Explosivity of monosilane-air mixtures

Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The limiting oxygen concentration at which monosilane will not self-ignite in a nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere is 0.7–3%, depending on the humidity of the medium.

  2. 2.

    Monosilane autoignition is observed at very low temperatures. Reducing the temperature of the nitrogen-oxygen medium only slightly raises the oxygen autoignition limit.

  3. 3.

    Methyl iodide effectively inhibits the ignition of monosilane in air for near-stoichiometric mixtures.
