The direct cause of the accident was: a sudden explosion occurred in the factory during the production of benzoyl peroxide.Benzoyl peroxide is mainly used as a catalyst for plastic polymerization. Its chemical properties are active and will explode if it hits or Mars.
- At around 17:25 on April 9, 2009, a chemical plant that produced alkali dyes exploded and caught fire while carrying out material transfer operations, causing serious injuries to one person and direct economic losses of more than 600,000 yuan.

The direct cause of the accident is that during the trial production preparation stage, the acidic oxidation working fluid should be alkaline. After the emergency stop, the production manager attempted to recycle the unqualified working fluid, illegally discharged the oxidized working fluid into an acidic storage tank, and added phosphoric acid, attempting to re-adjust the oxidized working fluid to acidic. However, the hydrogen peroxide in the acidic storage tank quickly decomposes and releases heat under alkaline conditions, producing high temperature and combustible gas oxygen, causing the storage tank pressure to suddenly rise and explode, and ignites the oxidation working liquid.

process introduction
primary amine and nitrite at low temperature to generate diazonium salt reaction, such as: aliphatic, aromatic and heterocyclic primary amines. The process involved in diazotization reaction is a diazotization process. Usually, diazotization reagents are temporarily prepared from sodium nitrite and hydrochloric acid. In addition to hydrochloric acid, inorganic acids such as sulfuric acid, perchloric acid and fluoroboric acid can also be used. Aliphatic diazonium salts are very unstable and can quickly and spontaneously decompose even at low temperatures, while aromatic diazonium salts are relatively stable.

In the dry state, some diazonium salts are unstable and have strong activity, and can decompose or even explode when heat or friction, impact, etc.; if the amount of acid is insufficient, the generated diazonium salt is easily coupled to the unreacted aromatic amine to form diazonium amino compounds; if the amount of acid is insufficient, the diazonium salt is easily decomposed, and the higher the temperature, the faster the decomposition.
- The sodium nitrite used in the diazotization production process is an inorganic oxidant. It can decompose at 175 °C, react with organic matter, and cause ignition or explosion.
- reaction raw materials are risky of burning and explosion. For example: 2,6-dichloro-p-trifluoromethylaniline, antho-aminobenzenesulfonic acid

Measures suggest
(1) Safe transportation of raw materials and products
Aryl amine and sodium nitrite must be transported in separate vehicles and stored; products must be lightly loaded and unloaded when transporting diazonium salts to prevent friction and impact; during storage, diazonium salts and sodium nitrite should be kept away from fire sources, power sources or other heat sources, and avoid sunlight.
(2) Strictly control the feeding volume and speed
Sodium nitrite feeding is finished, and the reaction solution is tested using starch potassium iodide test strips. It is slightly blue, which means the feeding volume is appropriate. If excessive sodium nitrite is found, remedial measures should be taken in a timely manner. The control of the feeding rate of sodium nitrite should be different based on the alkalinity of the aromatic amine. The alkalinity is strong, and the feeding speed of sodium nitrite must be slow.
(3) Equipped with safety devices and equipment
forms an interlocking relationship with the temperature and pressure in the diazotization reactor with the stirring, sulfite flow rate, and the cooling water inlet valve of the diazogation reactor jacket. An emergency stop system is set up at the diazotization reactor. When the temperature in the diazotization reactor exceeds the standard or the stirring system fails, the feed is automatically stopped and the vehicle is stopped urgently. Diazo salt post-treatment equipment should be equipped with automatic control and adjustment devices for temperature detection, stirring and cooling interlocking, and drying equipment should be equipped with interlocking devices for temperature measurement, heating heat source switch, and inert gas protection.
