  • Method for discharging an oxidisable compound in the liquid state
    Patent number: 10669056
    Abstract: A process for unloading a container containing an oxidizable compound having a melting point Tm greater than 15° C. is described. This process comprises the steps consisting in heating the container using a heating means until the oxidizable compound is liquid, the temperature of the heating means remaining less than or equal to Tm+105° C., and then unloading the oxidizable compound in the liquid state. A process for handling such an oxidizable compound, comprising this unloading step, and also a device enabling this process to be carried out, are also proposed.
