Ammonium nitrate thermal decomposition with additives

Runaway reactions present a potentially serious threat to the chemical process industry and the community; such reactions occur time and time again often with devastating consequences. The main objective of this research is to study the root causes associated with ammonium nitrate (AN) explosions during storage. The research focuses on AN fertilizers and studies the effects of different types of fertilizer compatible additives on AN thermal decomposition. Reactive Systems Screening Tool (RSST) has been used for reactivity evaluation and to better understand the mechanisms that result in explosion hazards. The results obtained from this tool have been reported in terms of parameters such as “onset” temperature, rate of temperature and pressure rise and maximum temperature. The runaway behavior of AN has been studied as a solid and solution in water. The effect of additives such as sodium sulfate (Na₂SO₄) and potassium chloride (KCl) has also been studied. Multiple tests have been conducted to determine the characteristics of AN decomposition accurately. The results show that the presence of sodium sulfate can increase the “onset” temperature of AN decomposition thus acting as AN thermal decomposition inhibitor, while potassium chloride tends to decrease the “onset” temperature thus acting as AN thermal decomposition promoter.     

乳化炸药高压热分解试验研究

为分析压力在乳化炸药泵送事故中的影响,运用高压加速量热仪对乳化炸药、硝酸铵和含有10%水分的硝酸铵样品热分解特性进行研究。结果表明:压力对于乳化炸药,硝酸铵和含有10%水分硝酸铵样品的热分解有着显著的影响,压力条件下虽然起始分解温度基本没有变化,但是样品反应速率有了显著的升高,导致放热量增大。水分的存在阻碍硝酸铵的热分解,在乳化炸药配方中适当增加水份含量可以提高乳化炸药生产安全性。分析认为相比于温度,压力对于泵送事故的影响更为关键。

Investigative consequence analysis: A case study research of beirut explosion accident

Around 15:00 GMT on August 4th, an explosion occurred in the warehouse facility storing Ammonium Nitrate (AN) at Beirut port, Lebanon. The explosion resulted in more than 178 fatalities and injured more than 6500 people, and also left an estimated 300,000 people homeless and registered as an equivalent to a 3.3 magnitude earth quake. The accident was considered to be the largest of its kind and the most severe anthropological disaster of the decade, the financial loss the nation was subjected to post the explosion was estimated to be around $ 15 billion as informed by the governor. The storage conditions of ammonium nitrate at Beirut port is not definitively known to anyone, and there is no documentation provided so far from the authorities regarding the same. This work focuses on the investigation & consequence analysis of the explosion using TNT equivalent approach. The overpressure and the impulse obtained from TNT calculations are used in probit models to assess the damages caused on human beings and structures. The results obtained in this investigative approach are then utilized to provide an analytical inference relative to the damage proxy map reported by the advance rapid imaging analysis team from NASA. Also, this work examines the existing standards, fire safety measures and legal regulations for ammonium nitrate facilities in the region. AN explosion during storage like other fire and explosion accidents are definitely preventable owing to the technological advancements and developments to prevent or extinguish controllable fires. The significance of this work relates to the methods for calculation of consequences of explosion that are happening due to the storage of highly hazardous explosive materials in excessive quantities and insists the necessity of incorporating adequate safety measures while storing such reactive and hazardous materials.     

硝酸及氯离子对高温硝酸铵水溶液热危险性的影响研究

国内外学者对硝酸铵的危险性进行了大量的研究,而对其水溶液的危险性至今开展不多。笔者采用差示扫描量热仪(DSC)及全自动反应量热仪(RC1e)对高温状态下的硝酸铵水溶液的热分解危险性、杂质离子对其稳定性的影响进行了研究。纯硝酸铵和90%硝酸铵水溶液的DSC实验表明,90%硝酸铵溶液和分析纯硝酸铵具有相似的热爆炸危险;90%硝酸铵水溶液在140~180℃之间的RC1e试验表明:硝酸或氯离子单独存在时,对硝酸铵分解都有不同程度的抑制作用,而同时存在时则大大降低体系的热稳定性。该结果对保障硝酸铵在生产、使用过程中的安全具有重要的参考价值。     

Synthesis and characteristic analysis of coal dust explosion suppressant based on surface modification of ammonium dihydrogen phosphate with methyl hydrogen-containing silicone oil

Coal dust explosion is easy to happen in the process of coal pulverization. In order to reduce the risk of coal dust explosion and promote the safety of coal chemical industry, surface modification of the ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (ADP) explosion suppressant was performed with methyl hydrogen-containing silicone oil to obtain modified ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (MADP) powder. The explosion suppression and hydrophobic properties of MADP were tested. The experimental results show that after surface modification, MADP overcomes the defect that the traditional ammonium dihydrogen phosphate explosion suppressant is easily affected by moisture, which results in agglomeration; further, MADP has little or no solubility in water and has excellent hydrophobic properties. After surface modification, MADP has better thermal stability and can withstand higher ambient temperatures. MADP can significantly increase the minimum ignition energy, thus reducing the possibility of combustion and explosion. With the increase in the mass concentration of the explosion suppressant, the maximum explosion pressure gradually decreases and delays. Compared with ADP, MADP has better explosion suppression characteristics and can quickly and efficiently suppress explosion.     

熔融硝盐高温分解爆炸事故后果严重度评价

为评价热处理用硝盐槽熔融硝盐高温分解爆炸事故机理和后果严重度,结合某企业铝合金件硝盐固溶热处理工艺进行研究。 利用压缩气体容器爆炸能量计算模型、超压准则和TNT当量法估算热处理用硝盐槽内熔融硝盐高温分解爆炸事故后果,得出35 000 kg熔融硝盐在高温分解转化率为50%时爆炸的TNT当量为1 257.6 kg,爆炸会造成半径53.97 m范围内的人员轻伤,该结果和利用政府推荐的危险指数法得出的外部防护距离为50 m较为接近。 以上分析计算表明:超温爆炸过程中,熔融硝盐在硝盐槽中超温分解快速产生大量气体,在硝盐槽上盖及上部硝盐的阻挡下不能及时排出,致使硝盐槽内气体压力瞬间升高,形成类似于压力容器的空间,发生物理爆炸并引发高温硝盐喷溅。

Coupling effects of the explosion shock wave and heat radiation on the dynamic response of a fixed-roof tank

The occurrence of leakage in large tank farms or oil deposits can lead to fire or explosion accidents. Coupling effects of fire and explosion loadings can cause considerably more damage to adjacent tanks or buildings than either loading individually does. In this study, the combined loadings of the explosion shock wave and heat radiation from a pool fire on a neighboring empty fixed-roof tank were numerically investigated. The effects of the explosion shock wave intensity and relative height of the explosion center [the ratio of the height of the explosion center to the height of the tank (h_r)] were analyzed. The results indicate that tanks damaged by explosion shock waves have decreased fire resistance and critical buckling temperature. Moreover, the thermal buckling deformation of the predamaged tank largely depends on the explosion shock wave. With an increase in the explosion shock wave intensity or a decrease in h_r, the explosion shock wave has greater influence on the fire resistance of the tank, and the critical buckling temperature decreases. This paper can provide an understanding of the dynamics of a tank under explosion shock wave loading, and of the critical failure criterion and failure modes of a target tank under the coupled loading of the explosion shock wave and an adjacent pool fire.     

Small-scale fire performance assessment of intumescent coatings on metal tubes containing ammonium nitrate. A stepping-stone towards their application as a fire safety measure on road transportation tanks?

Ammonium nitrate is used in vast amounts globally, first and foremost as a component of fertilizers and explosive formulations. This usage necessitates its transportation which, as for most hazardous materials, involves certain risks. For oxidizing materials such as ammonium nitrate, the ultimate consequence of road transportation incidents is usually considered to be fire followed by explosion. Even though the probability in general is low, substantial reduction in its risk is a great gain for public safety. Thus, identifying novel and improving current safety measures for risk reduction, is an important aspect in the field of hazardous materials. Herein, a series of experiments are reported, which demonstrate the fire protection performance of two state-of-the-art intumescent passive fire protection materials on small-scale metal test tubes containing ammonium nitrate. Albeit being initial experiments on laboratory-scale, these results provide a promising starting point for further investigations on the potential of these materials for the fire protection of ammonium nitrate when carried in metal tanks. At its best, a prominent protection of ammonium nitrate from heat exposure was observed, as the temperature was kept well below its boiling point for more than 2.5 h. Successively, it resulted in a complete recovery of the sample material. This was in large contrast to the observed results for the unprotected test tubes, which led to complete decomposition of the sample after 11 min.
