Runaway reactions, their courses, and the methods to establish safe process conditions / Jean Louis Gustin

Sumario: The purpose of this paper is to describe the various process deviations which can cause a runaway reaction to occur, and to discuss the experimental information necessary for risk assessment, the choice of a safe process, and the mitigation of the consequences of the runaway reaction. Ten typical hazardous process situations have been identified, considering various modes of initiation, homogeneous and heterogeneous, Arrhenius, and autocatalytic reactions. Each possible hazardous process deviation is illustrated by examples from the process industry and/or relevant experimental information obtained from laboratory experiments
