Section 10: Stability and Reactivity


10.1  Reactivity

Avoid oxidizers such as oxygen, ozone, chlorine, permanganates, etc…alkali metals, liquid acids.

10.2  Chemical stability

Stable under normal conditions.

10.3  Possibility of hazardous reactions

None.

10.4  Conditions to avoid

High concentrations of organics in air will cause temperature rise due to heat of adsorption. At very high concentration levels this may result in a thermal excursion, referred to as a bed fire. High concentrations of Ketones and Aldehydes may cause a rise in bed temperature due to adsorption and oxidation.
