Assessing the Severity of Runaway Reactions
Abstract
Highly reactive substances might undergo undesired exothermic (runaway) reactions during transport, storage, or their chemical process. Major accidents may be triggered by this loss of thermal control in the system. Therefore, process safety issues related to chemical reaction hazards need to be systematically recognized and classified. The existing methodologies for risk assessment of hazardous materials are typically based on standard experimental activities, essentially calorimetry, rather than appropriated analysis, which is time ...
