Several safety measures can be implemented to mitigate the risks of flammability in catalytic processes:
Proper Ventilation: Ensuring adequate ventilation can help disperse flammable gases and vapors, reducing the risk of ignition. Inert Atmospheres: Using inert gases like nitrogen or argon can prevent the formation of flammable mixtures. Temperature Control: Monitoring and controlling the temperature of the reaction can prevent the conditions necessary for combustion. Explosion-Proof Equipment: Utilizing equipment designed to withstand and contain explosions can enhance safety. Flame Arrestors: Installing flame arrestors can prevent flames from propagating through piping systems.
