10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactions
Combustible when exposed to heat or flame.ISODECYL ALCOHOL attacks plastics. REF [Handling Chemicals Safely, 1980. p. 236]. Acetyl bromide reacts violently with alcohols or water, [Merck 11th ed., 1989]. Mixtures of alcohols with concentrated sulfuric acid and strong hydrogen peroxide can cause explosions. Example: An explosion will occur if dimethylbenzylcarbinol is added to 90% hydrogen peroxide then acidified with concentrated sulfuric acid. Mixtures of ethyl alcohol with concentrated hydrogen peroxide form powerful explosives. Mixtures of hydrogen peroxide and 1-phenyl-2-methyl propyl alcohol tend to explode if acidified with 70% sulfuric acid, [Chem. Eng. News 45(43):73(1967); J, Org. Chem. 28:1893(1963)]. Alkyl hypochlorites are violently explosive. They are readily obtained by reacting hypochlorous acid and alcohols either in aqueous solution or mixed aqueous-carbon tetrachloride solutions. Chlorine plus alcohols would similarly yield alkyl hypochlorites. They decompose in the cold and explode on exposure to sunlight or heat. Tertiary hypochlorites are less unstable than secondary or primary hypochlorites, [NFPA 491 M, 1991]. Base-catalysed reactions of isocyanates with alcohols should be carried out in inert solvents. Such reactions in the absence of solvents often occur with explosive violence, [Wischmeyer(1969)].

12.2 Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: In sewage, isodecyl alcohol gave a theoretical oxygen demand of 24, 44, 42 and 39 percent in 5, 10, 15 and 20 days, respectively(1). In acclimated sewage isodecyl alcohol gave theoretical oxygen demand of 14, 26, 45 and 32 percent in 5, 10, 15 and 20 days, respectively(1). Isodecyl alcohol gave theoretical oxygen demand of 6, 17, 34 and 40 percent in 5, 10, 15 and 20 days, respectively, in seawater(1). In a manometric study of poorly soluble compounds, isodecyl alcohol degraded 17.4 and 22.4 percent of ultimate BOD/theoretical oxygen demand with 10 minutes of sonification(2).
12.3 Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 145 was calculated for isodecyl alcohol(SRC), using an estimated log Kow of 3.71(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is high(SRC), provided the compound is not metabolized by the organism(SRC).
12.4 Mobility in soil
Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of isodecyl alcohol can be estimated to be 81(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that isodecyl alcohol is expected to have high mobility in soil.
12.5 Other adverse effects
no data available
SECTION 13: Disposal considerations
13.1 Disposal methods
Product
The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.
Contaminated packaging
Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
