Thermal Decomposition of Hexamethylene Tetramine

Tetramine poisoning.

We report on two patients who presented with status epilepticus due to ingestion of rat poison containing tetramine. Both had eaten the same meal, subsequently presumed to be the source of the poison. Physical examination and investigation were unremarkable and diagnosis was based on patient history. Seizures were ultimately controlled with ketamine, after unsuccessful attempt of benzodiazepine...

Antidotes for tetramine poisoning.

In medicine, the following definition based on Hobb’s recommendations is commonly used: (a) Abuse is a willful and deliberate act by a caregiver resulting in physical injury of the child. (b) Neglect is the failure of the caregiver to take minimal precautions for the proper supervision of the child’s health, thus failing to protect the child from injury. (c) Accident is a lapse in the usual pro...

Thermal stability and thermal decomposition of sucralose

Several papers have been described on the thermal stability of the sweetener, C12H19Cl3O8 (Sucralose). Nevertheless no study using thermoanalytical techniques was found in the literature. Simultaneous thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and infrared spectroscopy, have been used to study the thermal stability and thermal decomposit...

The Role of Boron in Thermal Decomposition of Ammonium Perchlorate

Simultaneous thermal analysis (STA) method has been applied to study decomposition reactions of AP under a flowing nitrogen atmosphere and static air. Results obtained indicate that a phase transformation occurs prior to the decomposition reaction. Decomposition takes place exothermally in two stages, first stage of decomposition could be suppressed by the controlled heating programme. Addi...
