    <dc:creator>dchas</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[WEATHERSFIELD — Firefighters from four Trumbull County communities worked Tuesday to battle a fire at the Howmet Aerospace plant, 1000 Warren Ave., that began when titanium dust caught a vacuum truck and a hopper on fire.

Howmet supplies titanium alloys for the aerospace industry.

But because titanium dust is a magnesium-based product, it is highly flammable and it cannot be extinguished with water, according to Weathersfield fire Chief Tom Lambert.

The fire began in a vacuum hose when a contracting company was removing dust particles from a hopper in the plant. The flames moved from the hose back into the plant area, damaging some equipment, according to Lambert.

The plant contacted Trumbull County 911, which contacted the Weathersfield Fire Department at 8:09 a.m. Fire departments in Lordstown, Niles and Howland responded to the emergency call.

    <title>Crush It Safely: Safety Aspects of Mechanochemical Grignard Synthesis</title>

    <link>https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.chas.2c00018</link>
    <dc:creator>dchas</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[The Grignard reaction has been one of the most versatile workhorses for synthetic organic chemists for more than a century. Typically, the preparation of Grignard reagents and their subsequent reactions require anhydrous solvents and a protective inert atmosphere. A recent report showed that the reactions could be performed under mechanochemical conditions by ball-milling magnesium metal, an organic halide, and a small amount of an ethereal solvent together followed by the addition of an electrophile. Excellent results were reported for a broad range of substrates even when the reaction was performed under the ambient atmosphere, making the process highly appealing to a wide synthetic community. In this commentary, some safety aspects of this mechanochemical Grignard reaction are pointed out so that appropriate risk management plans can be devised to ensure its safe use.

    <dc:creator>dchas</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Researchers at Hokkaido University, Japan, have discovered a new method to prepare Grignard reagents using mechanochemistry – and what’s more these reagents aren’t destroyed by air. ‘It’s easier and faster,’ says Deborah Crawford from the University of Bradford, UK, who was not involved in the study. ‘I would now employ [this] method if I was to need a Grignard.’

Grignard reagents are organomagnesium compounds widely used in organic synthesis for their versatility to create new carbon–carbon bonds. However, their preparation often requires controlled temperatures, dry solvents and protection from air and moisture through inert-air methodologies like Schlenk lines. ‘This is the first example of Grignards [being] prepared under ambient conditions … it’s remarkable,’ says Crawford.

The Japanese team’s secret weapon was mechanochemistry – grinding reagents together using a ball mill. While other researchers had studied the reactivity of organohalides and magnesium in these conditions, this team took it a step further. ‘We found that [adding] small amounts of [tetrahydrofuran] efficiently promoted the formation of Grignard reagents,’ explains Koji Kubota, who co-led the study. ‘The set-up is really simple: a stainless-steel ball, an organic halide, magnesium and THF [all] added into the milling jar. Then you just press start.’

    <dc:creator>dchas</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[AMHERST, N.Y. — When the fire at Premium PPE broke out on July 20,  Amherst fire inspector John Pidgeon told WGRZ that "we are monitoring with the DEC and state agencies to make sure no hazard come up." 
2 On Your Side has learned through a Freedom Of Information Law request that air, soil, and water tests conducted on July 21, a little more than 14 hours after the fire started, determined nearly three dozen "pollutants of concern" were detected at the site. 
According to the documents obtained by WGRZ, the testing was conducted by John Richter, Pretreatment Coordinator of the Environmental Control Division at the EPA/NYSDEC. 
In an email to state and federal officials, Richter says cyanide and dioxane "may have entered both the Town of Amherst Sewer Lateral System and the Town of Amherst Storm Water Collection system."
According to a spreadsheet of all chemicals detected at the site of the fire, 1.23 mg/L of cyanide were discharged into the sewer system, "slightly above town standards," Richter said in that email to state and federal officials.

    <dc:creator>dchas</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[In the synthesis process of N-nitrodihydroxyethyl dinitrate (DINA) with the HNO3–Mg(NO3)2 method, the thermal stability of the nitration reaction liquid of the final state is poor, which leads to the thermal runaway of the entire reaction system easily. The research on the thermal runaway reaction under actual reaction conditions indicates high consumption and high risk. In this article, thermal decomposition behavior and isothermal thermal decomposition kinetics of the nitration reaction liquid of the final state in the synthesis process of DINA were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and microcalorimetry. The mechanism of the stability of the nitration reaction liquid was explored. The thermal safety of the material in a large-scale reactor was simulated and predicted by a thermal simulation software on the basis of kinetic parameters including activation energy, pre-exponential factors, and mechanistic functions. These findings not only avoid the risk and consumption of large-size materials but also guide their application in process optimization, inherent safety design, and handling.

    <dc:creator>dchas</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[A chemical-manufacturing unit in Thergaon caught fire on Saturday afternoon, causing explosions that pressed panic buttons in the area for some time. No casualties were reported.
The fire broke out at the magnesium powder-manufacturing unit near the Pudumjee Paper Mill around 3.30 pm. It led to a few explosions. The impact was such that the walls of the unit collapsed and the noise of the explosions was heard from a few kilometres away.
On receiving information, a Pimpri Chinchwad fire brigade team rushed to the spot. Fire brigade officials said workers of the powder-manufacturing unit were moved away from the spot to safety.
It was not possible for the fire fighters to extinguish the flames using water showers as burning magnesium explodes when mixed with water. So they used sand instead and poured it over the burning chemical-manufacturing unit using their equipment.

The magnesium fire started around 11 a.m. at Yankee Casting Co. Inc., 243 Shaker Road, according to Mark Zarcaro, a fire department spokesman. The company makes metal castings.

Four men were taken to the hospital, said Charles Macsata, chief of the Shaker Pines Fire Department. Three were treated for minor burns and discharged, and one was still being treated for smoke inhalation Friday afternoon.

Something went wrong when workers were pouring the 7,800-degree liquid metal and flames broke out, Macsata said. The workers were injured while trying to put out the fire themselves.

    <dc:creator>dchas</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[GRAND VIEW, Idaho — Nearly nine months after an explosion at a US Ecology plant in Grand View, Idaho killed one person, the company is releasing a report of an investigation which utilized third-party investigators.

“This investigation confirms what we suspected early on, that we received a shipment of non-conforming waste that included material that was not supposed to be part of the approved waste stream,” said Jeff Feeler, US Ecology Chairman, President and CEO. “It is good to understand the root cause of the incident and we are focusing on steps we can take to eliminate any future incidents.”

Officials say Monte “Alex” Green of Grand View passed away after sustaining injuries during the explosion. Green was reported missing immediately following an explosion and was later located.

The report findings suggest that the explosion was "caused by a chemical reaction between water, magnesium, and the presence of non-conforming materials. It was determined that the catastrophic damage was caused by a steam explosion and was not the result of a flammable or combustible dust environment."]]></description>

The small explosion and fire happened about 11 a.m. during a chemical process being done in a laboratory at Dietary Pros Inc., a company on Wausau's west side that makes dietary supplements, according to the Wausau Fire Department.

Battalion Chief Alan Antolik said smoke was coming from the side of the building when crews arrived. All workers were evacuated.

Fire officials and Wausau police remained on the scene for hours, monitoring air quality, removing some of the products and chemicals and talking to workers.

Investigators say they don't know exactly what went wrong in the laboratory. Magnesium, an abundant mineral in the body, is naturally present in many foods, added to other food products, available as a dietary supplement and present in some medicines, such as antacids and laxatives.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>dchas</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[We now know the massive fire and explosion at Meridian Magnesium in Eaton Rapids on Wednesday morning was felt as far as 30 miles away.

Seismology staff at MSU matched movement from a seismology station located in Perry, Michigan with social media reports of an explosion shortly after 2 a.m. and discovered there was a powerful disruption.

Daniel Burk, an engineer with the seismic laboratory at MSU says the explosion was impressive, but relatively small in terms of magnitude. He says the movement was not measured on a Richter scale, but was instead measured as a surface wave magnitude called MS, with a reading of 1.7.

Burk believes the time of day made a difference, in fact, he believes if it happened at 2 in the afternoon, normal daytime noise and traffic would have likely masked the blast.

Despite a very powerful blast, likely caused due to magnesium reacting to heat and fire, chemists at MSU do not believe there will be any hazardous outcomes regarding air, water, or land.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>dchas</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[An explosion rocked the TIMET plant Wednesday morning near downtown Henderson, officials said.
The explosion occurred about 8:15 a.m. at the plant, 181 N. Water St., Henderson spokeswoman Kathleen Richards said.
The explosion was contained to the plant and did not cause a fire or release hazardous material, she said.
Two people suffered minor injuries, but did not need medical treatment, the Henderson Fire Department tweeted.
The explosion occurred during a magnesium recycling operation, which is part of the manufacturing process of titanium, TIMET spokesman David Dugan said. The plant produces titanium that is used in airplanes and other industries.
“It was loud, but it caused minimal damage,” Dugan said.
Dugan said TIMET will investigate the explosion.
Henderson residents reported hearing the blast from a dozen miles away from the plant at the Black Mountain Industrial Complex, a county island inside Henderson.

Fremont Fire Chief Dave Foos said the fire, which was reported at 9:41 a.m., was contained to the magnesium product and did not spread through the building.

Firefighters used a dry chemical fire extinguisher, a lithium fire extinguisher and sand provided by the Fremont street department to put out and cool the blaze.

Because magnesium is highly combustible, the fire department was at the 1000 Wolfe Ave. location until 12:26 p.m.

Magnesium flasks are made in Fremont and used in the metal casting industry.

    <dc:creator>dchas</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[On Tuesday morning, the Detroit Fire Department fought fire with dry sand and rock salt at a plant on the city’s east side.

It all started with a “minor explosion” in a machine that processes magnesium at the Global Titanium plant on the 19300 block of Filer. This was at about 5:10 a.m., said Dave Fornell, deputy commissioner of the Detroit Fire Department. That’s north of East Seven Mile, and just east of Mount Elliott.

Of the three buildings on site, the explosion took place in a building where the company processes magnesium.

When firefighters arrived, the fire had spread to two storage bins, Fornell said.

“Magnesium, when it ignites, it burns with a white-hot heat, and you can’t use water to put it out,” Fornell said. “The water turns to steam and causes minor explosions, which spreads the material.”

There was also titanium involved.

Such a fire can’t be extinguished with water, Fornell said; it must be smothered with dry sand. In this case, dry sand and rock salt. And unlike at most of the blazes the department fights, this time workers at the site “worked hand-in-hand” with firefighters over the next hour. The sand and rock salt were already on site.

Crews were called out for a chemical spill Sunday afternoon. The University of Illinois, Champaign, and Urbana first responders were called for the spill in the plant's basement.
At that time, all pipes exiting the power plant were closed.
Less than an hour later the scene was cleared.
Officials say it was a small leak of magnesium hydroxide -- deemed ‘Non-hazardous’.
"Good news at least it wasn't something serious, so no injuries, no evacuation,” Lieutenant John Brown said. “Turned out the chemical is essentially milk of magnesia, and not dangerous."
The spilled milk-like chemical is used in the process for generating steam and power.

Power was knocked out to thousands of people as the flames consumed power poles and a nearby apartment building was evacuated.

L.A. County Fire inspector Randall Wright told KABC TV that the explosions were caused by the volatile reaction of chemicals and water. He said the fire was "very active, very challenging and very dangerous."

One nearby resident described the scene as "no joke, downtown covered in smoke and smells of fireworks."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>dchas</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[AKRON, Ohio -- Water from an overhead sprinkler system reacted with metal shavings to start a fire in  an industrial building on East Exchange Street in Akron this morning.

The Akron fire department sent HAZMAT crews to 600 East Exchange St. just after 4 a.m. after metal shavings inside the building caught on fire, according to Fire Department Spokeswoman Inspector Sierjie Lash.

Lash said that smoke inside the building activated the sprinkler system, but the water reacted with the smoldering metal causing the fire to grow. 

The fire department closed East Exchange Street in both directions and continue to monitor the building for potential hot spots and flareups, Lash said. The street ropened at about 8 a.m.

A fire department spokesperson told reporters this morning hat they believed the fire started spontaneously. Lash said information on the exact type of metal -- mentioned in other news reports as either magnesium or nickel -- was not yet available.

About 11 MFD units responded to 2758 Gunter Park Drive, including Hazmat and heavy rescue units.

There they found heavy smoke coming from the back corner of the Thermalex Inc. plant.

The chemical fire is said to involve zinc and magnesium used by the company which specializes in aluminum alloy for air conditioning and heating units.

No injuries are reported. About a dozen employees were evacuated from the structure.

MFD has yet to give the all-clear and are still at the scene. The situation appears to be under control.

Barry Andrews, vice president of marketing and public relations at Thermalex, said the smoke coming from the building made the situation look worse than it was.

"We were doing a zinc application like we usually do in production when a spark ignited the zinc. Everything is OK, although the fire department has not given the full clear yet," Andrews said. "There's no damage inside the building, except for the zinc booth or collector that sustained some fire damage that will have to be fixed. There was mostly just smoke."]]></description>

A fire at a La Porte heat treatment plant burned for about two hours before it was finally extinguished Wednesday morning.

The fire started at around 9 a.m. in a furnace at Texas Stress, Inc. at 1304 Underwood Road. Workers were heat-testing a newly fabricated piece of equipment made of magnesium. The Deer Park Fire department rushed pumpers to the scene, but firefighters couldn't use water to put out the fire, because water causes fires fueled by magnesium to intensify.

Firefighters used a company crane to remove the top from the furnace, causing the fire to flare for a while as fresh air rushed in. Firefighters contained the blaze, allowing it to burn down, before moving in to douse it with a compound called Metal X.]]></description>

A dark column of smoke rose from the site, where ammonium perchlorate — used to boost the performance of rocket fuel — was produced. Debris rained down around the area. The force of the blasts shattered windows and doors around Henderson.

Three years after the PEPCON disaster, a 42-ton chlorine leak at Pioneer Chlor Alkali sickened more than 300 people and led to mass evacuations.

Pioneer was in the Basic Management Inc. complex, a 5,000-acre county island surrounded by the city of Henderson; PEPCON was situated nearby. A company originally called Basic Magnesium Inc. built the first chemical plants on the site in 1942.

Authorities say 23-year-old Jesse Holland of Gardner stole the chemicals, including iron powder, aluminum powder and magnesium metal ribbon, from Waltham High School, where he worked.

He was arrested Wednesday morning in a Leominster store parking lot after police say he acted suspiciously. A search of his car yielded the chemicals, a hatchet and a stun gun.

He was held without bail in court Wednesday on charges including possession of an incendiary device, pending a dangerousness hearing set for March 11.

Police say Holland told them he intended to throw the chemicals into a fire to "see what would happen."

Waltham Mayor Jeannette McCarthy called the allegations "troubling."

The estimated volume of magnesium chloride spilled was up 2,000 gallons from initial reports. The increase came as authorities gained a better grasp on the scope of the accident after crews pulled most of the wreckage from the Clarks Fork of the Yellowstone.

A semitrailer crashed into a bridge over the river Monday, sending two trailers into the river about 2 miles north of the Wyoming border. The river flows north, feeding into the Yellowstone about 45 miles from the spill site.

Carbon County emergency coordinator Darrel Krum said the spill appeared small enough that dilution with river water should minimize problems. Because of the season, irrigation dozens of irrigations ditches that feed off the river were closed, preventing pollution of agricultural areas.

According to firefighters, car fires can be among the most dangerous. Adding exploding ammunition and magnesium fuel from flash-bang grenades and the danger increases.
A motorist shot amateur video, showing a burning vehicle with a lot of smoke. Dispatchers confirmed the car belonged to a federal law enforcement agency.

There were no injuries or property damage, according to Windsor Severance Fire Rescue Spokesman Todd Vess. Magnesium, however, does react violently with water, so crews had to use alternate methods to put out the blaze.

Crews had hose lines set around the perimeter of the fire, which Vess said was about five feet by five feet, to cool the ground. Town of Windsor employees then came to dump dirt on the fire to smother it.

The fire started around 12:30 p.m. when a welder was working near the pile of magnesium scraps. A piece of metal bounced from the welder’s work station and into the pile, igniting it and causing “spectacular, super white” flames, Vess said.

The $800 pile of scrap was destroyed.

    <dc:creator>dchas</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[A BACKYARD father and son chemical experiment has backfired, with the teenage boy left with serious burns to his hands.

The 14-year-old and his father were trying to recreate tests the boy had learnt in the school science laboratory in the garden of their Springhall Pde home in Pascoe Vale South.

But the chemicals exploded just before noon and the boy suffered full thickness burns to both hands.

The police, MFB and paramedics were called to the home, with the MFB’s scientific officer called to advise on the handling and disposal of the volatile chemicals.

Magnesium, one of the main chemicals they had been playing with, reacts explosively with other agents and the intense fire it creates cannot be extinguished with water.

The boy was taken to the Royal Children's Hospital burns unit in a serious condition.

A police spokeswoman said it was not a criminal matter and police would not be investigating.

The class was performing a series of chemical reaction labs, and the student ignited too much magnesium in a bunsen burner. “I saw it light out of the corner of my eye, and turned around to see a blazing light [coming from one of the lab stations],” said sophomore Max McQuaid.

Moments after igniting the magnesium, Dr. Hart had the student put it out. “A couple seconds after, the fire alarm started going off.” said sophomore Paul Fuchs. Nothing was damaged and no one was hurt, and the alarm was shut off soon after that.]]></description>

Investigators say lightening most likely started a chemical fire earlier this week at a magnesium plant in a northern Ohio town.

The state fire marshal's office ruled Thursday that the fire at MagReTech Inc. in Bellevue was natural. No one was injured in Tuesday's blaze at the plant, about midway between Toledo and Cleveland.

The office made its findings based on lightning strike data from the National Weather Service, the fire scene investigation and interviews with witnesses.

Four semitrailers containing scraps of magnesium were ignited and burned for more than five hours before the fire was controlled.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>dchas</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Allegheny County 911 dispatchers said a truck fire in a McKees Rocks alley was complicated by a chemical explosion on Monday afternoon.

The fire, reported in the rear of the 1500 block of Poplar Street shortly before 2 p.m., ignited a small amount of magnesium apparently used in some parts of the truck's steering column.

Although magnesium can burn hot and bright when enough heat is applied or the pieces are small enough -- making its powdered form useful in things like flares and fire-starters -- the metallic element is sometimes used in auto parts for its light weight and durability. Fighting a magnesium fire with water, however, can accelerate the fire because of how the metal reacts to it, according to the National Fire Protection Association.

No one was injured, and the fire was limited to one alarm, dispatchers said.]]></description>

One of the four reportedly suffered severe burns. All four were transported to Crozer-Chester Medical Center by ambulance. The conditions of the other three victims were unavailable.

Since water cannot be used on a magnesium fire, Boeing fire crews manning chemical extinguishers responded to the scene. Fire companies from across the area also responded, with Green Ridge Fire Company being the command company.

According to the company’s website, about 50 people work in the facility. All employees working at the time were evacuated.

The fire was first reported as an explosion around 2:15p.m. and was placed under control around 4p.m.

Fire crews were called to the foil and embossing die unit in Sil-Die, Fullbridge, at 12.42pm. 
A chemical officer was ordered to the scene as the basement of the two-storey building contained highly flammable chemicals magnesium developer and acetone fixer. 
Speaking from the scene, assistant divisional officer, Nigel Dilley, said the first tank exploding created a chain reaction in the second. 
He said: “There was a huge bang and the explosion created a bright white flash with pieces of phosphorus flying everywhere.” 
Roads surrounding the area were closed and residents were told not to leave their homes. 
Maldon Council also set up two rest centres for those who could not return home.

Residents say the sky was lit up very brightly, after the explosions. The explosions came from a former Dow Chemical plant, now call Magnesium Elecktorn. The plant is located at College a Baucum streets in Venice.

Fire Fighters from across the Metro East have staged at the plant and are using special compounds in an effort to put out the fire. Fire Fighters believe they are fighting a Magnesium fire and have to use an exotic compound to put out the fire. If the compound doesn't work, the fire may have to burn it's self out.

And officials said they had dealt with any environmental problems and no one was reported injured.

The fire was reported about 11:20 a.m. Thursday at Southeast 192nd Avenue and 34th Street in far-east Vancouver.

The driver escaped from the burning car. He'd been headed north on 192nd, planning to make a left turn to go westbound on 34th. The car sputtered and died. He restarted it. It died again. Then he noticed the fire.

He told firefighters he'd just filled the gas tank and the vintage auto had a magnesium engine block, transmission and other parts.

When hit with water, magnesium fires burn even hotter and more intensely, and can create an environmental hazard. In fact, magnesium is useful as a fire-starter.

The burning magnesium flared up in a shower of sparks when firefighters tried to use a little water, confirming what it was, said Jim Flaherty, firefighter-spokesman with the Vancouver Fire Department.]]></description>

An employee found the powdered magnesium out of a container in a storage cabinet around 11 a.m., prompting officials to evacuate the school, said James Garbin, chief of the township’s second fire district. Crews from the Middlesex County Hazardous Materials Unit responded and went inside to secure the powder with the help of firefighters.

About 20 staff members were at the Applegarth Road school at the time, Carbin said. No one was injured during the incident.

Powdered magnesium is flammable if exposed to water and poses several other hazards, Carbin said. Employees at the school called authorities after recognizing the substance.]]></description>
