Storage method

Storage Precautions^[20] Stored in a cool, dry and well-ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat sources. The storage temperature should not exceed 37°C. Keep container tightly sealed. They should be stored separately from oxidants, acids, and alkalis, and avoid mixed storage. Use explosion-proof lighting and ventilation facilities. It is prohibited to use mechanical equipment and tools that are prone to sparks. The storage area should be equipped with emergency release equipment and suitable containment materials.

Synthesis method

1. In a 1000mL three-necked flask equipped with a reflux condenser, mechanical stirrer and dropping funnel, add 85g (0.5mol) silicon tetrachloride and 200mL ether, and cool in an ice bath. 92g (2mol) absolute ethanol was added dropwise under stirring. After the addition, heat to reflux on a water bath for 2 hours. After cooling, add sodium ethoxide to neutralize to neutrality, then evaporate the diethyl ether on a water bath, and then perform fractional distillation to obtain 88 g of the product tetraethyl orthosilicate, with a yield of 85%.

2. Preparation method: Silicon tetrachloride and anhydrous ethanol are esterified at normal temperature and pressure, HCL is removed by distillation, and the finished product is obtained after cooling, neutralization, and distillation:

Purpose

1. Used as electrical insulation materials, coatings, and optical glass treatment agents. Also used in organic synthesis.

2. Used in the manufacture of chemical-resistant coatings, heat-resistant coatings, silicone solvents and precision casting adhesives.

3. Used as heat-proof coatings, chemical-resistant coatings, and organic synthesis intermediates. ^[21]
