“…The self-heating constants determined in this work are generally consistent with recent measurements by Clothier and Pritchard [4] for rubber tyre crumb. The results confirm that SBR is more of a self-heating hazard than most ordinary combustibles.…”

“…Gross and Robertson [3] measured self-heating kinetic constants of foam rubber, crepe rubber, and GRS rubber using an adiabatic calorimeter. Clothier and Pritchard [4] made measurements of self-heating parameters for crumbed tyre rubber. These investigators found the low density (foam and crumb) rubber products to be more hazardous than typical cellulosic materials.…”

SUMMARYRubbers, including styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), are well known to be susceptible to self-heating. SBR is used in a wide range of applications and is often produced in the form of a crumb which is then used to form the final product. The crumb may be transported and stored in large quantities. Self-heating properties of a SBR crumb have been determined using standard oven methods. The results indicate that self-heating is a real hazard for SBR crumb. The results are generally consistent with recent measurements by Clothier and Prichard (Combust. Flame 2003; 133:207-210) for rubber tyre crumb.

“…The authors also concluded that oxidation was a primary contributor to self‐heating. Clothier and Pritchard investigated shredded rubber through oven testing and confirmed that self‐heating was a likely cause of waste tire stockpile fires [43]. The porous and combustible nature of the stockpiled materials will facilitate self‐heating and spontaneous combustion.…”

Sustainable materials and technologies (a.k.a. “green”) are those that are “delivered with progressively less negative impact upon the Earth.” Thermal hazards such as self‐heating, thermal runaway, fires, and explosions may be associated with a particular sustainable material or process technology. Thermal hazards are a result of the interaction between the exothermic reactivity of the material and the processing or storage conditions (e.g., environment, temperature, duration, size, and configuration). These materials and technologies may pose thermal hazards that only become apparent at large‐scale production and storage levels. With the move toward developing sustainable materials and technologies, many potential new hazardous scenarios for established organizations or for start‐up companies may be identified only during final developmental stages. For example, scaling processing up from pilot to full‐scale may lead to large enough material volumes that thermal hazards that were not identified at the pilot level become significant. Another example may be the increased size of stockpiles of materials required for full‐scale operations. This article aims to provide an overview of several sustainable materials and green technology areas with a discussion of the potential thermal hazards presented. The article will provide guidance for identifying potential thermal hazards in systems and for developing successful prevention and mitigation schemes against fires and explosions. © 2011 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Process Saf Prog, 2011

“…For example, the spontaneous heating of oils [131], as well as rubber tires and rubber mats [132] have been reported. The spontaneous ignition of different types of plant material, including Eucalyptus leaves and sawdust, that have occurred at composting and mulching operations has been described [133].…”
