Summary of Guide4.1 A sample is placed in a reaction container and posi-tioned in the calorimeter (see Fig. 1).4.2 The bomb is heated to a user-specified initial tempera-ture and allowed to come to eq

25、uilibrium, whereupon a searchfor evidence of an exothermic reaction is undertaken. Anexotherm is considered to have occurred when the user-specified rate of temperature rise is first exceeded. If noexotherm is detected, the system temperature is raised aspecified increment and the system allowed to

26、equilibrateagain. This heat-wait-search cycle is repeated until either anexotherm is detected or the upper temperature limit of the testis reached. If an exotherm is detected, the surroundings arekept at the same temperature as the reaction container, allowingFIG. 1 Example Calorimeter and Reaction

27、ContainerE 1981 98 (2004)2the system to be maintained without heat loss as the tempera-ture of the system increases due to the heat evolved during theexotherm.4.3 Time, temperature, and pressure data are recorded atspecified temperature intervals as a function of time. Addi-tional user-selected para

28、meters may also be recorded or stored.4.4 The recorded data are used to calculate the time rates ofchanges of pressure and temperature. These data may also beused to calculate a time-to-maximum rate (as defined in 3.1.12)and to obtain kinetic parameters (1-9)3for simple, non-autocatalytic exothermic

29、 reactions using the equations speci-fied in the vendors manual (subject to the limitations of 6.5).These data may also be adjusted for the sample- and container-specific heats to calculate an adiabatic temperature rise andheat of reaction.5. Significance and Use5.1 The data from this guide seldom,

30、if ever, directlysimulate thermal and pressure events in the processing, storage,and shipping of chemicals. However, the data obtained fromthis guide may be used, with suitable precautions, to predict thethermal and pressure hazards associated with processing,storage, and shipping of a chemical or m

This has been addressed inthe literature (1-9) but is beyond the scope of this guide.5.2 This guide is suitable, under the proper conditions, forthe investigation of the effects of catalyst, inhibitors, initiators,reaction atmospheres, materi

32、als of construction, or, if avail-able, agitation (see 6.1.2).5.3 Interpretation of the time-temperature or time-pressuredata may be possible for relatively simple systems through theuse of suitable temperature-dependent kinetic theories such asthe Arrhenius and Absolute Reaction Rate theories (10-1

33、1).6. Limitations6.1 This guide requires good heat transfer within the sampleand between the sample and the container and, therefore, issubject to the following limitations:6.1.1 Solid samples or systems where heat transfer couldbecome rate-limiting may not yield quantitatively reliable orconsistent

34、 results, and6.1.2 Heterogeneous systems may not give meaningfulresults. A qualitative indication of change in reaction rate maybe obtained by (optional) agitation, but the observed reactionrates may be strongly dependent on the rate and efficiency ofthe agitation. Loss of agitation may also affect

35、observedreaction rates.6.2 Accurate tracking of very high or very low self-heatrates may not be quantitatively reliable and is equipmentdependent.6.3 Endothermic reactions can be observed but generally arenot quantitatively measured.6.4 The determination of enthalpies of reaction is based onan accur

36、ate knowledge of the (temperature-dependent) heatcapacities of the reactants, products, and container. The calcu-lation is also dependent on the temperature tracking accuracyof the system (see 6.2).6.5 The use of the equations specified for the determinationof kinetic parameters (see, for example, A

37、ppendix X1) may notbe suitable in many instances, especially when multiple reac-tions are involved.6.6 Data may be obtained in the temperature range consis-tent with the calorimeters specifications and at pressures up tothose consistent with the limitation of the pressure transduceror the material o

38、f construction of the bomb.6.7 Modifications to the calorimeter can significantly alterthe performance of the instrument. It is the users responsibilityto assure that modifications do not alter the precision oraccuracy of the instrument.6.8 If the thermal inertia (f) factor for the experimentdiffers

39、 significantly from that of the system it is intended tosimulate, any reaction mechanism observed experimentallymay not be the same as the true reaction mechanism that existsin the system being simulated.6.9 In the determination of kinetic parameters, the possibil-ity of autocatalytic reaction mecha

40、nisms must be considered.7. Hazards7.1 The thermal stability characteristics, impact character-istics, (see Test Method E 476, E 487, E 537, E 680, and E 698,Practice E 1231 and Ref. 12), or friction sensitivity character-istics of the sample, or a combination thereof, should beassessed, as it is of

41、ten necessary to grind (see Note 1) orcompact the sample prior to or during loading into the samplecontainer. Additional physical properties of the sample mayalso need to be determined, such as sensitivity to electrostaticdischarge.NOTE 1Caution should be used in grinding sample materials, aspolymor

42、phic changes can occur, thus altering the nature of the sample.7.2 If the device incorporates a pressure-relief device, itshould be periodically inspected for possible corrosion orphysical damage, which may result in improper operation.7.3 Operation of the relief device or rupture of the bombmay res

43、ult in the release of toxic or noxious fumes, which mayescape into the immediate operating area. The calorimeter,therefore, should be properly vented.7.4 When venting the sample container at the end of the test,suitable precautions should be taken prior to lifting the topcover of the calorimeter in

44、order to prevent exposure of theoperator to a potentially highly pressurized container capableof rupture without warning.7.5 Bombs and transducer lines may become plugged,preventing normal operation of any relief device or vent valve.Therefore, exercise caution and use appropriate personal pro-tecti

Depressurization and subsequent openingof the sample container at the end of the test should beperformed in a safe manner, taking into consideration potential,unanticipated pressure releases or exposure to the operator, orb

48、d Ref. 12) should always be sufficientlylimited so as to minimize the potential for rupture of the samplecontainer due to overpressurization.7.9 Any safety interlock on the device should not bedefeated.8.
