  2. Contact explosive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_explosive

    A contact explosive is a chemical substance that explodes violently when it is exposed to a relatively small amount of energy (e.g. friction, pressure, sound, light). Though different contact explosives have varying amounts of energy sensitivity, they are all much more sensitive relative to other kinds of explosives.

  3. High explosive violent reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../High_explosive_violent_reaction

    A high explosive violent reaction (HEVR) includes reactions ranging from a fast deflagration of the high explosive (HE), up to and including a detonation of the high explosive. The explosive wave may be subsonic or supersonic.

  4. Deflagration to detonation transition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deflagration_to_detonation...

    In technical terms, the reaction zone (chemical combustion) is a self-driven shock wave where the reaction zone and the shock are coincident, and the chemical reaction is initiated by the compressive heating caused by the shock wave. The process is similar to ignition in a Diesel engine, but much more sudden and violent.

  5. Behelfs-Schützenmine S.150 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behelfs-Schützenmine_S.150

    The violent chemical reaction ignited the detonator and exploded the mine. The mine did not have a safety or anti-tamper mechanism. Disarming one was a fairly simple procedure of unscrewing the igniter near the base, avoiding the fragile top. [4]

  6. Water-reactive substances - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water-reactive_substances

    Water-reactive substances [1] are those that spontaneously undergo a chemical reaction with water, often noted as generating flammable gas. [2] Some are highly reducing in nature. [3] Notable examples include alkali metals, lithium through caesium, and alkaline earth metals, magnesium through barium.

  7. Thermite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermite

    The violent effects of thermite. Thermite usage is hazardous due to the extremely high temperatures produced and the extreme difficulty in smothering a reaction once initiated. Small streams of molten iron released in the reaction can travel considerable distances and may melt through metal containers, igniting their contents.

  8. Exothermic process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exothermic_process

    According to the IUPAC, an exothermic reaction is "a reaction for which the overall standard enthalpy change ΔH⚬ is negative". [4] Some examples of exothermic process are fuel combustion, condensation and nuclear fission, [5] which is used in nuclear power plants to release large amounts of energy. [6]

  9. Bretherick's Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bretherick's_Handbook_of...

    Bretherick’s Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards is a well-established source of information on chemical safety, often known by its author’s name, and often cited in the chemical and chemical engineering literature. In recent editions it has been in two volumes, volume 1 being individual compounds and hazardous reactions, volume 2 being ...
