2-chloroacetamide

EC Number:

201-174-2

EC Name:

2-chloroacetamide

Cas Number:

79-07-2

Molecular formula:

C2H4ClNO

IUPAC Name:

2-chloroacetamide

Results and discussion

Results:

Simulating a real fire, combustion at 950°C under good air supply gave only very low HCN or NOx ratios < 1 mgN/g chloroacetamide.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Under free fire conditions, chloroacetamide was completely combusted. In the combustion gases, 101 % of the organic carbon was recovered as CO2, exclusively. Under smouldering fire conditions, 61 % of the organic carbon was recovered, mostly as CO (38%), as CO2 (10%), or as CN- (13%) , respectively.
