Revision as of 06:24, 27 July 2007
There are many oxidizers which can cause hazards.
Example:
On 26th July 2007 an explosion ocurred at the Scaled Compostes facility at Mojave Airport in California involving Nitrous Oxide[1] [2].
Fire/Explosion Hazards
Above 1200 F the NO could explosively decompose.
"Decomposition to N2 and O2 will occur at a lower temperature (approximately 650dF), if oxides of silver, copper and nickel are present. Some of these oxides may result from soldering or brazing operations"[3].
