Hazards, the Safety of Reactive Chemicals & Adiabatic Calorimetry
The chemical industry has become a more and more hazardous environment. Since the 1950’s the chemical industry has made larger quantities of more dangerous and more reactive materials. There has been a huge increase in the number of different chemicals produced and in addition, there has been the need to produce these materials both faster and cheaper.
However, there have always been dangers with chemical production. Years ago the chemical products manufactured were inorganic and coal-based and most incidents were with the manufacture of explosives. By the 20th century chemical production was beginning on a large scale, and perhaps the worst and well-known accident occurred in Germany in 1921 when an explosion left 509 people dead. This was an explosion of 4500 tons of fertiliser which was being blasted with dynamite. This may now seem not a good idea, but the process had been carried out 30,000 times without incident.
