  2. Spontaneous combustion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spontaneous_combustion

    A large compost pile can spontaneously combust if improperly managed. Spontaneous combustion or spontaneous ignition is a type of combustion which occurs by self-heating (increase in temperature due to exothermic internal reactions), followed by thermal runaway (self heating which rapidly accelerates to high temperatures) and finally, autoignition. [1]

  3. Sulfuryl chloride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfuryl_chloride

    Sulfuryl chloride is used as a source of Cl 2.Because it is a pourable liquid, it is considered more convenient than Cl 2 to dispense.. Sulfuryl chloride is used in the conversion of C−H to C−Cl adjacent to activating substituents such as carbonyls and sulfoxides: [5] [6]

  4. Combustion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combustion

    The flames caused as a result of a fuel undergoing combustion (burning) Air pollution abatement equipment provides combustion control for industrial processes.. Combustion, or burning, [1] is a high-temperature exothermic redox chemical reaction between a fuel (the reductant) and an oxidant, usually atmospheric oxygen, that produces oxidized, often gaseous products, in a mixture termed as smoke.

  5. Smokeless fuel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smokeless_fuel

    Some charcoal briquettes of similar shape to coal briquettes Smokeless fuel is a type of solid fuel which either does not emit visible smoke or emits minimal amounts during combustion . These types of fuel find use where the use of fuels which produce smoke, such as coal and unseasoned or wet wood, is prohibited.

  6. Char (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Char_(chemistry)

    Char is the solid material that remains after light gases (e.g. coal gas) and tar have been driven out or released from a carbonaceous material during the initial stage of combustion, which is known as carbonization, charring, devolatilization or pyrolysis.

  7. Sulfation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfation

    To minimize the problem, the combustion is often conducted in the presence of calcium oxide or calcium carbonate, which, directly or indirectly, bind sulfur dioxide and some oxygen to give calcium sulfite. [1] The net reaction is: CaO + SO 2 → CaSO 3 2 CaSO 3 + O 2 → 2 CaSO 4. or the net reaction is sulfation, the addition of SO 3: CaO + SO ...

  8. Sulfur dichloride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfur_dichloride

    The process occurs in a series of steps, some of which are: S 8 + 4 Cl 2 → 4 S 2 Cl 2; ΔH = −58.2 kJ/mol S 2 Cl 2 + Cl 2 ↔ 2 SCl 2; ΔH = −40.6 kJ/mol. The addition of Cl 2 to S 2 Cl 2 has been proposed to proceed via a mixed valence intermediate Cl 3 S−SCl. SCl 2 undergoes even further chlorination to give SCl 4, but this species is ...

  9. Chemical reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_reaction

    A chemical reaction is a process that leads to the chemical transformation of one set of chemical substances to another. [1] When chemical reactions occur, the atoms are rearranged and the reaction is accompanied by an energy change as new products are generated.
