  • thermal explosion and runaway reaction simulation of Lauroyl Peroxide by dsc tests
    Journal of Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry, 2009
    Co-Authors: Sheng-hung Wu
    Abstract:

    Lauroyl Peroxide (LPO) is a typical organic Peroxide that has caused many thermal runaway reactions and explosions. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was employed to determine the fundamental thermokinetic parameters that involved exothermic onset temperature (T0), heat of decomposition (ΔHd), and other safety parameters for loss prevention of runaway reactions and thermal explosions. Frequency factor (A) and activation energy (Ea) were calculated by Kissinger model, Ozawa equation, and thermal safety software (TSS) series via DSC experimental data. Liquid thermal explosion (LTE) by TSS was employed to simulate the thermal explosion development for various types of storage tank. In view of loss prevention, calorimetric application and model analysis to integrate thermal hazard development were necessary and useful for inherently safer design.

  • Thermal stability of Lauroyl Peroxide by isoconversional kinetics evaluation and finite element analysis
    Journal of The Taiwan Institute of Chemical Engineers, 2014
    Co-Authors: Na Zang, Xin-ming Qian, Jia-yu Liao, Chi-min Shu
    Abstract:

    Abstract Lauroyl Peroxide (LPO) is a commonly used organic Peroxide that has caused many thermal runaway reactions and explosions worldwide. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to investigate the thermal decomposition of LPO and its exothermic onset temperature, reaction heat, and other safety parameters for prevention of runaway reactions and thermal explosions. Pre-exponential factor and apparent activation energy were determined by Friedman isoconversional method, which demonstrates that the decomposition of LPO shows a multi-step nature. The kinetic parameters and heat balance were analyzed and used for simulation of the adiabatic behavior time to maximum rate under adiabatic conditions (TMRad) and self-accelerating decomposition temperature (SADT). When the initial temperature is 32.7 °C, TMRad equals 24 h and calculated SADT of LPO is 45 °C. Application of finite element analysis (FEA) and accurate kinetic description allows determining the effect of scale, geometry, heat transfer, thermal conductivity, and ambient temperature on the heat accumulation. The reaction progress (α) and temperature distribution can be determined quantitatively at every point in time and space. This information is essential for the design of containers of LPO, cooling systems, and the measures to be taken in the event of a cooling failure.

  • Evaluation of thermal hazard for Lauroyl Peroxide by VSP2 and TAM III
    Journal of Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry, 2012
    Co-Authors: Jian-ming Wei, Mei-li You, Yung-chuan Chu, Chi-min Shu
    Abstract:

    When above certain temperature limits, Lauroyl Peroxide is an unstable material. If the thermal source cannot be properly governed during any stage in the preparation, manufacturing process, storage or transport, runaway reactions may inevitably be induced immediately. In this study, the influence of runaway reactions on its basic thermal characteristic was assessed by evaluating thermokinetic parameters, such as activation energy ( E _a) and frequency factor ( A ) by thermal activity monitor III (TAM III). This was achieved under five isothermal conditions of 50, 60, 70, 80, and 90 °C. Vent sizing package 2 (VSP2) was employed to determine the maximum pressure ( P _max), maximum temperature ( T _ma x ), maximum self-heating rate ((d T  d t ^−1)_max), maximum pressure rise rate ((d P  d t ^−1)_max), and isothermal time to maximum rate (( TMR )_iso) under the worst case. Results of this study will be provided to relevant plants for adopting best practices in emergency response or accident control.

  • Thermal Hazard Evaluation of Lauroyl Peroxide Mixed with Nitric Acid
    Molecules, 2012
    Co-Authors: Lung-chang Tsai, Mei-li You, Mei-fang Ding, Chi-min Shu
    Abstract:

    Many thermal runaway incidents have been caused by organic Peroxides due to the peroxy group, -O-O-, which is essentially unstable and active. Lauroyl Peroxide (LPO) is also sensitive to thermal sources and is incompatible with many materials, such as acids, bases, metals, and ions. From the thermal decomposition reaction of various concentrations of nitric acid (HNO3) (from lower to higher concentrations) with LPO, experimental data were obtained as to its exothermic onset temperature (T0), heat of decomposition (ΔHd), isothermal time to maximum rate (TMRiso), and other safety parameters exclusively for loss prevention of runaway reactions and thermal explosions. As a novel finding, LPO mixed with HNO3 can produce the detonation product of 1-nitrododecane. We used differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermal activity monitor III (TAM III), and gas chromatography/mass spectrometer (GC/MS) analyses of the reactivity for LPO and itself mixed with HNO3 to corroborate the decomposition reactions and reaction mechanisms in these investigations.

  • Runaway reaction of Lauroyl Peroxide with nitric acid by DSC
    Journal of Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry, 2010
    Co-Authors: Mei-li You, Jo-ming Tseng, Ming-yang Liu, Chi-min Shu
    Abstract:

    Pooling Lauroyl Peroxide (LPO) with nitric acid, we used differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to assess the thermokinetic parameters, such as exothermic onset temperature ( T _0), heat of decomposition (Δ H _d), frequency factor ( A ), and the other safety parameters. When LPO was contaminated with nitric acid (HNO_3), we found the exploder 1-nitrododecane. Obvious products were sensitive and hazardous chemicals. Concentration reaching 1–12 N HNO_3 emitted a large amount of heat. This study combined with curve-fitting method to elucidate its unsafe characteristics and thermally sensitive structure to help prevent runaway reactions, fires and explosions in the process environment. According to the findings and the concept of inherently safer design, LPO runaway reactions could be adequately prevented in the relevant plants.

  • Synthesis and optical properties of water-soluble poly(vinylpyrrolidone) - modified fullerene C_60
    Polymer Bulletin, 2008
    Co-Authors: Edina Rusen, Bogdan Marculescu, Nicoleta Preda, Cristina Bucur, Lucian Mihut
    Abstract:

    The effect of fullerene on the radical polymerization of N-vinylpyrrolidone with Lauroyl Peroxide in toluene was investigated kinetically. C_60 was found to act both as inhibitor and as retarder because the polymerization rate and the molecular weight of resulting poly(vinylpyrrolidone) is decreasing with the increase of the fullerene concentration (0-6.94 x 10^-4 mol l^-1). The water-soluble poly(vinylpyrrolidone)-modified fullerene C_60 compound was characterized by differential scanning calorimetric, Infrared and Raman spectroscopy, UV absorption and photoluminescence. Based on the results obtained by optical measurements, it is argued that by the covalent attachment of the polymeric radicals to fullerene cage the extended electronic conjugation system of the C_60 is broken leading to the appearance of a polyene structure.
