- Abstract
- The evolution of toxic gases was investigated by heating nylon 6 in air or nitrogen at various temperatures ranging from 400 to 1000 deg. C. The gases detected were hydrogen cyanide, carbon monoxide, ammonia, and nitrogen dioxide. The dependence of the evolution on decomposition time and temperature was investigated. The greater evolution rate was observed at higher temperatures. The production of hydrogen cyanide and carbon monoxide increased almost with temperature, but the production of ammonia and nitrogen dioxide was complicated. The amount of nitrogen dioxide was far smaller than the others.
