Regarding the explosion limit? !
Thread Content
The gas contains 97% nitrogen, 1% oxygen, and 2% toluene. Will it explode again? If the oxygen content is low, it can’t explode, right? !
The explosion limit of toluene is 1.2%–7.0% (by volume); 2% toluene – it’s not impossible.
It is within the explosion range of toluene, but it does not necessarily explode. It depends on the environment and conditions in which the explosion occurs.
It is not within the explosion range of toluene.
The explosion limit of toluene is 1.2%–7.0% (by volume), which is in air； 97% nitrogen, 1% oxygen, 2% toluene – within the explosion limit of toluene
As the nitrogen content increases and the oxygen content decreases, the probability of molecular collisions between toluene and oxygen decreases, thereby reducing the risk of combustion or explosion. If it is indeed outside the explosion range, as you said, it should be safe
It’s not just a matter of molecular collisions; heat transfer is also involved.
The explosion limit refers to whether it is in air or oxygen. If it is a value for air, it needs to be recalculated when converted to oxygen. This oxygen content also needs to be recalculated. Additionally, the explosion limit is related to temperature as well.
