General
Synonyms: zinc bis(acetato-O)dioxouranate, zinc uranyl acetate
Use:
Molecular formula: ZnUO4(CH3COO)2
CAS No: 10138-94-0
EINECS No: 233-390-8
Physical data
Appearance: yellow crystalline solid
Melting point:
Boiling point:
Vapour density:

3. Hazards identification
Very toxic by inhalation and if swallowed. Danger of cumulative effects.
4. First aid measures
EYE CONTACT: Irrigate thoroughly with water for at least 10 minutes. OBTAIN MEDICAL
ATTENTION.
INHALATION: Remove from exposure, rest and keep warm. In severe cases, or if exposure has been
great, OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION.
SKIN CONTACT: Drench the skin thoroughly with water. Remove contaminated clothing and wash
before re-use. Unless contact has been slight, OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION.
INGESTION: Wash out mouth thoroughly with water and give plenty of water to drink. OBTAIN
MEDICAL ATTENTION.
5. Fire-fighting measures
Special risks:
Not readily combustible.
The following may develop in event of fire: radioactive dust.
Suitable extinguishing media:
Water spray, foam, dry powder or carbon dioxide
6. Accidental release measures
Wear appropriate protective clothing. Inform others to keep at a safe distance.
Mix solids with wet sand and absorb liquids on an inert absorbent, and transfer carefully to sealed
container. Arrange for removal by disposal company. Wash site of spillage thoroughly with water and
detergent.
For large spillages liquids should be contained with sand or earth and both liquids and solids transferred
to salvage containers. Any residues should be treated as for small spillages.
7. Handling and storage
Handling:
Observe national regulations.
Wash hands and face thoroughly after working with material. Contaminated clothing should be
removed and washed before re-use.
Storage:
Observe national regulations.
Store at room temperature (15 to 25°C recommended).
Keep locked up and in metal outer container.
8. Exposure controls/personal protection
Engineering methods to control or prevent exposure are preferred. Methods could include process
enclosure or mechanical ventilation.
Respirator: Self-contained breathing apparatus
Ventilation: Extraction hood
Gloves: Rubber or plastic
Eye Protection: Goggles or face-shield
Other Precautions: Chemical worker`s protective suit, boots.
