Solid Mixers, Blenders and Reactors

While it is rarely possible to add solids first, in certain cases it might be possible to reduce flammability hazards by planned sequential additions of solids and liquids, the objective being to avoid additions of easily ignitable powders where the solvent vapor exceeds about 50% LFL. Hybrid mixtures are discussed in 6-1.3.
