Hazard evaluation for chlorination and amination reactions of fluorocytosine production process

Reaction thermal runaway is one of the most important reasons leading to chemical accidents. With the rapid development of the chemical industry in the world, especially the fine chemical industry, various safety accidents also occur frequently. Therefore, it is necessary to study the exothermic behavior of the reaction process. In this study, reaction calorimeter was used to study the exothermic phenomena during the chlorination reaction and amination reaction. Differential scanning calorimetry was performed on the reactants, and thermogravimetric experiments were performed on the products. In addition, adiabatic experiment was performed to study the thermal runaway behavior of amination products under adiabatic conditions. The results showed that the target reactions generated a large amount of heat in the initial stage. The maximum temperature of amination reaction is higher than the initial decomposition temperature of the amination product under adiabatic condition. The pyrolysis of amination product was divided into three stages. The product had a high apparent activation energy at the beginning of decomposition, and the apparent activation energy decreased as the decomposition progressed.
