Liquid metal embrittlement to the fire was caused by the failure of a heat exchanger (cold box) inlet nozzle in the liquids recovery plant. The failure of the inlet nozzle was due to liquid metal embrittlement of the train B aluminium cold box by elemental mercury. Liquid metal embrittlement plays a central role in the novel "Killer Instinct" by Joseph Finder. In the film "Big Hero 6", Honey Lemon, voiced by Genesis Rodriguez, uses liquid metal embrittlement in her lab. Liquid metal embrittlement Liquid metal embrittlement, also known as liquid metal induced embrittlement, is a phenomenon of practical importance, where certain ductile metals
Chlorine perchlorate Chlorine perchlorate Chlorine perchlorate is the chemical compound with the formula ClO. This chlorine oxide is an asymmetric oxide, with one chlorine atom in oxidation state +1 and the other +7, with proper formula ClOClO. It is produced by the photolysis of chlorine dioxide at room temperature with 436 nm ultraviolet light: Chlorine perchlorate can also be made the following reactions at −45 °C. Chlorine perchlorate is a pale greenish liquid which decomposes at room temperature. It is less stable than ClO and decomposes to O, Cl and ClO at room temperature. Chlorine perchlorate reacts with metal chlorides forming anhydrous
