Carbon disulfide autoignition temperature

Anon., ABCM Quart. Safety Summ., 1943, 14, 18 Commercial iron carbonyl (fl.p.35°C) has an autoignition temperature in contact with brass of 93°C, lower than that of carbon disulfide. 

Carbon disulfide is highly flammable and has an autoignition temperature of 212°F. 

Carbon disulfide is an extremely flammable liquid, the closed cup flash point being -22°F (-30°C). Its autoignition temperature is 90°C (194°F). Its vapors form explosive mixtures with air, within a wide range of 1.3 to 50.0% by volume in air. Reactions with certain substances can progress to explosive violence. They include finely divided metals, alkali metals, azides, fulminates, and nitrogen dioxide. 

CARBON DISULFIDE or CARBON DISULPHIDE (75-15-0) CSj Extremely flammable extremely low ignition temperature makes it very dangerous. Forms explosive mixture with air [explosion limits in air (vol %) 1.3 to 50 flash point -22°F/-30°C autoignition temp 194°F/90°C Fire Rating 3]. Highly reactive substance. Shock, friction, or concussion can cause explosive decomposition. Contact with... 

Carbon disulfide is a dangerous Are hazard. Its flash point and autoignition temperature are notably low. A laboratory hot plate or even a light bulb can ignite the vapors on contact. Fire-extinguishing agent dry chemical or CO2 water and foam are ineffective water may be used to keep fire-exposed containers cool. 

Ignition Temperature. The ignition (or autoignition) temperature of a substance --solid, liquid, or gas -- is the minimum temperature required to initiate self-sustained combustion. Some ignition temperatures can be quite low (for example, carbon disulfide at 90 C (1940F).
