About Diethyl Ether. Diethyl Ether (a.k.a. DEE, Ethoxyethane, Ethyl Ether) is a colorless, volatile, and highly flammable liquid with an ethereal odor. It is used extensively as a solvent in both industrial and academic research laboratories and it is a starting fluid for some engines. It used to be an important inhalation anesthetic agent until non-flammable drugs were developed.

Diethyl ether should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, as ether vapor creeps along the ground. It must be kept away from oxidizing chemicals and sunlight. Diethyl ether is stored in mild steel containers. Blanketing with nitrogen is recommended but not essential. Tin-plate cans, mild steel drums, and aluminum containers are suitable for transportation. The fact that ether is a poor conductor of electricity presents a further hazard because static electrical charge can be generated in flowing ether. Therefore, the flow rate of ether must be restricted. Pipelines and pumps must be grounded (earthed), and flanged joints must be bridged by a conductor. When diethyl ether is poured or transferred from one container to another, both containers must also be grounded. In no event should air pressure be used. It must be appropriately labeled for transportation.

Raw materials and the respective production processes employed in the manufacturing of Diethyl Ether are listed below.

  • Ethylene (catalytic hydration; byproduct of ethanol production)

The uses and applications of Diethyl Ether may vary according to its specification. The main forms of Diethyl Ether are United States Pharmacopeia (USP) grade; American Chemical Society (ACS) reagent grade; American Chemical Society (ACS) absolute grade; chemically pure (CP) grade; concentrated; United States Pharmacopeia (USP) 1880 grade; washed; motor; and electronic.
