Hydrogen Cyanide (Hydrocyanic acid, Prussic Acid) HAZARDS & STORAGE: A deadly human poison by all routes. HCN can polymerize explosively at 50-60 degrees C in the presence of traces of alkali. The anhydrous liquid is stabilized at of below room temperature by the addition of acid. Because of its low flashpoint and wide range of explosive mixtures, HCN presents a serious fire and explosion hazard. Amines, hydroxides, and cyanide salts that are capable of producing the cyanide ion should not be added to liquid HCN without suitable precautions. Once started, the polymerization is likely to become violent and be accompanied by sharp increases in temperature and pressure. Commercial HCN is normally stabilized by the addition of a little phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid or sulfur dioxide. Distilled HCN constitutes a greater explosion hazard than stabilized materials, so use of the distilled materials should be avoided.

Hydrogen Peroxide HAZARDS & STORAGE: Corrosive. Strong oxidizer. H2O2 is a powerful oxidizer in the concentrated state. It is important to keep containers of this material covered. Uncovered containers are much more prone to react with flammable vapors, gases, etc. Uncovered, the water form an H2O2 solution can evaporate, concentrating the material and increasing the fire hazard of the remainder. When stored in sealed containers, gradual decomposition of H2O2 to H2O + O can cause large pressures to build up. There is a severe explosion hazard when highly concentrated or when pure H2O2 is exposed to heat, mechanical impact, or is caused to decompose catalytically by catalytic metals.

DOE, Office of ScienceOne of ten national laboratories overseen and primarily funded by the Office of Science of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Brookhaven National Laboratory conducts research in the physical, biomedical, and environmental sciences, as well as in energy technologies and national security. Brookhaven Lab also builds and operates major scientific facilities available to university, industry and government researchers. Brookhaven is operated and managed for DOE’s Office of Science by Brookhaven Science Associates, a limited-liability company founded by Stony Brook University, the largest academic user of Laboratory facilities, and Battelle, a nonprofit, applied science and technology organization.
