The storage of a reactive chemical waste in large storage tanks can lead to a thermal explosion, as was the case recently in July 2021 at Currenta in Leverkusen-Bürrig (Germany) (Currenta 2022). In addition to considerable property damage, 7 people were killed and 31 injured. Therefore, the thermal risk for the storage of reactive waste must be assessed in advance and appropriate risk-minimizing measures must be taken.
The storage of a reactive chemical waste in large storage tanks can lead to a thermalexplosion, as was the case recently in July 2021 at Currenta in Leverkusen-Bürrig (Germany).Therefore, a process safety risk assessment prior to mixing of different organic waste in large storage tanks is mandatory. The thermal stability of single chemical waste streams can be assessedby the chemical structure. If the formula of the chemical substances contains unstablefunctional groups (explosophores or self-reactive functional groups) a more detailed investigationis required. In case of mixing different waste streams, an easy desktop method for a quick hazardassessment is the chemical reactivity matrix. Thermal safety testing methods in the safety lab areReaction Calorimetry (RC1), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Thermal Activity Monitor(TAM) and Accelerating Rate Calorimetry (ARC) or Vent Sizing Package 2 (VSP2). Industrial heat confinement situations can be assessed by a systematic decision tree.

Die innerstaatliche Umsetzung des Pariser Klimaschutzübereinkommens
- ein Rechtsvergleich
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (8/2024)
Like all public international law treaties, the Paris Climate Accords rely on national law for their implementation. The success of the agreement therefore depends, to a large extent, on the stepstaken or not taken by national governments and legislators as well as on the instruments and mechanisms chosen for this task. Against this background, the present article compares different approaches to the implementation of the Paris Agreement, using court decisions as a means to assess their (legal) effectiveness.
