STABLE PRODUCTS AND SOME KINETIC FEATURES OF DICHLOROSILANE-AIR COMBUSTION

The amounts of H-2, HCl, and H2O in the reaction products of the combu stion of dichlorosilane-air mixtures containing from 1 to 100% of dich lorosilane were determined. The explosion concentration limits (2.5 an d 94%) were estimated under standard conditions and the effect of an i nert gas (N-2) On these limits was studied. The promoting action of di chlorosilane oxidation on its decomposition and on two-stage explosion , which is accompanied by a propagation of a chemical reaction wave in a closed volume, was established.
