivity of phenothiazine is expected to be sensitive to pH since phenothiazine is a base with a pKa of 2.52(4).

12.5 Other adverse effects

no data available

13.Disposal considerations

13.1 Disposal methods

Product

The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.

Contaminated packaging

Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
