High-purity reference materials for accurate residue analysis

Overview

Anthraquinone, also known as anthracenedione or dioxoanthracene, is an aromatic organic compound with the formula C₁₄H₈O₂. It is a yellow, highly crystalline solid that is poorly soluble in water but soluble in hot organic solvents. Anthraquinone is used as a building block for many dyes, pharmaceuticals, and catalysts.

Uses

Anthraquinone is primarily used as a digester additive in the production of paper pulp by alkaline processes such as the kraft, alkaline sulfite, or Soda-AQ processes. It acts as a redox catalyst, protecting cellulose and hemicellulose from alkaline degradation and increasing the yield of pulp.

Additionally, anthraquinone is used as a bird repellant on seeds, a gas generator in satellite balloons, and has niche applications such as protecting sheep flocks against kea attacks in New Zealand.

Regulatory

Anthraquinone is subject to various regulatory requirements due to its potential health and environmental impacts. It is classified as a possible carcinogen, and its use is regulated to ensure safety and compliance with health standards.

Monitoring

Monitoring anthraquinone levels in food and environmental samples is crucial for ensuring compliance with regulatory limits. Laboratories conducting residue analysis rely on high-purity reference materials to achieve accurate and reliable results.

Health Impact

Anthraquinone is classified as a possible carcinogen. Occupational safety measures must be in place to minimize exposure and protect workers handling this compound. It has no recorded LD₅₀ due to its low solubility in water.

Environmental Impact

Anthraquinone can have significant environmental impacts if not managed properly. It is poorly soluble in water, which can lead to accumulation in the environment. Proper disposal and handling procedures are essential to minimize its environmental footprint.

Safety Measure

Safety measures for handling anthraquinone include using personal protective equipment (PPE), proper ventilation, and adherence to regulatory guidelines. Hazard statements include H350 (may cause cancer), and precautionary statements include P201, P202, P281, P308+P313, P405, and P501.
