The review also discusses the role of metal complexes of cobalt, iron and manganese in catalysing the oxidative drying of linseed oil, summarising some kinetic parameters such as the rate constants of the peroxidation reactions. With respect to fire safety, the classical theory of self-ignition does not account for radical and catalytic reactions and appears to offer limited insights into the autoignition of lignocellulosic materials soaked with linseed oil. New theoretical and numerical treatments of oxidation of such materials need to be developed. The self-ignition induced by linseed oil is predicated on the presence of both a metal catalyst and a lignocellulosic substrate, and the absence of any prior thermal treatment of the oil, which destroys both peroxy radicals and singlet O₂ sensitisers. An overview of peroxyl chemistry included in the article will be useful to those working in areas of fire science, paint drying, indoor air quality, biofuels and lipid oxidation.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:16:39 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21793 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:59:24 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18974 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:58:55 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21813 –1 exothermic, respectively.
