Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Administrative data
First-aid measures
the casualty is not breathing give artificial respiration.
If breathing is difficult give oxygen. Seek immediate
medical attention.
Emergency measure - Eyes: Remove from source of exposure. Immediately flush eyes with
copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Seek
immediate medical attention.
Emergency measure - Skin: Remove from source of exposure. Obtain immediate medical
attention. Remove contaminated clothing. Immediately flush
skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes.
Discard contaminated clothing in an appropriate manner. Do
not reuse.
Emergency measure - Ingestion: Seek immediate medical attention.
Fire-fighting measures
should be used.
Product arising from burning: Products of combustion may include oxides of carbon and
metal oxide smoke.
Product determined by test: N
Protective equipment: Full protective clothing including self-contained breathing
apparatus should be worn.
Accidental release measures
should be contained as much as possible. Recover product
and place in a suitable container for disposal. Neutralize
the spillage area with dilute acid. Ventilate area and wash
spill site with water.
Handling and storage
appropriate personal protective equipment including eye
protection, rubber gloves and apron.
Storage: Store in sealed, nitrogen-blanketed opaque high density
polythene or stainless steel tank (or drum) between 0 deg C
and 35 deg C away from direct sunlight.
Packaging of the substance and or preparation: The test substance should be packaged in high density
polythene, stainless steel or glass containers. Size of
containers varies from 1 kg bottles to 200 litre drums.

Stability and reactivity
Chemical reaction with water: The test substance will result in the formation of insoluble
anthraquinone when added to aerated water. The resultant
mixture will have an elevated pH depending on the
concentration of solution added and the salinity of the
water. There will be a slight exotherm upon mixing with
water.
Dust explosion: No information available.
Dust explosion determined by test: N
Disposal considerations
disodium salt to a slurry of insoluble yellow
anthrahydroquinone in clear saline water. Aeration of this
slurry will convert the anthrahydroquinone to insoluble
9,10-anthraquinone. The aqueous portion of the slurry can
be removed by filtration and easily disposed, leaving a
"wet" anthraquinone cake, the starting ingredient for the
manufacture of the anthracenediol, disodium salt.
Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: As above.
Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Waste can be discharged into landfill. Neutralise the
substance with acid (e.g.HCl) and then aerate to convert to
insoluble 9,10-anthraquinone.
Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: Incineration is the preferred method of dispoal. Neutralise
the substance with acid (e.g. HCl) and then aerate to
convert to insoluble 9,10-anthraquinone. The resultant
anthraquinone can then be incinerated in a chemical
incinerator equipped with an afterburner and scrubber.
Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: The commercial solution of the anthracenediol, disodium
salt, can be discharged directly into most wastewater
systems with no effect on the operation of the sewage works.
Discharge should be according to local regulations.
Industry - Possibility of destruction - other: Not applicable.
Public at large - Possibility of recovery/recycling: The substance will not enter the public domain.
