Abstract
Thermal explosion and runaway reaction were terrible accidents which may storage area and handling process. Thermal explosion development investigation was employed to prevent operator dead from being injury or even worse and property loss. Aim of this study was used to analyze insufficient and poor information for hazardous substance that involved tert-butyl peroxide (TBPO). Mathematical model method is an original technology that was applied to simulate unknown phenomenon for storage and handling areas. Reaction thermokinetics and parameters that included frequency factor (A), activation energy (E a
), heat of decomposition
(ΔH d
), and reaction order (n) for mathematic simulation were gained from calorimetric application. According to the proactive process approaches, In view of loss prevention, calorimetric application and model analysis to integrate thermal hazard development were necessary and useful for inherently safer design.
Keywords: thermal explosion, tert-butyl peroxide (TBPO), mathematic model method, reaction thermokinetics, activation energy (E a
