Geopolymer, derived from flyash, NaOH, Al powder is required a heat treatment inside the muffle furnace. It may cause releasing hydrogen gas inside the furnace. Will it be explosive? or dangerous? I am seeking advises from experts. Thanks in advance.
" Hydrogen possesses the NFPA 704's highest rating of 4 on the flammability scale because it is flammable when mixed even in small amounts with ordinary air; ignition can occur at a volumetric ratio of hydrogen to air as low as 4% due to the oxygen in the air and the simplicity and chemical properties of the reaction."
it also has an auto-ignition of 570 °C...So i wouldn't risk it!
H2 is a very dangerous substance. H2 is small enough to leak out of almost any vessel and burns with an invisible flame
