Specific Safety Aspects of Autocatalytic Reactions

Autocatalytic reactions are by definition catalyzed by their reaction products. Thus, fresh material can be contaminated when mixed with material that underwent 

Worked Example 12.2 Kinetic Study of an Autocatalytic Decomposition 

Potential With a specific heat capacity of 1.7kj kg 1K the adiabatic temperature rise is 

the severity is High and the probability of triggering the decomposition must be assessed. 

As a first attempt, the zero-order approximation may be used. Hence the activation energy is calculated from the maximum heat release rates
