Abstract

1,1-Di (tert-butylperoxy) cyclohexane (1, 1-DTBCH), as an important organic peroxide, is commonly used as initiator, curing agent and crosslinking agent in the chemical industry. Due to the presence of peroxy bonds, the thermal instability of 1, 1-DTBCH may incur a decomposition reaction and cause further thermal runaway. The thermal decomposition characteristics and runaway reaction characteristics of 1, 1-DTBCH were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and accelerated rate calorimetry (ARC). The kinetic triplet and thermal safety parameters were calculated by using non-isothermal method. The gaseous products and pyrolysis products of 1, 1-DTBCH was investigated by thermogravimetric and infrared spectroscopy (TG-FTIR) and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The thermal decomposition pathway of 1, 1-DTBCH was explored with density functional theory (DFT). The exothermic dominant reaction in the thermal decomposition process of 1, 1-DTBCH was explored by combining experiment and theoretical calculation. The corresponding safety control measures were provided to reduce the thermal runaway hazard of 1, 1-DTBCH.
