1. Identification Material Name: Calomel (Mercurous Chloride) with Sulfuric Acid CAS Nos. 10112‐91‐1 (Mercurous Chloride), 7664‐93‐9 (Concentrated Sulfuric Acid) Chemical Formula(s): Mercurous Chloride (Hg2Cl2), Sulfuric Acid (H2SO4) Description: The calomel produced in the Barrick Goldstrike Roasting process is mercurous chloride (very low solubility) with sulfuric acid. The material is a corrosive, toxic material that separates into two distinct phases when allowed to settle. Sulfuric acid (specific gravity = 1.841), containing a small amount of mercury, will rise to the top in a container. The mercurous chloride (specific gravity = 7.15), containing some sulfuric acid, will settle to the bottom. 2. Hazard identification 3. Composition/information on ingredient CAS# Chemical Name Percent EINECS/ELINCS 10112‐91‐1 Mercurous chloride >99.5 231‐430‐9 4. First-aid measures Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid. Skin: Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Ingestion: Call a poison control center. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid. Inhalation: Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid. Do NOT use mouth‐to‐mouth resuscitation. If breathing has ceased apply artificial respiration using oxygen and a suitable mechanical device such as a bag and a mask. Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively. Antidote: The use of Dimercaprol of BAL (British Anti‐Lewisite) as a chelating agent should be determined by qualified medical personnel.
5. Fire-fighting measures General Information: As in any fire, wear a self‐contained breathing apparatus in pressure‐demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Extinguishing Media: Substance is noncombustible; use agent most appropriate to extinguish surrounding fire. Flash point: Not applicable Autoignition Temperature: Not applicable. Explosion Limits‐ Lower: Not available. Upper: Not available. NFPA Rating: (estimated) Health: 2; Flammability: 0; Instability: 0 6. Accidental release measures General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8. Spills/Leaks: Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal container. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Provide ventilation. 7. Handling and storage Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Do not get on skin and clothing. Do not ingest or inhale. Storage: Keep away from sources of ignition. Do not store in direct sunlight. Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, well‐ventilated area away from incompatible substances. 8. Exposure controls/personal protection Engineering Controls: Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate general or local explosion‐proof ventilation to keep airborne levels to acceptable levels. Exposure Limits: Chemical Name ACGIH NIOSH OSHA‐ Final PELs Mercury(I) chloride 0.025 mg/m3 TWA (as Hg) (listed under Mercuty inorganic compounds). Skin‐ potential significant contribution to overall exposure by the cutaneous route (listed under Mercury inorganic compounds). 0.05 mg/m3 TWA (vapor, except organo alkyls, as Hg) (listed under Mercury compounds). 10 mg/m3 IDLH (as Hg, except organo(alkyl) compounds) (listed under Mercury compounds). none listed OSHA Vacated PELs: Mercury (I) chloride: No OSHA Vacated PELs are listed for this chemical.
