Abstract
In this article, the thermal stability of tert-butyl perbenzoate (TBPB) mixed with different concentrations of toluene and p-tert-butylcatechol (TBC) was investigated. The exothermic onset temperature (T 0), the heat of decomposition (ΔH), and the adiabatic temperature rise (ΔTad ) of the samples were obtained by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Phi-TEC II adiabatic calorimetry. The apparent activation energy (Ea ) and the maximum reaction rate arrival time under adiabatic conditions were obtained by adiabatic kinetic calculations for 8 h (TD8 ) and 24 h (TD24 ). Based on Semenov’s theory, the self-accelerated decomposition temperature was calculated as a support for safe storage and transport. The results of DSC and Phi-TEC II showed that toluene was effective in reducing the thermal hazard during the decomposition of TBPB. The addition of TBC caused side reactions. The moderate addition of toluene and TBC improves the thermal stability of TBPB and can improve the safety of TBPB in industrial applications.
