| Abstract |
Literature survey, with particular reference to the explosive limits of chlorine-hydrogen mixtures and to the influence of oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, hydrochloric acid, water vapour and carbon monoxide. Study of the explosibility of Cl2-H2 mixtures showed that an extremely low energy level (10-7joule) is sufficient to cause their combustion and that their flammability range is extremely wide. The influence of certain oxidising agents and inert gases is studied with the aid of graphs. The flammable limits found are subject to a certain degree of scatter, which must be taken into account in technical prevention measures. |
