• Recurring Causes of Recent Chemical Accidents
  , potassium carbonate and benzaldehyde exploded, triggering a major fire. Water-reactive chemicals in the blender underwent an exothermic reaction after water contaminated the blender. Four fatalities and numerous injuries resulted. A nearby river was contaminated by runoff of firefighting water...
• Self-Priming Horizontal Pump for Chemical Plant
  with the liquid being pumped (ex. danger of exothermic reactions) or cases in which the water is incompatible with atmospheric conditions (ex. installations in surroundings at temperatures far below 0 C). The double seal can also be used to protect the liquid being pumped from possible...
• Thermite Welding
  Thermite welding uses an exothermic chemical reaction process to weld components together. A metal powder which releases a great deal of energy (highly exothermic) when reacting with oxygen, is combined with the metal oxide with a much lower heat of formation. An example of a thermite welding...
• New Urethane Technology for Potting & Encapsulation in Electronics
  . Epoxies are generally hard and tough materials. They provide excellent mechanical properties, good chemical resistance and good adhesion. However, they do not protect delicate components during thermal cycling and may provide stress during the exothermic cure. Silicones are excellent for high operating...
• When Less is Much, Much More
  batch reactors. Without altering fundamental reaction kinetics, microreactors permit extremely exothermic reactions to proceed smoothly, allowing chemical reactions that usually take hours to be completed within seconds. Volker Hessel, Ph.D., vice R&D director for the Institut für Mikrotechnik Mainz...
• Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Foaming
  asked questions about SAFOAM®/SAFTEC® are given below. They are based on our experience in the commercial use of SAFOAM®/SAFTEC® with various customers. GENERAL INFORMATION. Q.1) What is the difference between endothermic and exothermic Chemical Foaming Agents (CFAs)?. A.) Exothermic CFAs...
• Accurate Temperature Control for the Separation of Solvents from Liquid Samples (.pdf)
  , including the new Thermo Scientific refrigerated and heated bath circulators and the Thermo Scientific ThermoFlex series of re-circulating chillers, which can be used to effectively maintain the precise temperatures during exothermic and endothermic stages of compound separation...
• Bulk Material Combustion Warning Systems (.pdf)
  Many bulk materials, such as coal and organic wastes, are stored as large piles in open yards where air and moisture promote decomposition and exothermic reactions that raise the pile's temperature. Since self-ignition usually starts within the pile's lower layers, a full-blown fire can develop...
• A beginner's guide to combustion optimization Improve efficiency, lower environmental impact, reduce downtime
  of exothermic chemical reactions. Sulphur oxides (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NO, NO2) plus nitrogen. between a fuel and an oxidant accompanied by the. production of heat or both heat and light". The term hydrocarbon fuels is not restricted to the traditional. fossil fuels of coal, oil and gas, but also...
• MICRO: Measuring and controlling wafer temperature during plasma etching
  lower electrode, where the wafer rests. If heat transfer between the wafer and the electrode is good, this set point determines the initial wafer temperature. Subsequent exposure to heat from ion bombardment and exothermic chemical reactions causes the wafer temperature to rise above this level. Wafer...
