Hazard Predictions

Because of the mild nature of members of these reactive groups, in most cases we would not expect redox reactions to lead to hazardous conditions. We suggest however, that small scale tests be run to gain an appreciation of the kinetics and heat production by combining members of these groups.

Carbon can ignite or explode in contact with oxygen, metal oxides, peroxides, metal oxosalts, halogens, interhalogens, and other oxidants (Urben, P.G. 1995. Bretherick's Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards, 5th Edition. Oxford: Butterworth-Heinemann. pp. 125).
