Abstract:

Chemical and technological aspects of the interaction of man-caused electroblasting aluminum aerosols with the air and water are considered. It is shown that aerosols in the solid disperse phase are especially dangerous, since they easily ignite in air and release a great amount of heat while burning. In water they evolve explosive "hot" hydrogen. The small size of particles of such aerosols causes significant self-heating at their interaction with reagents. This leads to stabilization of final products unusual for the bulky state.
