    Notes: Abstract We first recall the observational and theoretical facts that constitute the so-called 3He problem. We then review the chemical anomalies that could be related to the destruction of 3He in red giants stars. We show how a simple consistent mechanism can lead to the destruction of 3He in low mass stars and simultaneously account for the low 12C/13C ratios and low lithium abundances observed in giant stars of different populations. This process should both naturally account for the recent measurements of 3He/H in galactic HII regions and allow for high values of 3He observed in some planetary nebulae. We propose a simple statistical estimation of the fraction of stars that may be affected by this process.

    Notes: Recent guidelines released by the U.S. EPA define a worst-case scenario as a release under stable atmospheric conditions defined as Pasquil-Gifford stability class F. Unfortunately, very few tests at F stability have been available heretofore to provide a basis for models. Recent test data with propane releases by the German research organization TUV provide a set of 60 experiments conducted specifically to define the effects of atmospheric stability class on dispersion. Of these, 25 tests were at F stability. A comparable number were at each other stability class A through E. In addition 23 tests were at wind speeds under 1.5 m/s in stable atmospheres. This paper reports on adjustments made to our models based on these new data by reducing the originally-postulated sensitivity to stability class. In spite of considerable scatter in the TUV data, particularly between two different types of propane analyzers, the model allows us to extract information by averaging over the tests.

    Notes: The design and deflagration pressure relief vents is based on correlations developed for various types of combustible materials and for enclosures of different strengths. The primary guideline for deflagration vent design in the US is NFPA 68 Guide for Venting of Deflagrations [5]. That document gives guidance for the design of vents for enclosures containing flammable gases, specifically hydrogen, coke oven gas, propane, and methane. Application of the guide to other gases is achieved using the KG value. Values of KG are published for a relatively small number of gases, as seen in Table D-1 of NFPA 68. This work present KG data on several additional gases obtained in a laboratory scale test vessel along with analysis of the results with respect to published values of fundamental burning velocity.

    Notes: Most audits try to look at a representative selection of the plant procedures and equipment. An alternative is a survey, a look in depth at selected procedures (such as those for testing alarms and trips, issuing permits-to-work, controlling modifications, taking samples or testing relief devices) or selected equipment (such as level glasses or equipment for handling LPG). If the procedure or equipment is well-chosen, surveys may make a bigger contribution to safety, per person-hour, than a conventional audit.

    Notes: A multi-disciplinary team developed a guideline for determining access restriction zones around vented solids handling equipment. The guideline provides a method for ensuring the discharge from a vented explosion will not cause injury to personnel. The steps in this method include: calculating the extent of external hazards from vented explosions; identifying potential areas where personnel could be exposed to a hazard; identifying ways to eliminate or reduce the hazard area; and establishing and documenting any access restrictions needed. Hazard zone calculations use the latest knowledge from research into fireball size, flame length and external pressure equations in VDI 3673. The guideline provides guidance for using this information. Options for mitigating or reducing external hazards from vented explosions are also described. As part of the project, the team audited several solids handling systems to look for potential oversights in existing restricted access areas. Some of the team's learnings from these audits are reviewed.

    Notes: An explosion and flash fire in a fixed bed reactor occurred at a municipal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). Two employees were injured in the accident. The accident occurred in an ozone treatment building where ozone was used to treat odors from the offgas of the sludge concentration units. Excess ozone manually was routed to the fixed bed reactor (ozone destruct unit) where the ozone is catalytically transformed into oxygen before being discharged to the atmosphere.An investigation of the accident was conducted to determine the root cause of the explosion and flash fire and identify corrective actions which the WWTP management could undertake to prevent a recurrence. This investigation included site inspections, interview with the injured employees, sampling and analysis of various materials, an explosion dynamics analysis, and a root cause analysis.It was concluded that cooling oil from one of the ozone generation units entered the main ozone gas line due to a crack in one of the reactor's dielectric tubes. The cooling oil was vented into the ozone destruct unit when an employee opened a ball valve on the main ozone gas line. The cooling oil, essentially a saturated hydrocarbon mixture, reacted exothermically when it contacted the manganese dioxide catalyst. The exothermic reaction resulted in an explosion which propelled the access panel outwards and dispersed the catalyst pellets. A flash fire followed the explosion. The flash fire burned two employees and caused thermal damage to a nearby control panel.Although this accident was the first of its kind at this facility, this was not the first time that the ozone generator had experienced a failure of a dielectric tube. Thus, there was a significant probability that a dielectric tube failure could leak cooling oil into the main ozone gas line. This failure event could, in turn, result in another explosion and flash fire. The WWTP staff neither designed nor fabricated the ozone generator-destructor system. Therefore, it did not seem appropriate for the WWTP staff to modify the ozone system. Instead, it was recommended that the ozone destruct unit be taken out of service. The WWTP management acted on this recommendation.

    Notes: A large and potentially hazardous decrease in aldehyde autoignition temperature (AIT) occurs with increased pressure. The AIT-pressure curve determined in a 5 L stainless steel sphere was similar for propionaldehyde and butyraldehyde in air, falling from about 185°C at atmospheric pressure to 90°C at 140 psia. Reduction of oxygen concentration had little effect on propionaldehyde AIT. At 100°C and 140 psia, autoignitions accompanied by at least a doubling of pressure were observed above 4% oxygen. In the presence of a few grams of free liquid, propionaldehyde vapor ignited in air at initial conditions significantly below the AIT. The mechanism appears to involve rapid Fe-catalyzed exothermic liquid-phase oxidation leading to autoignition of the adjacent heated gas layer. An acetaldehyde vapor-air mixture in the presence of free liquid and rust exploded at room temperature when air pressure was increased to 95 psia; this result is discussed with reference to a cylinder overpressurization that occurred while making up an ostensibly sub-LFL calibration mixture with compressed air. Propionaldehyde's limiting oxygen concentration (LOC) was investigated in the near-autoignition region using the same 5L apparatus; the findings are discussed with reference to an overpressurization incident in an air-liquid partial oxidation reactor. The general results are used to illustrate the application of LOC in partial oxidation processes subject to autoignition and to discuss elements of the current ASTM draft test method for LOC, which does not address test difficulties associated with condensable and/or reactive gas systems.

    Notes: This article deals with fire protection for water miscible flammable liquids stored in plastic containers packaged in boxes located on pallets. A series of fire tests was conducted with palletized rack storage arrangements using in-rack sprinkler protection at various levels. The intent of the paper is to present data from this test series for these types of commodities. The paper will identify various existing water miscible flammable liquid products stored in this fashion and provide background information for protecting this type of storage as it relates to NFPA 30 Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code. The test data indicates that further research work is needed in the area of plastic containers for use with the storage of combustible and flammable liquids. Included in the paper are discussions concerning possible protection strategies and suggestions for future research which would benefit those involved in risk management of this type of commodity.

    Notes: A new method is described to enhance the management of process safety risks such that the number and type of safety systems protecting against any hazard are consistently predicated upon risk. Further, that such an assignment of safety systems can be made consistent throughout an organization. This consistency is gained through standardization of qualitative risk ranking and by setting company guidelines.

    Notes: Case histories of 65 incidents in runaway reactions and emergency relief in Taiwan were analyzed and classified into several categories according to their causes, materials involved, equipment types, reaction types, and ignition sources. The cases in reactors and storage tanks were examined in more detail owing to the higher probability or larger potential hazard in these two types of equipments. The most common consequence of the incidents are explosions, fires, and atmospheric release of toxic chemicals. The most severe case was a thermal explosion from an organic peroxide storage area which caused the death of 33 persons. Popping and direct releasing of process chemicals to the atmosphere from relieving devices cause the greatest environmental concerns to the community close to the plants. Runaway reactions in batch type reactors occur frequently due to various operational mistakes. Heat of reaction is the most frequent ignition source of runaway reactions and emergency relief.

    Notes: Risk assessments have been performed to determine the risk associated with the transportation of hazardous wastes through a city. In the course of these assessments, a number of modeling issues arose relating to transportation accident rates, the characterization of incidents, the effect of thermal radiation, the impact of exposure to toxic chemicals, and the threshold for acceptable risk. This paper discusses these issues.

    Notes: An explosion occurred in a petroleum product storage tank at a refinery. The liquid petroleum product was a heavy oil used as an asphalt extender. There were no injuries, but the cleanup was costly. The storage tank was one of several which received the product stream from a dehydration unit. The accident occurred shortly after the refinery was brought back on-line following a shutdown for schduled maintenance.This was the first incident of this kind to occur at this facility. Analysis of the process data and eyewitness observations indicated that the dehydration tower, which was supposed to be maintained at a minimum of 100°C during the shutdown, was allowed to drift below 100°C for an unknown period of time. This deviation enabled liquid water to enter the storage tank. Three operational factors contributed to the accident. Corrective actions were recommended to prevent a recurrence of a similar incident.

    Notes: In the risk assessment parlance, especially with reference to chemical process industries, the term “domino effect” is used to denote “chain of accidents,” or situations when a fire/explosion/missile/toxic load generated by an accident in one unit in an industry causes secondary and higher order accidents in other units. The multi-accident catastrophe which occurred in a refinery at Vishakhapatnam, India, on September 14, 1997, claiming 60 lives and causing damages to property worth over Rs 600 million, is the most recent example of the damage potential of domino effect.But, even as the domino effect has been documented since 1947, very little attention has been paid towards modeling this phenomena. In this paper we have provided a conceptual framework based on sets of appropriate models to forecast domino effects, and assess their likely magnitudes and adverse impacts, while conducting risk assessment in a chemical process industry. The utilizability of the framework has been illustrated with a case study.

    Notes: A simple analytical method is presented for estimating the hybrid minimum ignition energy (HMIE) of dust-gas mixtures, based on the assumed generality of Bartknecht's well-known test data for mixtures of propane with a series of dusts in air. Since the HMIE equation requires input data which might be unavailable, the use of conservative default methods is discussed.

    Notes: This paper defines situation awareness (SA) and discusses its importance to operator-machine system safety and functioning in the context of process control activities. Specifically, identified are relationships of human detection of critical process cues converying the status of automated control systems and operator interpretation of the meaning and relevance of such information to the potential for negative incidents in chemical processing. Beyond individual operator SA in interacting with control systems, intra- and inter- work team SA are discussed for supporting individual attainment of process control responsibilities. Factors critical to team SA are discussed. “Road blocks” to team SA are also analytically examined. Lastly, methods for assessing individual and team SA are reviewed and vehicles for relating outcomes of these methods to changes in process control operator and team behavior to improve human-machine system safety and performance are relayed.

    Notes: From the 1960s onwards, the chemical and oil industries developed and used a number of new safety techniques which, in time, became second nature to those who applied them. They included the use of QRA for deciding priorities, Hazop and audits for identifying problems, inherently safer design for avoiding hazards, and more thorough investigation of incidents for identifying underlying causes. However, it has not yet become second nature to remember the accidents of the past and the actions needed to prevent them happening again.I joined industry in 1944 and moved to production in 1952. Then, and for at least 15 years afterwards, safety was a non-technical subject that could be left to arts graduates and elderly foremen. There was concern that people should not be hurt - great attention was paid to the lost-time accident rate - but there was no realization, that it was a subject worthy of systematic study by experienced technologists.This view changed at the end of the 1960s. A new generation of plants had been built, operating at higher temperatures and pressures and containing larger inventories of hazardous chemicals; the result was a series of fires and explosions and a worsening fatal accident rate. Figure 1 shows the situation in ICI, at the time the UK, s largest chemical company. Other companies experienced a similar state of affairs.As a result in 1968, I was appointed one of the company's first technical safety advisers, an unusual appointment at the time for someone with my experience, and if the reason for my appointment had not been so obvious I would have wondered what I had done wrong. I and my colleagues tried to apply the same sort of systematic thinking to safety that we applied in our other professional work. We developed some new concepts and techniques and adopted others. A common feature of our ides, realized only in restrospect, was that they consisted of more than mere problem-solving techniques. Once people had got used to these new concepts and used them a few times, they began to look at a whole range of problems in a different way.

    Notes: HFC-227ea (CF3CHFCF3;1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 3-heptafluoropropane) is an effective replacement for Halon 1301 in fire suppression systems, providing rapid extinguishment of flames through a combination of physical and chemical mechanisms. The vast majority of applications for HFC-227ea involve the protection of Class A hazards, which are characterized by low fuel loadings and low energy output, with fire sizes often in the range of 5-10 kW. Mid- and large-scale testing has demonstrated that HFC-227ea, at its minimum design concentration of 7.0% v/v, is effective at extinguishing fires typical of those expected to occur in electronic data processing (EDP) facilities, telecommunication facilities and anechoic chambers. The levels of HF produced following extinguishment of typical Class a fires with HFC-227ea were well below the estimated mammalian LC50 and the human Dangerous Toxic Load (DTL), and do not appear to present a threat to electronic equipment.

    Notes: On October 31, 1987 a crane lifting a heat exchanger convection section failed and severed a 4″ loading line and a 2″ pressure relief line to an HF alkylation reactor settler drum at a petroleum refinery in Texas City, Texas. Vapors were emitted under pressure for about two hours and the vessel was plugged and drained aproximately 44 hours later. A plume from this accidental release passed through residential areas, damaging some vegetation (brown lawns), and spawning a class action law suit. An extensive analysis was conducted to determine the total inventory loss and to model the blowdown process and the concentrations of HF in the plume. Since the discharge rate was decreasing with time, a peak concentration of HF in the emitted vapors occurred just before the water spray mitigation system became fully operative. Consequently, the mitigation efforts were more effective late in the response when concentrations were already low. The predicted plume concentrations are consistent with observed vegetation damage effects, with concentrations below Emergency Response Planning Guideline Level 3 past 3/4 mile from the source. These results support a policy of sheltering in place during such an event.

    Notes: Sandia National Laboratories (Sandia) has refined a process for developing inherently safer system designs based on methods used by Sandia to design detonation safety into nuclear weapons. The process was created when Sandia realized that standard engineering practices did not provide the level of safety assurance necessary for nuclear weapon operations, with their potential for catastrophic accidents. A systematic approach, which relies on mutually supportive design principles integrated through fundamental physical principles, was developed to ensure a predictably safe system response under a variety of operational and accident-based stesses. Robust, safe system designs result from this thematic approach to safety, minimizing the number of safety critical features. This safety assurance process has two profound benefits: the process avoids the need to understand or limit the ultimate intensity of off-normal environments and it avoids the requirement to analyze and test a large array of accident environment scenarios (e.g., directional threats, sequencing of environments, time races, etc) to demonstrate conformance to all safety requirements.

    Notes: Two major accidents in the 80's: the summit Tunnel Fire, England and Piper Alpha disaster, an offshore platform in the North Sea; and very recently, possible explosion of the Boeing, TWA flight 800 at New York, makes it imperative that further research into the mechonisms of the ignition of flammable vapor/air mixture in contact with hot surfaces needs to be done. There have been a number of studies of ignition by hot surfaces, but in all these studies the ignition sources were wire, sphere or strip, i.e., most of them were flat surfaces. But to the authors' knowledge, other variables which affect the ignition mechanism such as irregular geometrical shapes have not been studied. The purpose of this paper is to examine how the degree of confinement (or, configuration), size and orientation, of the heated surface affects the ignition temperature of the flammable vapors. The results were obtained by experimentnal and by computational fluid dynamics.

    Notes: The knowledge of the ingition behavior of dust-air mixtures due to electrical sparks (MIE, Minimum Ignition Energy) and hot surfaces (MIT, Minimum Ignition Temperature) is important for risk assessments in chemical production plants. The ignition behavior determines the extent and hence the cost of preventive protection measures.This paper describes the use of the minimum ignition energy and minimum ignition temperature as very important safety indexes in practice.Based on the latest results from large scale experiments on pneumatic filling of silos with polymeric materials and new results of full scale filling tests using Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBC) manufactured from a variety of materials, guidance can be given to ensure safe operation in different situations such as filling, emptying operations, type of powder handled.The aim of this paper is to assist people dealing with product. It reflects the present state of the art and current knowledge of the assessment and measures associated with powder handling.

    Notes: Regulatory issues related to material safety have made the accurate measurement and/or prediction of flash points essential. The flash point is one of the major physical properties used to determine the fire and explosion hazards of a liquid. Flash points are used by virtually all governmental entities worldwide to define “flammable” and “combustible” materials for shipping and safety regulations.A model is described here for the calculation of closed cup flash points for multicomponent, single liquid phase, mixtures. The model is based upon rigorous vapor/liquid equilibrium calculations supplemented with information about the lower flammable limits (LFL's) and heats of combustion (ΔHc's) for the mixture's constituent components. The closed cup flash points predicted with this model are typically within ± 5°C of the experimentally reported values. Such a model is useful as a means of verifying experimental data and as a tool for screening product formulations prior to experimental flash point determination. The model should considerably enhance the safety evaluation portion of the product development cycle, thus leading to shortened product time-to-market cycles. While flash points calculated with this model are in excellent agreement with experiment, experimental determination is still encouraged for critìcal safety applications.

    Notes: This paper presents the design of ribbon wound pressure vessels useful for Ammonia, Urea and Methanol plants. The design is to create a thin shell of 1/5 the total wall thickness required, weld it to the end pieces, and wind 4 to 8 mm thick ribbons of 80 mm width at an angle of 15 to 30 degrees on the inner shell, using a prestress. The ribbons are welded at the ends and an even number of layers are wound cross-helically on to the shell. With more than 7000 vessels over the pressure range of 50 to 350 atmospheres in use in the various chemical industries in China over the past 30 years, their safety record has been excellent. Of particular interest has been the application of this technology in the Ammonia and Urea plants, where the design allows fabrication of these vessels at substantial reduction in cost, and early delivery, when compared to the mono wall technology.

    Notes: In mid-1997, an Advanced Process Control (APC) scheme was implemented at a resins manufacturing complex with the goal of minimizing flare fuel gas usage while maintaining sufficient energy (BTU/SCF flare gas) to be in environmental regulatory compliance. Prior to APC implementation, the flare system was manually controlled by plant operators with minor attention paid to the minimization of fuel gas usage. Since implementation, APC has saved the plant thousands of dollars in fuel gas costs and reduced unnecessary combusted fuel gas emissions.Hazard analysis techniques were used in the development of the control scheme. An overview of the APC used, the economic evaluation, and the hazard analysis techniques used in the project are presented here.

    Notes: The safest method to prevent fires and explosions of flammable mixtures in the first place. This method requires detailed knowledge of the flammability region as a function of the fuel, oxygen, and nitrogen concentrations. A triangular flammability diagram is the most useful tool to display the flammability region, and to determine if a flammable mixture is present during plant operations.This paper describes how to draw and use a flammability diagram. A procedure to estimate the flammability region using the available and sometimes limited data is discussed. The paper also shows how to use the flammability diagram with plant operations involving inerting and purging, and from bringing vessels into and out of service. A compilation of flammability diagrams for 30 materials, based on previously published data is provided.An automated apparatus for acquiring data for a flammability diagram is described. The apparatus consists of a 20-L sphere with an automated gas mixing system, a fuse-wire ignition system, and a high speed pressure measurement and data acquisition system. Data derived from the apparatus includes flammability limits, maximum pressure during combustion, and the maximum pressure rate. The effect of fuse-wire ignitor dynamics on the results is studied. A flammability diagram for methane drawn from data obtained from the apparatus, is presented.

    Notes: Dust explosions have been with us for a long time. The first record of a dust explosion occurred in Turin, Italy, on December 14, 1785 [1]. The detailed record of this event is left to us by Count Morozzo. The event took place in Mr. Giacomelli's bakery. We know from his account that the weather was unseasonably dry, that a boy who worked in the bakery was using a shovel to stir and transfer the flour to a chute from a store room to the bakery and he had a lighted lamp to work by. The rest, as the saying goes, is history. No one was killed, and the building was saved by the sagacious fact of having plenty of windows. Since that first record, of course, there have been many explosions with much loss of life and significant economic consequences.

    Notes: The Brazoria County Petrochemical Council, 13 companies that are working together to enhance relations between industry and the community, united in a joint effort at complying with the EPA's Risk Management Program. One of the significant issues the group had to address was the need to develop meaningful hazard assessment for presentation to the public. The EPA's “Table Look-Up Approach” found in the Offsite Consequence Analysis Guidance document is certainly a good tool; however, the built-in conservatism results in over-estimates of potential hazard areas. Much more meaningful results are shown to be obtained using one of the hazard release models.The value of using a credible scenario with realistic meteorological data is demonstrated through the consistently smaller areas predicted by the PHAST Model for planning purposes. Realistic scenarios/failure modes and realistic model parameters are important so that the risk to the public is not overstated. Proprietary models such as PHAST are invaluable in providing more meaningful consequences for planning purposes.

    Notes: Research was carried out to develop improved protection guidelines for silane handling systems through enhanced understanding of the behavior of releases of this pyrophoric gas. The approach involved addressing three aspects of the problem: the prompt ignition behavior of silane; the reactivity characteristics of quiescent silane/air mixtures; and the rates of reaction of silane leaked into enclosures with and without explosion venting, in the presence of ventilation air flow. A first conclusion, reached from tests in a ventilated cabinet, was that, contrary to prevailing belief, the ventilation flow has no measurable effect on the prompt ignition of the release. From experiments in a 5.1-liter (311-in.3) sphere it was found that silane/air mixtures of concentrations between 1.4 and 4.1% (by volume) are explosive but stable. In this case, piloted ignition tests yielded laminar burning velocities up to 5 m/s (1000 ft/min). Mixtures between 4.5 and 38% (the maximum reached in the tests) were found to be metastable, and would undergo spontaneous ignition after a delay ranging from 15 to 120 seconds, with the shorter values corresponding to higher silane concentrations. Experiments were also performed in a 0.645-m3 (22.8-ft3) vessel both with and without explosion venting, to measure the rates of energy release associated with impulsively-started silane leaks from 1/8 and 1/4-in. (3.2 and 6.4-mm) lines. A method for the prediction of the venting requirements of partial-volume deflagrations (PVD) was evolved into a tool to quantify the pressure rise from ignition of silane leaks in enclosures. These results represent a significant step toward updating existing design recommendations which prescribe ventilation requirements that are based on outdated and, in some instances, misinterpreted data.

    Notes: Under OSHA 1910.119, all Process Safety Management (PSM) facilities are required to keep their pressure relief system design information current. This article demonstrates why a pressure relief system design verification effort must be based on an equipment list, rather than a relief device list, in order to ensure that every piece of equipment is adequately protected. The formerly common practice of simply checking the design bases of all existing relief devices is deficient is deficient since this technique does not systematically ensure that every piece of equipment is protected.The “Berwanger Method” is a step by step process for designing or analyzing a pressure relief system to meet OSHA 1910.119 Process Safety Information (PSI) and Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) mandates. The method uses a relational database which tracks the relationships between protected equipment, potential overpressure scenarios, and protective devices.The challenge facing an operating company does not end once the design basis has been “verified” - the design basis information must also be maintained and be readily accessible to avoid costly reinvention of the wheel down the road. The “Berwanger Method” also addresses these maintenance issues.

    Notes: This paper describes the development of a risk ranked Inspection Recommendation procedure that is used by one of Exxon's chemical plants to prioritize repairs that have been identified during equipment inspection.As part of the Company's Safety Management Practices initiative in the late 1980's a procedure was put into place to ensure that an Inspector's repair recommendations were properly addressed by the organization. The initial procedures were successful at “systematizing” the documentation and stewardship-to-completion of the Inspector's recommendation, however, there were complications with the original process: (1)The Inspector made a simple High, Medium or Low assessment of the priority/criticality of the recommendation. Frequently, this resulted in disagreements with Operations about the true priority of the recommendation.(2)If there was agreement on the priority of the recommendation, there was still disagreement on the relative rank within the priority-which high priority was the highest priority?(3)With limited funds to spend on repairs, it was (and is) important to make sure that the money was being spent on the highest risk items that had the greatest risk reduction/cost benefit ratio.To address these concerns, the procedure was modified to incorporate a risk assessment of the recommendation by both the Inspector and Operations. In the new procedure, the Inspector describes the deficiency that he/she finds and assesses the probability of failure within a certain time-frame. Operations must assess the consequences, from an environmental, safety and economics standpoint, were the failure to occur. These assessments are combined in the typical risk equation (risk = probability × consequences) to arrive at a severity index which serves to rank the recommendation relative to the other recommendations. Because Operations participates in the assessment there is very little disagreement about the priority of the recommendation. The severity index puts the recommendations in order so it is quite clear which are the highest priority recommendations. This process has helped to focus the entire organization on those deficiencies that represent the greatest risk with the result that less time and money is spent correcting items that have a low risk/cost benefit ratio, allowing these savings to be used to reduce the higher risks in the plant.

    Notes: This paper reports on a comprehensive literature search and small scale experimental work on the reaction characteristics of phosphorous trichloride and water. More than 30 tests were conducted, including both closed and open test cells. The water to phosphorus trichloride molar ratio was varied from 1 to 25. When in contact, water and phosphorus trichloride will form two liquid layers with a reaction starting at the interface. The impact of variables on reaction rates including the interface surface area, layer depth, and stirring were investigated experimentally. A reaction rate model that fits all the measured data is presented. Case studies illustrating the use of this data for emergency relief systems and vent containment design are presented in reference.

    Notes: In May 1996, the Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code Committee of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) proposed for adoption by the Association a new edition of NFPA 30, Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code. This new edition was the culmination of two and one-half years' work by the Committee and included one of the most significant changes to that document in some twenty years: the incorporation of mandatory fire protection criteria for warehouses and other inside areas that store flammable and combustible liquids in containers and portable tanks.

    Notes: The Baker-Strehlow methodology was developed to provide an objective approach to prediction of blast pressures from vapor cloud explosions. The complete methodology was first published in 1994 [1]. Since then, it has evolved through ongoing research and use in VCE hazard analyses, facility siting studies and accident investigations. This article gives a brief overview of a paper on recent developments in the Baker-Strehlow methodology presented at the 31st Loss Prevention Symposium in Houston on March 9-13, 1997. Because the entire paper is too lengthy to be presented here, the following discussions may be lacking in some details. A copy of the complete paper can be obtained from the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE).Since the Baker-Strehlow method was first published, it has been used extensively in VCE hazard assessments in refineries and chemical plants. As expected, many practical lessons have been learned during the course of the hazard assessments, and the Baker-Strehlow method has evolved as a result. The changes have been evolutionary, not revolutionary. In keeping with the goals of the original study in which the methodology was developed, all changes have been incorporated with the intent of achieving an objective methodology to provide consistent prediction of VCE blast effects.The revisions to the Baker-Strehlow method resulting from experience gained during plant walk-downs and hazard assessments include: Systematic identification of “potential explosion sites” or “PESs,”Selection of the level of confinement for mixed zones of 2D and 3D confinement,Deciding on flame expansion when confinement is elevated above the vapor cloud,Selecting the reactivity for a fuel that is a mixture of fuels with differing reactivities,Predicting blast loads when there are multiple PES's within a vapor cloud considering different ignition source locations.

    Notes: Risk analysis in chemical process industries is an elaborate exercise involving several steps from preliminary hazard identification to development of credible accident scenarios, to preparation of strategies for prevention or control of damage.All this requires substantial inputs of time and money. In order to get an approximate yet workable assessment of risk at much lesser costs, indices have been developed which link typical findings of elaborate risk analysis to scales of risk. The scales, in turn, provide workable measures of hazards/risks/safety.In the past, indices have been reported for swift risk assessment - the noteworthy among them include Dow fire and explosion index, Mond fire, explosion and toxicity index, IFAL index, and mortality index. A few rapid ranking techniques have also been proposed.This paper presents a new system of methodologies for Hazard Identification and Ranking (HIRA). The system consists of two indices: one for fire and explosion hazards and another for the hazard due to likely release of toxic chemical. The magnitudes of these indices indicate the severity of the likely accident; in terms of the size of the impacted area.HIRA has been applied to a typical chemical process industry - a sulfolane plant - and its performance has been compared with that of the Dow's and the Mond's indices. The study reveals that HIRA is more sensitive and accurate than the other indices.

    Notes: Some of the hazards encountered by process plant operators involve the operation of in-line valves to control, start, and to stop flow. Torque required to operate valves may vary according to valve wheel size, in-line pressure, and valve flange position (open/closed). This study determined how valve wheel size, in-line pressure and valve position (open/closed) affect torque required to actuate a valve. Data were gathered with each combination of size, pressure and position for 336 valves in an operating petrochemical process facility. The results indicate that the main effects of valve wheel size, the in-line pressure, and open/closed valve position significantly affect operational torque requirements. In addition, the interaction between position and pressure was significant for operational torque. The implication of these results is that operators are exposed to operational torque requirements that exceed maximum acceptable capabilities that have been determined in previous studies.

    Notes: EPA's Risk Management Program regulation, promulgated in June 1996 as 40 CFR Part 68 requires subject industries to submit Risk Management Plans by June 1999. This plan requires hazard assessment of the operations of a facility using worst case scenarios and alternative releases. EPA has provided an Off-site Consequence Analysis (OCA) guidance to help facilities in their hazard assessment.OxyChem will be significantly impacted by the RMP rule. This paper outlines OxyChem's general experience and its strategy in planning to comply with this rule. OxyChem's approach in the development of the scenarios required by the rule is described in this paper. Limitations involved in the use of EPA's look-up tables or a single modeling solution for conducting all of the OCA are discussed. A three tiered OCA approach is presented as a possible alternative.

    Notes: Gas explosion simulators are often used as tools in process plant design. This article presents some properties of gas explosions found using the EXSIM simulation software on three offshore modules with a total of nearly 10,000 simulations. The selected results are chosen for their supposed applicability to structural design in the process industries.Generalized data are presented for the effect of gas cloud size, explosion impulse vs. explosion pressure, pressure and impulse vs. duration, the probability of a “short” explosion, loading rate, pressure-time “shape” function, and the effect of introducing louvers.

    Notes: An ammonia storage tank was built at the BASF Antwerp site in 1969 on land reclaimed from the sea. After several years of operation uneven foundation settlement, of up 2, occurred. In order to assure stability of this area for the next operation period (at least 10 years) measures were taken to ensure continued safe operation. One key measure was strain gauge monitoring at the location of maximum stress.

    Notes: The apparent rate constants of formation (k1) and hydrolysis (k2) of the Schiff bases formed between pyridoxal and polyallylamine has been fitted to a kinetic scheme that involve the different protonated species in the reaction medium and the individual rate constants of formation (k1i) and hydrolysis (k2i). The (k1i) values precludes an acid catalyzed intramolecular process. The effects of hydrophobic medium due to the presence of the macromolecule on the reaction is also discussed. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet: 30: 1-6, 1998.

    Notes: The gas-phase reaction of ozone with a series of unsaturated oxygenates and with 1-pentene has been studied at ambient T (287-296 K) and p=1 atm. of air. Reaction rate constants, in units of 10-18 cm3 molecule-1 s-1, are 0.22±0.05 for 2 (5H)-furanone, 1.08±0.20 for methacrolein, 1.74±0.20 for crotonaldehyde, 5.84±0.39 for methylvinyl ketone, 1.05±0.15 for methyl acrylate, 3.20±0.47 for vinyl acetate, 59.0±8.7 for cis-3-hexenyl acetate, 154±30 for ethylvinyl ether, ≥(315±23) for linalool, and 10.9±1.4 for 1-pentene. The results are compared to literature data for the compounds studied and for other unsaturated oxygenates, and are discussed in terms of reactivity toward ozone as a function of the nature, number, and position of the oxygen-containing substituents (SINGLEBOND)CHO, (SINGLEBOND)C(O)R, (SINGLEBOND)C(O)OR, and (SINGLEBOND)OC(O)R. Atmospheric implications are briefly examined. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int. J Chem Kinet: 30: 21-29, 1998.

    Notes: A new linear regression method is applied to determine the rate constants from time-dependent profiles. The method is effective for obtaining the rate constants of such consecutive processes as vibrational relaxation. The ambiguity of ordinary nonlinear analysis is eliminated by the linearization of regression equations. Because the new method also determines relative detectivity, the nascent vibrational distributions immediately following reactions or photolysis can be obtained simultaneously. In order to demonstrate the reliability of the new method under practical conditions, several examples of analysis of the data with noise are shown in detail. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Decomposition studies of trichlorosilane, dichlorosilane, and monochlorosilane at 921 K, 872 K, and 806 K, respectively, are reported. The studies were made at fixed reactant pressures over a range of total pressures in a wall conditioned, quartz reactor connected to a quadrupole mass-spectrometer. Products were monitored sequentially and continuously in time. The dichlorosilane decomposition was also studied by the comparative-rate single-pulse shock-tube method at temperatures around 1250 K. Two mechanisms of decomposition are considered: a silylene based mechanism initiated by molecular elimination reactions (Scheme I), and a free radical based mechanism initiated by bond fission reactions (Scheme V). Modeling tests of these mechanisms show that only the former is consistent with the experimental data. The decompositions are shown to be essentially nonchain processes initiated by the following pressure dependent reactions: HSiCl3(SINGLEBOND)4→ SiCl2+HCl, H2SiCl2(SINGLEBOND)1→ SiCl2+H2 and H3SiCl(SINGLEBOND)5→ HSiCl+H2. High pressure Arrhenius parameters recommended for these reactions are A4,∞=A1,∞=A5,∞=1014.5±0.5 s-1, E4,∞=71.9±2.1 kcal/mol, E1,∞=69.2±2.0 kcal/mol, and E5,∞=60.6±1.8 kcal/mol. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The detailed kinetics of the reaction of toluidine blue {phenothiazine-5-ium, 3-amino-7(dimethylamino)-2-methyl chloride, tolonium chloride, TB+Cl-} with potassium bromate and with aqueous bromine reaction were studied. In most of the experiments, the kinetics were monitored by following the rate of consumption of TB+ at 590 nm with excess acid and bromate. The reaction exhibited complex kinetic behavior. Initial reaction was slow and after an induction time, the TB+ concentration decreased fast. It had first-order dependence on both TB+ and bromate, and second-order dependence on H+. Under excess bromate conditions, the stoichiometric ratio of TB+ to bromate was 1:1. Demethylated sulfoxides were found at the reaction products. Sharp increase in the overall potential synchronized with the increase in bromine levels and the fast depletion of [TB+]. The role of bromide ion and bromine in the reaction was established. A multi-step reaction mechanism is proposed consistent with the experimental results. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet: 30: 111-120, 1998.

    Notes: Synthesis of tert-amyl methyl ether (TAME) from methanol (MeOH) and tert-amyl alcohol (TAA) in the liquid phase was studied by using an ion exchange resin, Amberlyst15 (A15) in the H+ form. Experiments were carried out in a stirred batch reactor under atmospheric pressure. The effects of catalyst size, agitation speed, temperatures, feed ratio and water on the reaction rate were investigated. Both of intraparticle and external diffusion effects could be neglected in this system. The dehydration of TAA could be decreased by increasing the ratio of MeOH/TAA and the reaction rates were greatly inhibited by water.A kinetic model which considered the inhibition of water was proposed. The experimental results agreed well with the model. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet: 30: 137-143, 1998.

    Notes: A high-pressure, high-temperature reactor unit was developed to test batch-wise inter-conversions of hydrocarbons. A major ambiguity characterizes this reactor, as it does all similar units that have been described, determination of the time-temperature profile for the reacting mixture. Here we report on a solution to this problem - use of a “chemical thermometer,” based on the kinetics of dissociation of C4F8. We propose a revised set of rate constants that permit calibration of the reactor operation. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 30: 171-177, 1998.

    Notes: The kinetics of proton transfer between poly(A - AH) (partially protonated double-stranded polyadenylic acid) and CPR (chlorophenol red), and between poly(C - H - C) (partially protonated double-stranded polycytidylic acid) and the indicators CPR, BCP (bromocresol purple), and BCG (bromocresol green) have been investigated at 25°C and ionic strength 0.1 M (NaClO4) by the temperature-jump method. The acidic proton of poly(C - H - C) is engaged in a hydrogen bond (N3H+----N3) which is believed to contribute to stabilizing the double-strand conformation, whereas the acidic proton of poly(A - A - H) does not form hydrogen bonds. The analysis of the dependence of the relaxation times on the concentrations of the reactants has enabled the evaluation of the rate constants for the direct proton transfer and for the protolysis paths. The rate constants for proton recombination with the deprotonated forms of the polynucleotides and the indicators are of the order of magnitude expected for diffusion controlled processes involving oppositely charged ions (k2=(0.2-1.6)×1010 M-1s-1). The direct proton transfer from poly(C - H - C) to BCG is thermodynamically disfavored and its rate constant, k1, is lower than k2 by about three orders of magnitude. The (thermodynamically favored) proton transfers from poly(A - A - H) to CPR and from poly(C - H - C) to CPR and BCP are characterized by similar values of k1. This result indicates that the hydrogen bonds in poly(C - H - C) are very weak and suggests that the stabilization of the double-stranded conformation of this polynucleotide could be ascribed to the large number of hydrogen bonds rather than to their specific strength. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Manganese(II) is oxidized by ozone in acid solution, k=(1.5±0.2)×103 M-1 s-1 in HClO4 and k=(1.8±0.2)×103M-1 s-1 in H2SO4. The plausible mechanism is an oxygen atom transfer from O3 to Mn2+ producing the manganyl ion MnO2+, which subsequently reacts rapidly with Mn2+ to form Mn(III). No free OH radicals are involved in the mechanism. The spectrum of Mn(III) was obtained in the wave length range 200-310 nm. The activation energy for the initial reaction is 39.5 kJ/mol. Manganese(III) is reduced by hydrogen peroxide to Mn(II) with k(Mn(III)+H2O2)=2.8×103M-1 s-1 at pH 0-2. The mechanism of the reaction involving formation of the manganese(II)-superoxide complex and reaction of H2O2 with Mn(IV) species formed due to reversible disproportionation of Mn(III), is suggested. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Cationic micelles of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, CTABr, speed attack of hydroxide ion upon coumarin by a factor of c.a-2, due to a concentration effect. The first-order rate constants, kobs, at a given hydroxide ions concentration go through maxima with increasing surfactant concentration. The overall micellar effects in these cationic micelles can be treated in terms of the pseudo-phase ion exchange model. Analysis of the data shows that second-order rate constant at the micellar surface is smaller than the second-order rate constant in water. Anionic micelles of sodium dodecyi sulfate, SDS, inhibit the same reaction. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 30: 273-276, 1998.

    Notes: The kinetics of oxidation of four vicinal diols, four nonvicinal diols, and one of their monoethers by pyridinium bromochromate (PBC) have been studied in dimethyl sulfoxide. The main product of oxidation is the corresponding hydroxyaldehyde. The reaction is first-order with respect to each the diol and PBC. The reaction is acid-catalyzed and the acid dependence has the form: kobs=a+b[H+]. The oxidation of [1,1,2,2-2H4]ethanediol exhibited a primary kinetic isotope effect (kH/k D=6.70 at 298 K). The reaction has been studied in 19 organic solvents including dimethyl sulfoxide and the solvent effect has been analyzed using multiparametric equations. The temperature dependence of the kinetic isotope effect indicates the presence of a symmetrical transition state in the rate-determining step. A suitable mechanism has been proposed. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 30: 285-290, 1998.

    Notes: Models that simulate atmospheric photochemistry require the use of a stiff ordinary differential equations (ODEs) solver. Since the simulation of the chemical transformations taking place in the system takes up to 80 percent of the CPU time, the numerical solver must be computationally fast. Also, the residual error from the solver must be small. Because most accurate solvers are relatively slow, modelers continue to search for timely, yet accurate integration methods. Over the past years an extensive number of articles have been dedicated to this subject. One of the highly debated questions is whether one should construct specialized algorithms or instead use general methods for stiff ODEs. In the present article we use the second alternative. We apply three linearly (semi-)implicit methods from the classical stiff ODE literature which we modified to implement the sparse routines to solve the system of equations describing a complex kinetic mechanism. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Vacuum line kinetic studies of the reaction of p-toluenesulfonyl chloride and benzene or toluene, using aluminum chloride as the catalyst and dichloromethane as the solvent were determined at 25°C by means of gas chromatography. The reaction is first-order in arene, tosyl chloride, and in AlCl3 as catalyst. Noncompetitive results are kT/kB=22±7 with a product sulfone isomer distribution: ortho, 14±1%; meta, 4.3±0.2%; and para 82±1%. With hexadeuteriobenzene kH/kD was determined to be 1.8±0.1. Rate constant ratios and product isomer distributions were also determined competitively: with AlCl3, kT/kB=30±2; % ortho, 13±1; % meta, 4.0±0.5; % para, 84±3; with SbCl5, kT/kB=40±4; % ortho 10.3±0.4; % meta, 4.7±0.2; and % para, 85.0±0.5. The kT/kB ratio for AlCl3 and the meta sulfone product percentages for both AlCl3 and SbCl5 are considerably higher than those reported in the literature. NMR and Raman studies suggest a molecular complex between p-tosyl chloride and AlCl3, with coordination through oxygen as the dominant species and the probable electrophile in CH2Cl2. A reaction mechanism consistent with the kinetic and spectroscopic results is proposed. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 30: 367-372,1998

    Notes: The investigation of high-pressure autoignition of combustible mixtures is of importance in providing both practical information in the design of combustion systems and fundamental measurements to verify and develop chemical kinetic models. The autoignition characteristics of hydrogen-oxygen mixtures at low pressures have been explored extensively, whereas few measurements have been made at high pressures. The present measurements extend the range of pressures up to 4 MPa, where few measurements have yet been reported.Using a rapid compression machine equipped with a specially designed piston head, hydrogen autoignition pressure traces were measured at pressures above the second explosion limit (p=0.6-4 MPa, T=950-1050 K). The measured pressure records show a more gradual pressure increase during induction time in this regime than in the low-pressure regime, indicating that the energy release becomes significant at conditions over the second explosion limit.By comparing the measurements and a thermodynamic model which incorporates the heat transfer and energy release, a modified reaction rate constant for H2O2+H=HO2+H2, one of the most important reactions for hydrogen oxidation at high pressure, and the reaction with the largest uncertainty, is suggested in this work as k17=2.3 . 1013exp(-4000/T) cm3/mol-s. The modeled pressure history with the modified reaction rate agrees well with the measured values during the induction period over the range of conditions tested. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The aminolysis reactions of O-ethyl S-(Z-phenyl) dithiocarbonates (Z=p-CH3, H, p-Cl, and p-NO2) with anilines (AN) and N,N-dimethylanilines (DMA) in acetonitrile at 30.0°C are investigated. Relatively small values of βX (βnuc,0.4 ca. 0.7) and βZ (βlg -0.1 ca. -0.4) for both ANs and DMAs, significantly large kH/kD values (1.1 ca. 1.9) involving deuterated anilines, and large negative ρXZ values for ANs (-0.56) are interpreted to indicate a concerted mechanism for both ANs and DMAs but with a hydrogen bonded four-center type transition state (TS) for ANs. The relative leaving ability, k(Z=p-NO2)/k(Z=p-CH3), is smaller for ANs than for DMAs, especially for a weaker nucleophile (1.9 and 4.7 for AN and DMA, respectively, with X=p-Cl). This suggests that the rate enhancement by the hydrogen-bond formation in the four-center type TS for AN is greater for a weaker nucleofuge (Z=p-CH3), especially when the nucleophile (X=p-Cl) is weaker. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Isobutane pyrolysis is studied in an unpacked Pyrex reactor at 20-100 torr initial pressures and 750-793 K. Results are interpreted in terms of a long chain radical mechanism and the reaction is modeled. The reaction selectivity or ratio of the initial production rate of isobutene (or hydrogen) to that of propene (or methane) is practically given by the ratio of the rate constant of abstraction of a tertiary hydrogen atom of isobutane to that of a primary one. A sensitivity analysis clearly shows that self-inhibition is essentially due to methylallyl radicals produced by hydrogen abstraction from isobutene. The model has been manually adjusted to experimental results and most of the adjusted rate constants are in agreement with literature data. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Solvent effects on the kinetics of hydrolysis of isatin by sodium hydroxide have been investigated within the temperature range (30-55°C) in methanol-water and acetonitrile-water media of varying solvent compositions up to 70% (v/v) of the organic solvent component. The thermodynamic activation parameters were calculated and discussed in terms of solvation effects. The determined isokinetic temperatures, in both systems, revealed the existence of compensation effect arising from strong solute-solvent interactions; log k was correlated with both log [H2O] and the reciprocal of the dielectric constant. The first correlation was observed to be linear while the second was nonlinear. Finally a mechanism for the isatin ring opening was proposed, which accounts for the role and the effect of the solvent on the reaction rate. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The thermal reaction of propene was examined around 800 K in the presence of less than 20% oxygen. At initial time, the production of H2, CH4, C2H4, C2H6, allene, C3H8, 1,3-butadiene, butenes, 3- and 4-methylcyclopentene, a mixture of 1,4- and 1,5-hexadienes, methylcyclopentane (or dimethylcyclobutane), 4-methylpent-1-ene, and hex-1-ene, was observed along with hydrogen peroxide, CO, and small quantities of ethanal and CO2. Oxygen increases the initial production of hydrogen and of most hydrocarbons and, particularly, that of C6 dienes and of cyclenes. However, the production of allene, methylcyclopentane (or dimethylcyclobutane), and 4-methylpent-1-ene is practically not affected. A kinetic study confirms the mechanism proposed for the thermal reaction of propene. Formation of allene, thus, involves a four-center-unimolecular dehydrogenation of propene, that of 4-methylpent-1-ene is explained by an ene bimolecular reaction while methylcyclopentane (or dimethylcyclobutane) probably arises from a bimolecular process involving a biradical intermediate. Other products arise from a conventional chain radical mechanism.A kinetic scheme is proposed in which chains are primarily initiated by the bimolecular step:C3H6+O2→HO2·+C3H5·which competes with the second-order initiation of propene pyrolysis. Since allene production is not affected by oxygen, it is concluded that allyl radicals are not dehydrogenated by oxygen; but they oxidize in a branching step involving allylperoxyl radicals; r. radicals other than methyl, and allyl are dehydrogenated according to the conventional process:r·+O2→unsaturated+HO2·and account for the production of a large excess of C6 diolefins, methylcyclopentenes, and hydrogen peroxide, when r. stands for C6H11, the allyl adduct. Hydrogen peroxide gives rise to a degenerate branching of chains. Based on the proposed scheme, a modeling of the reaction is shown to account fairly well for the concentration-time profiles. Rate constants of many steps are evaluated and discussed. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet: 30: 503-522, 1998

    Notes: Experiments have been carried out on the oxidation of CF3CFH2 (HFC-134a). Reaction was initiated by continuous photolysis of F2 in the near-ultraviolet. The F atoms produced abstracted a hydrogen atom from CF3CFH2 initiating oxidation in gas mixtures containing O2 and made up to a total pressure of 700 torr with N2. Product yields were measured using Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Experiments were performed with several different partial pressures of O2 present, and at three temperatures; 298, 323, and 357 K. The major products were HC(O)F, CF3C(O)F, and CF3O3CF3, consistent with H atom abstraction by O2 and CC bond scission being the dominant loss processes for CF3CFHO radicals:\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ CF3CFHO+O2 \rightarrow CF3C(O)F+HO2 (4a) $\end{document}\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ CF3CFHO+M \rightarrow CF3+HC(O)F+M (4b) $\end{document}The following expression was derived for the ratio of rate constants for these reactions:k4a/k4b=(3.8±1.6)×10-24 exp[(2400±500)/T]cm3 molecule-1 (viii)The main fate of the CF3 radicals was formation of CF3O3CF3 and small amounts of CF3OH were detected.

    Notes: An experimental and theoretical study of the pyrolysis and oxidation of parabenzoquinone has been performed. The experiments were conducted in an isothermal quartz flow reactor at atmospheric pressure in the temperature range 600-1500 K. The main variables considered are temperature, oxygen concentration, and presence of CO. A detailed reaction mechanism for the pyrolysis and oxidation chemistry of parabenzoquinone is proposed, which provides a good description of the experimental results. Both the experimental work and the kinetic mechanism proposed for the pyrolysis and oxidation of parabenzoquinone represent the first systematic study carried out for this important aromatic compound.Our pyrolysis results confirm that the primary dissociation channel for p-benzoquinone leads to CO and a C5H4O isomer, presumably cyclopentadienone. However, significant formation of CO2 during the pyrolysis may indicate the existence of a secondary dissociation channel leading to CO2 and a C5H4 isomer. Under oxidizing conditions, consumption of p-benzoquinone occurs mainly by dissociation at lower temperatures. As the temperature increases interaction of OC6H4O with the radical pool becomes more significant, occurring primarily through hydrogen abstraction reactions followed by ring opening reactions of the OC6H3O radical. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The photochemistry of IrCl62- complex in simple alcohols have been studied using laser-flash photolysis. Single electron transfer from the solvent molecule to the light-excited complex has been shown to be the primary photochemical process. Quantum yields of the photoreduction of IrCl62- complex and the rate constants of its reaction with hydroxyalkyl radicals were determined at 200-330 K. Deviations of the rate constants from Debye-Smoluchowski equation for diffusion-controlled reactions are discussed. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet: 30: 711-719, 1998

    Notes: The influence of the mass transfer phenomena on the thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate powders under vacuum was investigated through a detailed kinetic analysis by the constant transformation rate thermal analysis (CRTA). Reliable kinetic curves, free from the mass transfer problems, can be obtained by CRTA under vacuum, but within a restricted range of small sample sizes, 〈10 mg. The influence of mass transfer phenomena on the apparent kinetic parameters is discussed in relation to the distribution of fractional reaction α of the individual particles in a sample assemblage. Only when the distribution of α is maintained constant among a series of experimental kinetic curves, can a reliable activation energy, E, be obtained by one of the isoconversion methods. In this respect, a single cyclic CRTA permits the α distribution to be maintained constant between the two adjacent data points with different decomposition rates. In the present study, an apparent E value of about 223 kJ mol-1 was obtained by the Friedman method from a series of CRTA curves with sample sizes less than 10 mg and by the rate jump method from a single cyclic CRTA curve with sample size of about 40 mg. The first-order (F1) law was determined to be the most appropriate kinetic model function, from a series of CRTA curves, instead of the ideal contracting geometry (R3) law formalized for the three-dimensional shrinkage of the reaction interface in the respective particles. The particle size distribution of the sample particles is suggested to be one possible reason for the apparent agreement with the F1 law. A kinetic exponent n of the nth-order law that deviated from unity was obtained from the CRTA curves with sample sizes larger than 10 mg, due to an additional distribution of α produced by mass transfer phenomena. Because the α distribution due to the mass and heat transfer phenomena cannot be expressed practically in an analytical function, a meaningful kinetic model and preexponential factor are difficult to estimate from kinetic data that are influenced by the transfer phenomena. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Rate constants for the reaction of ozone with methylvinyl ketone (H2C(DOUBLEBOND)CHC(O)CH3), methacrolein (H2C(DOUBLEBOND)C(CH3)CHO), methacrylic acid (H2C(DOUBLEBOND)C(CH3)C(O)OH), and acrylic acid (H2C(DOUBLEBOND)CHC(O)OH) were measured at room temperature (296±2 K) in the presence of a sufficient amount of cyclohexane to scavenge OH-radicals. Results from pseudo-first-order experiments in the presence of excess ozone were found not to be consistent with relative rate measurements. It appeared that the formation of the so-called Criegee-intermediates leads to an enhanced decrease in the concentration of the two organic acids investigated. It is shown that the presence of formic acid, which is known to react efficiently with Criegee-intermediates, diminishes the observed removal rate of the organic acids. The rate constant for the reaction of ozone with the unsaturated carbonyl compounds methylvinyl ketone and methacrolein was found not to be influenced by the addition of formic acid. Rate constants for the reaction of ozone determined in the presence of excess formic acid are (in cm3 molecule-1 s-1): methylvinyl ketone (5.4±0.6)×10-18; methacrolein (1.3±0.14)×10-18; methacrylic acid (4.1±0.4)×10-18; and acrylic acid (0.65±0.13)×10-18. Results are found to be consistent with the Criegee mechanism of the gas-phase ozonolysis. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 30: 769-776, 1998

    Notes: The reduction of iodine by hydroxylamine within the [H+] range 3×10-1-3×10-4 mol.L-1 was first studied until completion of the reaction. In most cases, the concentration of iodine decreased monotonically. However, within a narrow range of reagent concentrations ([NH3OH+]0/[I2]0 ratio below 15, [H+] around 0.1 mol.L-1, and ionic strength around 0.1 mol.L-1), the [I2] and [I3-] vs. time curves showed 2 and 3 extrema, respectively. This peculiar phenomenon is discussed using a 4 reaction scheme (I2+I-⇔I3-, 2 I2+NH3OH++H2O→HNO2+4 I-+5 H+, NH3OH++HNO2→N2O+2 H2O+H+, and 2 HNO2+2 I-+2 H+→2 NO+I2+2 H2O). In a flow reactor, sustained oscillations in redox potential were recorded with an extremely long period (around 24 h).The kinetics of the reaction was then investigated in the starting conditions. The proposed rate equation points out a reinforcement of the inhibition by hydrogen ions when [H+] is above 4×10-2 mol.L-1 at 25°C. A mechanism based on ion-transfer reactions is postulated. It involves both NH2OH and NH3OH+ as the reducing reactive species. The additional rate suppression by H+ at low pH would be connected to the existence of H2OI+ in the reactive medium. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 30: 785-797, 1998

    Notes: Kinetic studies of the oxidation of the bis[1-hydroxy-2-(salicylideneamino)ethane]manganese(II) complex by hydrogen peroxide in acetonitrile solutions, at (30.0±0.2)°C, are described. A first-order dependence on the total manganese and the peroxide concentrations was verified, leading to the rapid formation of a Mn(III) intermediate, monitored by stopped-flow measurements, at 394 nm, with a rate constant kf=(1.15±0.03)×105 mol-1 dm3 s-1. The participation of hydroxyl radicals in the process was detected by spin-trapping EPR spectra. The final product was monitored both by EPR spectra, and spectrophotometrically by the slow decay of the intermediary Mn(III) species, with a rate constant kd=(2.60±0.09) s-1. It was identified as the corresponding mononuclear Mn(IV) complex, and characterized by different spectroscopic techniques. Comparative results of the reactivity of the starting complex versus molecular oxygen, leading to the same final product, were also discussed. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Diffuse Interface Model (DIM) is introduced to describe the mechanism of high-temperature corrosion/internal oxidation. The zone has dissolved oxygen and metal atoms diffuse and react resulting in the inward movement of zone. The high-temperature oxidation data for cobalt, iron, and nickel, which are for metal deficit (p-type), have been analyzed using a nonlinear optimization method to obtain the optimal values for different parameters, diffusivity of metal atoms in metal oxide, diffiusivity of gaseous species in the corrosion product, diffusivity of oxidant in the unreacted solid (metal or alloy), the rate constant for the reaction and the fraction of the zone reacted. The expression for diffusivity in the reaction zone has been modified by relating diffusivities of the product layer and the core as function of fraction of zone reacted. The model was applied to the experimental data for the high-temperature oxidation of cobalt, iron, and nickel by pure oxygen at an atmospheric pressure. The model predicts the values of diffusion coefficients, preexponential factors, and activation energies for diffusion process, which are generally compared favorably with those reported in the literature. Linear relationship are derived relating the diffusion coefficient in the core and product layer to the parabolic rate constant which is valid for iron, cobalt, and nickel for high-temperature oxidation (900-1350°C) by oxygen at an atmospheric pressure according to the following equations:\scriptfont4=\seveni \scriptscriptfont4=\fivei $$D_{\rm P}=1.4\times 10^{-8}\ \it k_{g}$$ $$D_{\rm C}=6.9\times 10^{-9}\ \it k_{g}$$The results of the model have been successfully used to predict the experimentally determined parabolic rate constants for the oxidation of cobalt at high temperatures for two different investigators [6,7] under similar conditions. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The reaction of 1-butanethiol with hydrogen atoms was investigated at room temperature under pressures of 133, 266, 532, 2660, and 5320 Pa, using two types of fast-flow discharge reactors; the main products were n-butane and 1-butene with total yields of more than 90%. In the reaction of 1-butanethiol and deuterium atoms, monodeuterated 1-butanethiol was observed by a photo-ionizing mass spectrometer. The relative rate of the two initial reactions of 1-butanethiol with hydrogen atoms was 0.272 (k1/k2). The n-butane and 1-butene are considered to be produced via chemically activated 1-butanethiol on the basis of the pressure dependence of the two main products.\scriptfont4=\seveni \scriptscriptfont4=\fivei \halign{\hfill $#$&$#$\hfill &$#$\hfill &\hfill\qquad\qquad #\cr\rm 1\hbox{-}C_{4}H_{9}S&\rm H&\rm +H\longrightarrow 1\hbox{-}C_{4}H_{9}\cdot +H_{2}S& (1)\cr \rm 1\hbox{-}C_{4}H_{9}S&\rm H&\rm +H\longrightarrow 1\hbox{-}C_{4}H_{9}S\cdot +H_{2}& (2)\cr\rm 1\hbox{-}C_{4}H_{9}S&\rm \cdot &\rm +H\longrightarrow 1\hbox{-}C_{4}H_{9}SH\ast & (3)\cr } \bigskip\rm{}Relative rates of molecular elimination of hydrogen sulfide and C—S bond fission for the chemically activated 1-butanethiol, k5/k4 and k6/k4, were 0.114 and 0.0552 under 532 Pa of pressure at room temperature.

    Notes: Manganese(III) solutions were prepared by known electrochemical methods in sulfuric acid, acetic acid, and pyrophosphate media. The nature of the oxidizing species present in manganese(III) solutions was characterized by spectrophotometric and redox potential measurements. Kinetics of oxidation of L-glutamine by manganese(III) in sulfuric acid (1.5 M), acetic acid (60% v/v), and pyrophosphate (pH=1.3) media at 313 K, 323 K, and 328 K, respectively, have been studied. Three different rate laws have been obtained for the three media. Effects of varying ionic strength, solvent composition, and added anions, such as fluoride, chloride, perchlorate, pyrophosphate, and bisulfate, have been investigated. There is evidence for the existence of free radicals as transient species. Activation parameters have been evaluated using Arrhenius and Eyring plots. Mechanisms consistent with the observed kinetic data have been proposed and discussed. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet: 30: 7-19, 1998.

    Notes: We have examined the kinetics and mechanism of the dediazoniation reaction of p-methylbenzenediazonium tetrafluoroborate in the presence and absence of CuCl2 using a methodology developed by us that allows, simultaneously, and within the same experiment to identify, to quantify, and to obtain the rate constants for the formation of all dediazoniation products, and, indirectly, the rate constant for the diazonium salt decomposition. The methodology developed combines the use of coupling reactions, to form a stable azo dye, followed by analysis by HPLC. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 30: 31-39, 1998.

    Notes: The effects of reagent concentration and the pH in the kinetic behavior of the dissociation of Fe(II)-fulvic acid complexes were studied using a spectrophotometric technique. The results show that this behavior is not strongly affected by the concentration of fulvic acid, the concentration of the metal cation on the ratio of these concentrations and that variations in pH are more important in the dissociation process. A possible explanation based in the relative influence of proton concentration on the stability of the complexes is proposed. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet: 30: 63-67,1998.

    Notes: Data relative to methane trapping of SiCl2 and a rate constant for the SiCl2 into C(SINGLEBOND)H bond insertion process of k-1=13.4 M-1s-1 at 921 K are reported. Results on the decomposition of the trapping product, methyldichlorosilane, are also reported. This decomposition follows first-order kinetics with a rate constant of k=1.5±0.2×10-3 s-1 at 905 K and produces methane, trichlorosilane, methyltrichlorosilane, and tetrachlorosilane. It is argued that the decomposition involves silylene intermediates, is nonchain, and is initiated primarily by the molecular methane elimination process MeSiHCl2(SINGLEBOND)1→ CH4+SiCl2. Free radicals and Si(SINGLEBOND)C bond fission may also contribute to the decomposition but are not dominant. The kinetics of MeSiHCl2 decomposition are shown to be consistent with the kinetics of the reverse SiCl2/CH4 trapping reaction and with the overall reaction thermochemistry. Reaction modeling gives product yields, reactant conversions, and rates in reasonable agreement with the data. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 30: 89-97, 1998.

    Notes: This article is concerned with the application of a new method to recover the rate constants in chemical reactions. The method is based on treating the unknown parameters as time dependent. With appropriate experimental data the unknown rate constants are guided from an arbitrary initial condition to their true value at a final time. An explicit equation describing the time evolution of the parameters is obtained by minimizing the error along the trajectory. The method leads to an iterative algorithm which is described in detail. Numerical results with the method indicate that accurate estimates of the rate constants can be obtained directly from experimental data. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The rate constants were determined for the nitrosation reactions of the following substrates: Methyl (MU), Ethyl (EU),Propyl (PU)Butyl (BU), and Allylurea (AU). The rate equation found at a constant pH was: v=k[HNO2] [Urea]. The reactions were carried out in predominantly organic media(dioxane-acetic acid-water) with differing polarities. The proposed reaction mechanism involves the proton transfer from the protonated N-alkyl-N-nitrosourea to the acetate anion. As the polarity of the medium decreased, an approximation of the rate constants of the nitrosation of the different substrates was observed. This approximation can be interpreted as a function of the impediment generated by the R alkyl radical in the rate controlling step. Accordingly, the substrate reactivity will be associated with the ease in which the protonated N-alkyl-N nitrosurea can transfer the proton to the acetate anion. The results achieved in this study are in accordance with there activities observed in the nitrosation of these substrates in aqueous media MU≫(EU≈PU≈BU)〉AU. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Ab initio calculations have been used to characterize the transition states for halogen abstraction by CH3 in reactions with CF4, CF3Cl, CF3Br, and CF3I (1-4). Geometries and frequencies were obtained at the HF/6-31G(d) and MP2=full/6-31G(d) levels of theory. Energy barriers were computed via the Gaussian-2 methodology, and the results were employed in transition state theory analyses to obtain the rate constants over 298-2500 K. There is good accord with literature measurements in the approximate temperature range 360-500 K for reactions (2-4), and the computed activation energies are accurate to within ±6 kJ mol-1. Recommended rate constant expressions for use in combustion modeling are k;1=1.6×10-19 (T/K)2.41 exp(-13150 K/T), k2=8.4×10-20(T/K)2.34 exp(-5000 K/T), k3=4.6×10-19 (T/K)2.05 exp(-3990 K/T), and k4=8.3×10-19 (T/K)2.18 exp(-1870 K/T) cm3 molecule-1 s-1.

    Notes: The kinetics of decomposition of azetidine {(CH2)3N(SINGLEBOND)H)} was measured using single-pulse shock-tube techniques, over the temperature range 855-1100 K, in high argon dilution. These data confirm and extend an earlier investigation that utilized the very low-pressure pyrolysis method. A brief survey of many reports regarding the interesting features of azetidine is presented. In two appendices the thermodynamic and kinetic data on trimethylene sulfide, oxide, and immine are intercompared.

    Notes: Dual-phase oscillations are observed in Belousov-Zhabotinsky system with 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde (vanillin) as the substrate and manganous sulphate or ammonium Ce(IV) sulphate as the catalyst. The nonoscillatory period of time between the two phases decreases with increase in the concentration of the catalyst and the substrate. Under uncatalyzed and ferroin catalyzed conditions the system exhibits single-phase oscillations. The first-phase oscillations are due to vanillin whereas the second-phase oscillations are brought about by 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoic acid (vanillic acid) formed during the course of the first-phase reactions. The reactions are explained with relevant steps of the FKN mechanism. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J. Chem. Kinet 30: 201-206, 1998.

    Notes: A discharge flow reactor coupled to a laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) detector and a mass spectrometer was used to study the kinetics of the reactions CH3O+Br→products (1) and CH3O+BrO→products (2). From the kinetic analysis of CH3O by LIF in the presence of an excess of Br or BrO, the following rate constants were obtained at 298 K: k1=(7.0±0.4)×10-11 cm3 molecule-1 s-1 and k2=(3.8±0.4)×10-11 cm3 molecule-1 s-1. The data obtained are useful for the interpretation of other laboratory studies of the reactions of CH3O2 with Br and BrO. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 30: 249-255, 1998.

    Notes: The title reactions are subjected to a kinetic analysis in 44 wt% ethanol-water, at 25.0°C, ionic strength 0.2 (KCl). With a large excess of amine over the substrate, pseudo-first-order rate coefficients (kobs) are obtained, which are linearly dependent on the amine concentration. The nucleophilic rate constants (kN) are determined from plots of kobs vs. amine concentration. The Brönsted-type plot obtained with the kN values is linear, with slope β=0.63. The magnitude of this slope suggests that the mechanism is concerted, as opposed to a stepwise process with rate-determining breakdown of a zwitterionic tetrahedral intermediate (T±), in which the value of β is usually 0.8-1.0. The pyridinolysis of the same substrate in the same solvent is stepwise with the breakdown of T± as the rate-determining step. The change to a concerted mechanism for the title reactions is attributed to the superior nucleofugality of the alicyclic amines, compared to the isobasic pyridines, which destabilizes kinetically the “intermediate” T± in such a way that it does not exist, and the mechanism becomes enforced concerted. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Kinetics and mechanism of the reaction of Cr(VI) with oxalic acid have been studied in presence and absence of H2SO4, HClO4, and CH3COOH by monitoring the formation of Cr(III)-oxalic acid complex at 560 nm. The effect of total [oxalic acid], [Cr(VI)], [H2SO4], [HClO4], and [CH3COOH] on the reaction rate was determined at 30°C. Formation of carbon dioxide was also confirmed. The oxidation rate increases with [oxalic acid] and [CH3COOH] while it decreases with [H2SO4], [HClO4], and pH. The rate law governing the oxidation of oxalic acid over a wide range of conditions is rate=k1 Kes1 [oxalic acid]T [Cr(VI)]T 1+Kes1 [oxalic acid]T, where only undissociated oxalic acid is kinetically active. Kinetic evidence for the formation of a Cr(VI)(SINGLEBOND)oxalic acid 1:1 complex has been obtained and the equilibrium constant for their formation has been determined. The 1:1 complex exists most likely in an open chain form. The rate-limiting step of the oxidation reaction involves the breaking of the C(SINGLEBOND)C bond in the 1:2 complex. Oxidizing ability of Cr(VI) species have been discussed. Mechanism with the associated reaction kinetics is assigned. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 30: 335-340, 1998

    Notes: The reaction of trans-[Cr(Salen)(OH2)2]+ with aqueous sulfite yields trans-[Cr(Salen)(OH2)(OSO2(SINGLEBOND)O)]- (O-bonded isomer). The rate and activation parameter data for the formation of the sulfito complex are consistent with a mechanism involving rate-limiting addition of SO2 to the CrIII(SINGLEBOND)OH bond. The complex ions, trans-[(OH2)Cr(Salen)(OSO2(SINGLEBOND)O)]-, and trans-[(OH)Cr(Salen)(OSO2(SINGLEBOND)O)]2-, undergo reversible anation by NCS-, N3-, imidazole, and pyridine resulting in the formation of trans-[XCr(Salen)(OSO2(SINGLEBOND)O)](N+1)-(n=1 for X=N3-,NCS-, and 0 for X=imidazole and pyridine) predominantly via dissociative interchange mechanism. The labilizing action of the coordinated sulfite on the trans-CrIII-X bond in trans-[XCr(Salen)(OSO2)](n+1)- follows the sequence: NCS-pyridine ca. N3- ca. imidazole. Data analysis indicated that the coordinated sulfite has little trans activating influence. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 30: 373-384, 1998

    Notes: Using a relative rate method, rate constants have been measured for the gas-phase reactions of the OH radical with the dibasic esters dimethyl succinate [CH3OC(O)CH2CH2C(O)OCH3], dimethyl glutarate [CH3OC(O)CH2CH2CH2C(O)OCH3], and dimethyl adipate [CH3OC(O)CH2CH2CH2CH2C(O)OCH3] at 298±3 K. The rate constants obtained were (in units of 10-12 cm3 molecule-1 s-1): dimethyl succinate, 1.4±0.6; dimethyl glutarate, 3.3±1.1; and dimethyl adipate, 8.4±2.5, where the indicated errors include the estimated overall uncertainty of ±25% in the rate constant for cyclohexane, the reference compound. The calculated tropospheric lifetimes of these dibasic esters due to gas-phase reaction with the OH radical range from 1.4 days for dimethyl adipate to 8.3 days for dimethyl succinate for a 24 h average OH radical concentration of 1.0×106 molecule cm-3. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Pulse radiolysis was used to study the kinetics of the reactions of CH3C(O)CH2O2 radicals with NO and NO2 at 295 K. By monitoring the rate of formation and decay of NO2 using its absorption at 400 and 450 nm the rate constants k(CH3C(O)CH2O2+NO)=(8±2)×10-12 and k(CH3C(O)CH2O2+NO2)=(6.4±0.6)×10-12 cm3 molecule-1 s-1 were determined. Long path length Fourier transform infrared spectrometers were used to investigate the IR spectrum and thermal stability of the peroxynitrate, CH3C(O)CH2O2NO2. A value of k-6≈3 s-1 was determined for the rate of thermal decomposition of CH3C(O)CH2O2NO2 in 700 torr total pressure of O2 diluent at 295 K. When combined with lower temperature studies (250-275 K) a decomposition rate of k-6=1.9×1016 exp (-10830/T) s-1 is determined. Density functional theory was used to calculate the IR spectrum of CH3C(O)CH2O2NO2. Finally, the rate constants for reactions of the CH3C(O)CH2 radical with NO and NO2 were determined to be k(CH3C(O)CH2+NO)=(2.6±0.3)×10-11 and k(CH3C(O)CH2+NO2)=(1.6±0.4)×10-11 cm3 molecule-1 s-1. The results are discussed in the context of the atmospheric chemistry of acetone and the long range atmospheric transport of NOx. © John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet: 30: 475-489, 1998
