Liquid chlorine storing

Liquidgasg - 29-12-2014 at 07:55

Hello l have made about 7 ml of liquefied chlorine gas but now l need to store it, but l don't know how to store it so can you suggest how to store it without metallic cylinder?:)

Thick-walled glass ampoule. Seal it with bunsen burner when the chlorine is well below its boiling point.

That and use the search engine next time.

I've seen similar things cast into a block of Perspex. Perhaps you could do something similar?

Sounds like a good idea to me. Removes the chance of a nasty accident on a hot summers day. There are clear resins you can buy that set rock hard in a room temperature process.

your ampoule will need to withstand around 10 atm at typical house temperatures. I am hoping to produce liq Cl some time soon, when I get a bit organised. note there are several threads about Cl production techniques fyi
