title: A basic test method for the study of explosion treatment of waste chemicals from laboratories.
abstract: As a part of the research on the explosion treatment of waste chemicals from laboratories, a basic test method, which will provide the basis for our future research, was developed. First, the basic explosive, the scale of the explosion chamber and the assembly of the sample were decided. Then, measurement of detonation velocity was carried out, and the relationship between the quantity of explosive and the state of detonation propagation was obtained. A quantitative method for evaluating the decomposability of organic chemicals under explosion treatment was investigated. The results indicate that evaluating the explosion decomposability of organic chemicals from the gasification ratio could be used as a basic method provided that the excessive oxygen is approximately 62 mol% or higher. Finally, examinations of the possible effects of the quantity of explosive and conditions of atmosphere on the explosion decomposition of the model substance were conducted, and the basic test conditions regarding the quantity of explosive and condition of atmosphere were decided.
