What Causes Fire and Explosion in Catalytic Processes?
Fire and explosion can occur due to a variety of reasons, including:
1. Presence of Flammable Materials: Many catalytic processes involve flammable gases or liquids. If these materials come into contact with an ignition source, they can catch fire or explode.
2. High Temperatures: Catalytic reactions often occur at high temperatures, which can lead to the ignition of flammable materials if not controlled properly.
3. Presence of Oxidizers: Oxygen or other oxidizing agents can react with fuels in the presence of a catalyst, leading to combustion.
4. Pressure Build-up: Many catalytic processes are conducted under high pressure. A sudden release of pressure can result in an explosion.
