Dual Extinguishing Actions

BENEFITS:

• Chemical - removal of chain carriers OH, H and O

  • in gaseous phase:
    • K + OH = KOH
    • K + O = KO
    • KOH + H = K + H2O
  • on particles surface:
    • O + H = OH
    • H + OH = H2O

• Physical - heat absorption

  • KHCO3 = K2CO3 + CO2+ H2O
  • K2CO3(s) = K2CO3(g)
