Runaway Prevention in Cumene Hydroperoxide Storage Tanks
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work thermal runaway of cumene hydroperoxide (CHP) in a storage tank with constant jacket temperature is considered. The divergence method developed by Strozzi and Zaldivar (1994) based on the concept of parametric sensitivity and a runaway criterion focused on a set of critical parameters identified by Velo et al. (1996) have been applied to our system. The results obtained from the computer programs derived from the two methods have been compared and discussed. For the case of our interest the boundaries between safe and runaway zones in the parameter space computed according to the divergence method have proved to be too conservative when compared with Velo et al. (1996) results.

Thermal hazard assessment on hydroperoxides-examples on cumene hydroperoxide
Distributed Multimedia Information System Laboratory School of Computer Science, Florida International University Miami, FL 33199, USA Abstract Since the nineteenth century, the chemical process industries have developed rapidly not only in terms of degree of complexity and throughput, but also in potential hazards. Such hazards exist when chemicals undergo decomposition, polymerization or othe...
متن کاملGeneration of free radicals from organic hydroperoxide tumor promoters in isolated mouse keratinocytes. Formation of alkyl and alkoxyl radicals from tert-butyl hydroperoxide and cumene hydroperoxide.
The organic hydroperoxides tert-butyl hydroperoxide and cumene hydroperoxide are tumor promoters in the skin of SENCAR mice, and this activity is presumed to be mediated through the activation of the hydroperoxides to free radical species. In this study we have assessed the generation of free radicals from organic hydroperoxides in the target cell (the murine basal keratinocyte) using electron ...
متن کاملohr, Encoding an organic hydroperoxide reductase, is an in vivo-induced gene in Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae.
Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae is the causative agent of porcine pleuropneumonia, a disease characterized by pulmonary necrosis and hemorrhage caused in part by neutrophil degranulation. In an effort to understand the pathogenesis of this disease, we have developed an in vivo expression technology (IVET) system to identify genes that are specifically up-regulated during infection. One of the g...
متن کاملStudies on hydroperoxide-dependent substrate hydroxylation by purified liver microsomal cytochrome P-450.
Highly purified liver microsomal cytochrome P-450 catalyzes the hydroperoxide-dependent hydroxylation of a variety of substrates in the absence of NADPH, NADPHcytochrome P-450 reductase, and molecular oxygen. The addition of phosphatidylcholine is necessary for maximal activity. The absence of flavoproteins and cytochrome b, from the cytochromeP-450 preparations rules out the involvement of oth...

Cumene hydroperoxide (CHP) is widely used in chemical processes, mainly as an initiator for the polymerization of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene. It is a typical organic peroxide and an explosive substance. It is susceptible to thermal decomposition and is readily affected by contamination; moreover, it has high thermal sensitivity. The reactor tank, transit storage vessel, and pipeline used f...
