Abstract Mixtures exhibiting maximum flash point behavior (MaxFPB) have the potential to reduce the fire and explosion hazard of liquids, such as waste solvent and liquid fuel. Commercial mixtures generally contain multiple components. However, existing research on MaxFPB is limited mainly to binary mixtures. Accordingly, the present study extends the literature by examining the MaxFPB of three ternary mixtures, namely phenol + cyclohexanol + cyclohexanone, phenol + cyclohexanol + benzyl alcohol, and phenol + acetophenone + 1-propanol. It is shown that two binary constituents of the former two mixtures exhibit MaxFPB, while a single binary constituent of the latter mixture has MaxFPB. For all three studied mixtures, the maximum flash point of the solution is located at their one of the binary constituents. In general, the results provide a useful source of reference for hazard reduction, process safety design, and fuel design.

具有单一和两种最大闪点二元成分的三元混合物的最大闪点行为

摘要 具有最大闪点行为 (MaxFPB) 的混合物有可能降低液体（例如废溶剂和液体燃料）的火灾和爆炸危险。商业混合物通常包含多种成分。然而，现有对 MaxFPB 的研究主要限于二元混合物。因此，本研究通过检查三种三元混合物的 MaxFPB 扩展了文献，即苯酚 + 环己醇 + 环己酮、苯酚 + 环己醇 + 苯甲醇和苯酚 + 苯乙酮 + 1-丙醇。结果表明，前两种混合物的两种二元成分具有 MaxFPB，而后一种混合物的单一二元成分具有 MaxFPB。对于所有三种研究的混合物，溶液的最大闪点位于它们的二元成分之一。一般来说，
