Is liquid sulfur considered a hazardous chemical that is easy to detonate?
Thread Content
According to the list of explosives-prone chemicals, sulfur is classified as an explosive-prone hazardous chemical. However, its hazard category specifies it as a flammable solid, category 2. So the question arises: can liquid sulfur be managed without being treated as an explosive-prone hazardous chemical? ?
I personally don’t think so, because liquid sulfur needs to exist at temperatures over 300 degrees, and its storage and transportation pose significant challenges. Sulfur products are all made in the form of solid sulfur lumps or sulfur powder, while liquid sulfur exists and is used only at appropriate higher temperatures during sulfur recovery and sulfur acid production processes. However, liquid sulfur is a flammable liquid.
