  2. Sodium chlorate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_chlorate

    Heat required to initiate this reaction is generated by oxidation of a small amount of iron powder mixed with the sodium chlorate, and the reaction consumes less oxygen than is produced. Barium peroxide (Ba O 2) is used to absorb the chlorine that is a minor product in the decomposition. [10] An ignitor charge is activated by pulling on the ...

  3. Oxy-fuel welding and cutting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxy-fuel_welding_and_cutting

    Fuel and oxygen tanks should be fastened securely and upright to a wall, post, or portable cart. An oxygen tank is especially dangerous because the gas is stored at a pressure of 21 MPa (3,000 psi; 210 atm)) when full. If the tank falls over and damages the valve, the tank can be jettisoned by the compressed oxygen escaping the cylinder at high ...

  4. Hydrogen chloride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_chloride

    Cl 2 + H 2 → 2 HCl. As the reaction is exothermic, the installation is called an HCl oven or HCl burner. The resulting hydrogen chloride gas is absorbed in deionized water, resulting in chemically pure hydrochloric acid. This reaction can give a very pure product, e.g. for use in the food industry. The reaction can also be triggered by blue ...

  5. Oxy-fuel combustion process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxy-fuel_combustion_process

    However, oxy-fuel is a viable alternative to removing CO 2 from the flue gas from a conventional air-fired fossil fuel plant. However, an oxygen concentrator might be able to help, as it simply removes nitrogen. In industries other than power generation, oxy-fuel combustion can be competitive due to higher sensible heat availability. Oxy-fuel ...

  6. Pourbaix diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pourbaix_diagram

    Pourbaix diagram of iron. [1] The Y axis corresponds to voltage potential. In electrochemistry, and more generally in solution chemistry, a Pourbaix diagram, also known as a potential/pH diagram, E H –pH diagram or a pE/pH diagram, is a plot of possible thermodynamically stable phases (i.e., at chemical equilibrium) of an aqueous electrochemical system.

  7. Chloralkali process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloralkali_process

    Old drawing of a chloralkali process plant (Edgewood, Maryland) The chloralkali process (also chlor-alkali and chlor alkali) is an industrial process for the electrolysis of sodium chloride (NaCl) solutions. It is the technology used to produce chlorine and sodium hydroxide (caustic soda), [1] which are commodity chemicals required by industry.

  8. Stoichiometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoichiometry

    In the combustion reaction, oxygen reacts with the fuel, and the point where exactly all oxygen is consumed and all fuel burned is defined as the stoichiometric point. With more oxygen (overstoichiometric combustion), some of it stays unreacted. Likewise, if the combustion is incomplete due to lack of sufficient oxygen, fuel remains unreacted.

  9. Pinnick oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinnick_Oxidation

    Also the formation of oxygen gives good indication of the progress of the reaction. However, problems sometimes arise due to the formation of singlet oxygen in this reaction, which may oxidize organic materials (i.e. the Schenck ene reaction). DMSO has been used instead of H 2 O 2 to oxidize reactions that do not produce great yields using only ...
