Organic synthesis of raw materials, mainly used to produce Freon (F-21, F-22, F-23), dyes and drugs, in medicine, commonly used as anesthetics. Can be used as antibiotics, spices, grease, resin, rubber solvents and extractants. Mixed with carbon tetrachloride can be made of non-freezing fire-retardant liquid. Also used aerosol propellant, cereal fumigant and calibration temperature standard solution. Industrial products usually add a small amount of ethanol, the generated phosgene and ethanol to produce non-toxic diethyl carbonate. Use industrial products before adding a small amount of concentrated sulfuric acid shaken washed, dried by calcium chloride or potassium carbonate, you can get ethanol-free chloroform
