Fireworks manufacturers

Strontium metal is responsible for the red color in fireworks. Fireworks manufacturers use strontium carbonate, which can be produced by combining strontium metal, graphite (C), and oxygen gas. The formation of one mole of SrC03 releases 1220 X 103 k) of energy. 

The colors of fireworks displays are produced by emission from atomic ions as described in Chapter 7. The explosions of fireworks promote electrons to excited states. The energy level scheme of every element is different, so fireworks manufacturers can change colors by incorporating different elements. Sodium ions emit... 

In firework manufacture the use of gunpowder for priming pressed compositions containing chlorates can also be questioned on the grounds of chemical incompatibility. Sulfuric acid is known to react with chlorates to form chloric acid, HCIO3, which would be avoided by the use of sulfurless gunpowder. 

On the other hand, fireworks manufactured within the UK were controlled by factory licensing and statutory inspections by the Explosives Inspectors. 

However, potassium chlorate has been involved in a large percentage of the serious accidents at fireworks manufacturing... 

The production of brilliant sparks is one of the principal effects available to the fireworks manufacturer and to the "special effects" industry. Sparks occur during the burning of many pyrotechnic compositions, and they may or may not be a desired feature.

Potassium chlorate becomes quite sensitive in contact with red phosphorus and ignites very easily by friction. These properties are used in match. When it is mixed with sulphur or compounds of sulphur like realgar, antimony trisulphide etc., the sensitivity to shock or friction is highly increased. According to the late professor S.Yamamoto of Tokyo University, when a mixture of potassium chlorate and realgar was shaped into a small tablet in a hand press and left on a table, a little while later the tablet caused spontaneous ignition and burnt out. He tried the same tests sevejjral times and the results were the same. He concluded that it was caused by inner friction which occurs with the recovery of the stress produced by the press(s.

V/hen potassium perchlorate is added to hydrochloric acid or nitric acid, it causes no reaction. With cone, sulphuric acid it smells only slightly of CIO this is caused by some impurity such as KCl. The mixture of potassium perchlorate, and sulphide cannot be immediately ignited by adding cone, sulphuric acid this is a principal difference from the potassium chlorate mixtureCS.Yamamoto Studies in safety in firework manufacture, I, p.2 (1959)) ... 

Manufacture Industrially on a large scale charcoal is manufactured by dry distillation in an iron vessel. In Japan for firework use it is produced in an earth oven. Firework manufacturers build this oven to obtain a charcoal which suits their own taste. 

The author also heard of another accident which occurred using this type of mixer the construction of the tips and the furnishing of the shaft may be the problem. This type of machine has come into firework manufacture from other industries, but it is not very safe. A modified type for the exclusive use of firework compositions must be used. In this case it must be remembered that the mixer degenerates gradually due to the biased load and this may cause dangerous cracks in some parts. 

Pasting is peculiar to Japanese firework manufacture. Stars are allowed to grow into a spherical shape by sprinkling the powder of a composition on to core grains. This process is popularly applied for the manufacture of colour changing stars used for the Warimono shells Chrysanthemum. In Japan maximum effort is made in the production of stars of this kind. 

The toy firework manufacturer is always required to devise a new type of toy and the matrix method described here shows something of the fundamental principles for manufacturers. 

Materials and labour enter into the left(debit) side and come out of the right(credit) side as finished goods. Practically energies like power or heat and the loss of tools, furniture, fixtures and structures should be added to the left side, but these are quite small in firework manufacture-The operations which move the left side elements to the right are almost all physical and are seldom chemical. For example, the manufacture of potassium picrate as the material for whistles or the nitration of pitch for black snakes belong to the chemical operation. 

For example in the manufacture of round stars or paper pasting the outside of chrysanthemum shells. This may be characteristic to firework manufacture and quite laborious. The half-finished pieces are apt to be accumulated in workrooms and the stagnation of the flow of the compositions is enlarged. 

Recently some firework factories have been compelled to move to a new remote place because of the rapid increase in the local population. At the new site, the water, the climate, and the people are unfamiliar, and present risks in firework manufacture. 

The readers perhaps notice in Table 28 the fact that, if materials which give a high sensitivity like red phosphorus, realgar, sulphur, antimony trisulphide etc. are rejected from firework compositions, firework manufacture is made much safer. In these circumstances devices are always necessary, the problem being that without these materials ignition can be difficult in fireworks. This is one of the most important themes in fireworks.

There is nothing to prevent the firework manufacturers from using military-type propellants, of course, and this is exactly what the Russians do when making rockets to reach astonishing heights in firework displays above the tall buildings in Moscow. 

Self-ignition under the influence of moisture has another and more complex aspect, which often has plagued fireworks manufacturers in the past. In fireworks formulas with chlorate and sulfur, the oxidation...
