Title Gaseous mixtures containing monosilane
Original title Monosilanhaltige Gasgemische [in German]
Bibliographic information Sep. 1976. No.9, p.299-302. 5 ref.
Abstract Description of research to determine the maximum concentration of monosilane in argon, nitrogen and hydrogen, to prevent the spontaneous combustion of monosilane when these mixtures are released into the atmosphere. The article recalls the properties of monosilane (silicomethane) and the conditions for its thermal decomposition. The results of the research carried out show that mixtures of 1.5mol% monosilane in argon, 2mol% in nitrogen and 2.5mol% in hydrogen may be handled without risk of spontaneous combustion.
