Abstract
This article studies the thermokinetics and safety parameters of cumene hydroperoxide CHP manufactured in the first oxidation tower Vent sizing package 2 VSP2 an adiabatic calorimeter was employed to determine reaction kinetics the exothermic onset temperature T 0 reaction order n ignition runaway temperature T C I etc The n value and activation energy E a of 15 mass CHP were calculated to be 05 and 1202 kJ mol−1 respectively The heat generation rate Q g of 15 mass CHP compared with hS cooling rate = 67 J min−1 K−1 of heat balance the T SE and the critical extinction temperature T C E under 110 °C of ambient temperature T a were calculated 111 and 207 °C respectively The Q g of 15 mass CHP compared with hS = 03 J min−1 K−1 of heat balance was applied to determine the T C I that was evaluated to be 116 °C This article describes the best operating conditions when handling CHP starting from the first oxidation tower
