Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a container adapted for holding liquid compounds liable to exothermic decomposition, said container provided with at least one explosion-safe liquid release system comprised of a conduit having an inlet and an outlet, wherein said inlet is located at the bottom of said container. Containers provided with such explosion-safe liquid release systems are particularly suitable for use with organic peroxides. Also disclosed are methods for storing or transporting liquid compounds liable to exothermic decomposition in containers of the present disclosure. Containers used in such methods may optionally hold inert particles and/or liquid diluents.
