Low pressure. Low pressures are not in general as hazardous as the other extreme operating conditions. However, one particular hazard that does exist in low-pressure plants handling flammable materials is the possible ingress of air with the consequent formation of a flammable mixture.

The catalytic vapor-phase oxidation of propylene is generally carried out in a fixed-bed multitube reactor at near atmospheric pressures and elevated temperatures (ca 350°C) molten salt is used for temperature control. Air is commonly used as the oxygen source and steam is added to suppress the formation of flammable gas mixtures. Operation can be single pass or a recycle stream may be employed. Recent interest has focused on improving process efficiency and minimizing process wastes by defining process improvements that use recycle of process gas streams and/or use of new reaction diluents (20-24). 

The danger of an explosion of a nitrated product generally increases as the degree of nitration increases, eg, trinitroaromatics are more hazardous as compared to dinitroaromatics or especially mononitroaromatics. Nitroaromatics and some polynitrated paraffins are highly toxic when inhaled or when contacted with the skin. AH nitrated compounds tend to be highly flammable. 

Health and Safety Factors, Toxicology. Because low molecular weight phosphines generally are spontaneously flammable, they must be stored and handled in an inert atmosphere. The upper explosion limit is 1.6% and the upper limit is near 100% (93). The higher and less volatile homologues are more slowly oxidized by air and present less of a problem. 

Waste facihties should be designed to prevent explosions in sewer systems and typically are comprised of suitable traps, vents, clean-outs, collecting chambers, etc. Flammable gas detectors are installed in sewers to warn of ha2ardous concentrations, and inert gas blanketing of closed process sumps generally is advisable. 

Generally, it is more economical to prevent explosive atmospheres ia rooms than to try to provide explosion-proof electrical equipment. Personnel should never be allowed to work ia a ha2ardous atmosphere. Where such an atmosphere cannot be avoided through control of flammable Hquids, gases, and dusts, access to the area iavolved should be limited and the area segregated by hoods or special ventilation. Electrical equipment on open, outdoor stmctures more than 8 m above-ground usually is considered free from exposure to more than temporary, local explosive mixtures near leaks (86). 

Halogenated 2-propanol derivatives, eg, l,3-dichloro-2-propanol [96-23-1], are generally prepared from glycerol [56-81-5] (qv). These materials are used in the preparation of halogen-containing phosphates to plasticize and lower the flammability of plastics, eg, polyurethanes and ceUulosics.
