Tóm tắt

Dibenzoyl peroxide (BPO) has been widely employed in the petrifaction industry. This study determined the unsafe characteristics of organic peroxide mixed with incompatible materials so as to help prevent runaway reactions, fires or explosions in the process environment. Thermal activity monitor III (TAM III) was applied to assess the kinetic parameters, such as kinetic model, reaction order, heat of reaction (ΔH d), activation energy (E a), and pre-exponential factor (k 0), etc. Meanwhile, TAM III was used to analyze the thermokinetic parameters and safety indices of BPO and contaminated with sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH). Simulations of a 0.5 L Dewar vessel and 25 kg commercial package in green thermal analysis technology were performed and compared to the thermal stability. From these, the optimal conditions were determined to avoid violent reactions in incompatible materials that cause runaway reactions in storage, transportation, and manufacturing.
