Abstract

To understand better the thermal decomposition characteristics of organic peroxides, a C80 heat flux calorimeter was used and the decomposition pattern of cumene hydroperoxide and di-tert-butylperoxide were classified as auto-catalytic and n th order reaction, respectively. Based on the scanning results with the C80 at several differing rates of heating, the thermal decomposition behavior of organic peroxides under isothermal storage at lower temperature was simulated with a model-free simulation. Simulated results showed that the calculated conversion of cumene hydroperoxide as a function of time was in good agreement with experimental data obtained with the TAM-III high sensitivity thermal activity monitor.
