Estimating the Explosion Hazard of Aromatic Azo Compounds

摘要

This paper gives the results of temperature measurements at the beginning of fast decomposition of nine commercial azo dyes under heating. The enthalpies of formation of three azo dyes are measured, and the parameters of their explosive transformation are calculated. It is shown that for the flash temperatures obtained using the kinetic parameters of decomposition reactions and calculated heats of explosion of azo dyes, the average deviation from experimental values is 4.5%.
