3.1 Sulphur hexafluoride
Sulphur hexafluoride is of gas state, nontoxic, colorless, flavorless and with very stable chemical properties at normal temperature and pressure, its density is 6.16g/L and it is with outstanding insulation, arc extinguishing and electrical performances at 20℃ and 101325 Pa.
3.2 SF6 electrical apparatus
It is the electrical apparatus filled with sulphur hexafluoride as the isolation medium, such as sulphur hexafluoride circuit breaker, transformer, cable and Gas Insulated Switchgears (GIS), etc.
3.3 Toxic decomposition products
The production of SF6 gas is accompanied by various toxic gases which may be mixed into the gas product; SF6 gas in electrical apparatus still will produce various toxic and corrosive gases and solid decomposition products through the action of electrical corona, spark and arc discharge. These gases mainly are thionyl sulfide (SOF2), sulfuryl fluoride (SO2F2), sulfur tetrafluoride (SF4), sulphonyl tetrafluoride (SOF4), sulfur dioxide (SO2), disulfur decafluoride (S2F10) and disulfuryl decafluoride (S2F10O); the solid decomposition products mainly are copper fluoride (CuF2), dimethyl silicone difluoride [Si(CH3)2F2] and aluminum fluoride (AlF3) powder. See Appendix A for the permissible contents of toxic decomposition products in work place.
3.4 Purifying handle for SF6 gas
The toxic decomposition products in SF6 gas may be absorbed with adsorbent, or may be eliminated through chemical reaction with acid solution or alkali solution, and this process of eliminating the toxic decomposition products in SF6 gas with various methods is named as purifying handle for SF6 gas.
