Restrictions on the Use of Specimens Based on Magnesium and Titanium Nanocrystalline Oxides in Incidents Involving Uncontrolled Release of Hazardous Substances

Undertaking effective and prompt action during chemical events is an important measure in preventing the spread of contamination. Studies have shown that despite very high surface activity of nanocrystalline metal oxides, their use does not reduce the fire hazard for hydrocarbon spills and alcohols more effectively than commonly used sorbents during fire rescue operations. Other limitations of specimens containing nanocrystalline oxides have also been proven, such as the maximum absorption similar to commonly used specimens, as well as high costs of conducting the acid neutralization process without increasing the level of safety of operations. Results obtained allowed the determination of proposed principles of effective and economically appropriate application of nanocrystalline metal oxides in rescue units.
