Abstract

Thermal Ignition of “high strength” calcium hypochlorite has been studied. From small-scale experiments, the apparent activation energy (E) and the frequency factor (A) for the ignition reaction have been obtained as follows: E = 29.5 kcal/mol; A = 8.74 × 1013/min.The critical ignition temperatures are 77°C and 75°C for commercial containers of 35.4 cm and 38.2 cm diameters, respectively. These temperatures agree closely with the extrapolated ones and the results of computer simulation based on the thermal ignition theory.
