Oxidizer concentration effect

The classical experiment tracks the off-gas composition as a function of temperature at fixed residence time and oxidant level. Treating feed disappearance as first order, the pre-exponential factor and activation energy, E, in the Arrhenius expression (eq. 35) can be obtained. These studies tend to confirm large activation energies typical of the bond mpture mechanism assumed earlier. However, an accelerating effect of the oxidant is also evident in some results, so that the thermal mpture mechanism probably overestimates the time requirement by as much as several orders of magnitude (39). Measurements at several levels of oxidant concentration are useful for determining how important it is to maintain spatial uniformity of oxidant concentration in the incinerator. 

Computer Models, The actual residence time for waste destmction can be quite different from the superficial value calculated by dividing the chamber volume by the volumetric flow rate. The large activation energies for chemical reaction, and the sensitivity of reaction rates to oxidant concentration, mean that the presence of cold spots or oxidant deficient zones render such subvolumes ineffective. Poor flow patterns, ie, dead zones and bypassing, can also contribute to loss of effective volume. The tools of computational fluid dynamics (qv) are useful in assessing the extent to which the actual profiles of velocity, temperature, and oxidant concentration deviate from the ideal (40). 

As in dry compounding, acid acceptors must be incorporated into neoprene latices because of the wide use of these latices in coating fabrics and metals. The hydrochloric acid that forms during service life has a particularly destmetive effect on coated cotton fabrics that are not adequately protected. High zinc oxide concentration (ca 15 parts) and use of 0.4 parts AJ-phenyl-AT(p-toluenesulfonyl)-/)-phenylenediamine (Aranox, Uniroyal) as an antioxidant provides adequate protection. 

Concentration Effects. The reactivity of ethyl alcohol—water mixtures has been correlated with three distinct alcohol concentration ranges (35,36). For example, the chromium trioxide oxidation of ethyl alcohol (37), the catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (38), and the sensitivities of coUoidal particles to coagulation (39) are characteristic for ethyl alcohol concentrations of 25—30%, 40—60%, and above 60% alcohol, respectively. The effect of various catalysts also differs for different alcohol concentrations (35). 

This book covers many aspects of DBA design, selection, specification, installadon, and maintenance. It explains how varions types of flame arresters differ, how they are constrncted, and how they work, ft also describes when a flame arrester is an effective solntion for mitigation of deflagrations and detonations, and other means of protection (e.g., oxidant concentration rednction) that may be nsed. It also briefly covers some aspects of dnst deflagration protection. 

With the exception of iron(II) and uranium(IV), the reduced solutions are extremely unstable and readily re-oxidise upon exposure to air. They are best stabilised in a five-fold excess of a solution of 150g of ammonium iron(III) sulphate and 150 mL of concentrated sulphuric acid per litre [approximately 0.3M with respect to iron] contained in the filter flask. The iron(II) formed is then titrated with a standard solution of a suitable oxidising agent. Titanium and chromium are completely oxidised and produce an equivalent amount of iron(II) sulphate molybdenum is re-oxidised to the Mo(V) (red) stage, which is fairly stable in air, and complete oxidation is effected by the permanganate, but the net result is the same, viz. Mo(III)- Mo(VI) vanadium is re-oxidised to the V(IV), condition, which is stable in air, and the final oxidation is completed by slow titration with potassium permanganate solution or with cerium(IV) sulphate solution.

MRR increases continuously during the entire testing oxidizer concentration as shown in Fig. 36(c), which is consentaneous with the Stein s results [ 106], and this may be due to the stronger chemical corrosion effect at high oxidizer concentration. In addition, it should be noticed that varia-...

A reaction of ozone provides an example of concentration effects. Ozone in the atmosphere near the Earth s surface is a serious pollutant that damages soft tissues such as the lungs. In major urban areas, smog alerts are issued whenever there are elevated concentrations of ozone in the lower atmosphere. Nitmgen oxide, another component of photochemical smog, is a colorless gas produced in a side reaction in automobile engines. One reaction that links these species is the reaction of NO and O3 to produce O2 and NO2 ...

In a review of the course and mechanism of the catalytic decomposition of ammonium perchlorate, the considerable effects of metal oxides in reducing the explosion temperature of the salt are described [1], Solymosi s previous work had shown reductions from 440° to about 270° by dichromium trioxide, to 260° by 10 mol% of cadmium oxide and to 200°C by 0.2% of zinc oxide. The effect of various concentrations of copper chromite , copper oxide, iron oxide and potassium permanganate on the catalysed combustion of the propellant salt was studied [2], Similar studies on the effects of compounds of 11 metals and potassium dichromate in particular, have been reported [3], Presence of calcium carbonate or calcium oxide has a stabilising effect on the salt, either alone or in admixture with polystyrene [4],...
