- Abstract
- Inorganic additives are classified according to their ability to enhance or inhibit smoldering combustion in cotton fabric. Thermal analysis shows that the rate of oxidation of chars prepared by pyrolysis of fabric treated with metal salts which enhance smoldering is higher than that of chars prepared from fabric treated with additives such as phosphates or boric acid, which inhibit smoldering.
