Some reactive materials, such as oxidizing materials, become less hazardous when they are shaped. In this report, we tried some methods to evaluate burning and explosion hazards of the shaped materials.
To evaluate the hazard of shaped materials requires bigger sample size than that of powdery materials. So we made some preliminary experiments for the mixture of the high strength calcium hypochlorite (HCH) tablets and the mixture of the standard materials to avoid occurrence of burning or explosion accidents. The results of the experiments showed that the mixture of the HCH tablets and a fuel for the detonation propagation test had sufficient stability and the mixture for the burning rate test had no ability to propagate a detonation. And referring to the results, the mixing ratios of the standard materials and the fuel for the tests were decided.
The detonation propagation test showed that the sample mixture had no ability to propagate a detonation, and the burning rate test showed that the sample mixture did not sustain a burning.
