摘要：

An analysis is presented of 142 industrial incidents in batch reactors involving thermal-runaway chemical reactions of the type A + B .fwdarw. products (incidents involving thermal stability problems with single components are not included) occurring in the UK during the period 1962-1984 and brought to the attention of the Health and Safety Executive. The purpose was to seek for any apparent trends with a view to drawing general lessons from previous mistakes. The underlying problems which led to overheating and eventual runaway have been classified under the headings process chemistry and plant design and operation; a number of contributing factors have been identified under each. Injuries are briefly discussed.
