Pamphlet 121) Explosive Properties of Gaseous Mixtures Containing Hydrogen and Chlorine: Operational Guidance and Research References.

Edition 4 - March 2016

This pamphlet  brings together in a single source all known pertinent, published references on explosive properties of gaseous mixtures containing hydrogen and chlorine. The reaction characteristics of hydrogen mixed with chlorine, oxygen and inert gases information is based on the literature review of reaction characteristics of hydrogen with chlorine and with mixtures of chlorine and oxygen, and represents an attempt to graphically show ignition and detonation zones for the systems hydrogen-chlorine-oxygen and hydrogen-chlorine-air. It also provides guidance on how to practically apply insights from the data and literature to safely operate chlorine liquefaction and other chlor-alkali processes.
