Abstract

In this study, hazards of decomposition and explosion for tert-butylperoxymaleate(TBPM), an organic peroxide, were evaluated by using various equipment to determine the cause of a fire explosion accident. As a result of DSC analysis, the instantaneous power density of TBPM was 26,401 kW/ml, and the NFPA reactive index(Nr) was classified as 4. And the positive value of EP(explosive propagation) and SS(shock sensitivity) showed that the TBPM had a potential hazard of explosion. From the experimental results, the shock sensitivity and friction sensitivity was rated as class 4 and 5, respectively. In the pressure vessel test, TBPM was ranked USA-PVT No.4 and evaluated as a self-reactive substance. In the combustion rate test, TBPM had the combustion rate of 167 mm/sec and was evaluated as the flammable solid classification 2 in GHS.

본 연구에서는 화재폭발 사고의 원인 규명을 위하여 다양한 시험 장비를 사용하여 유기과산화물의 일종인 터셔리부틸퍼옥시말레이트(TBPM)의 분해 및 폭발 위험성을 조사하였다. 시차주사열량(DSC) 분석결과, TBPM의 순간동력밀도(IPD)는 26,401 kW/ml로서 NFPA 반응성지수(Nr)가 4로 분류되었다. 또한 발열량과 개시온도 측정값을 이용한 폭발전달성(EP)과 충격감도(SS)는 양의 값을 나타내며 위험성이 있는 것으로 예측되었으며, 평가 장비를 활용한 실험적 결과로부터 충격감도와 마찰감도는 각각 4급 및 5급으로 평가되었다. 압력용기시험에서는 USA-PVT No.가 4로 분류되어 자기반응성물질에 해당되는 것으로 나타났다. 연소속도에 대한 조사 결과로부터 TBPM은 167 mm/sec의 연소속도를 나타내며 인화성고체 분류2에 포함되는 것으로 평가되었다.
