These factors do not act in isolation; rather, they can initiate a chain reaction, collectively contributing to the occurrence of an accident. Therefore, it is crucial to systematically identify and analyze the dynamic propagation of these factors. This study employs network theory and the cascade failure model to examine the pathways through which causal factors spread in chemical accidents, aiming to deepen the understanding of and develop strategies for prevention. Initially, chemical accident cases were collected and filtered, followed by a statistical analysis of their basic information. Subsequently, a Causal Analysis of Chemical Accidents (CACA) framework was established based on the 24Model, which facilitated the identification of causative factors within accident cases and the construction of a CACA network model. Using various metrics from complex network theory, the importance of causative factors was assessed. Finally, the critical causative factor-accident propagation paths were obtained by analyzing the influence process among factors based on the cascading failure model, which were validated through nine practical cases. The findings reveal that the three most influential factors in the CACA network are operational errors (IA02), physical hazards (IA04), and chemical hazards (IA05). In key propagation pathways, factors such as the primary responsibility for safety (OC02), the degree of leadership accountability (OC05), and the emphasis on safety training (OC08) play major roles. This paper explores the mechanisms of occurrence, key causative factors, and critical propagation pathways in chemical accidents based on case studies, revealing the causes and processes of such accidents. This knowledge can help enterprises learn from incidents, thereby enhancing the safety of their production processes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16291,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Loss Prevention in The Process Industries","volume":"101 ","pages":"Article 105937"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146191262","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Isothermal tests, coupled with mass spectroscopy analyses, have elucidated the chain of events occurring under pyrolysis conditions, whereas fire tests have shed light on the ignitability and the overall kinetics and exothermicity. The proposed approach was applied to the cases of Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV), and PHBV-toluene mixtures. The vapour production from liquefied polymer was identified as the rate-determining and crotonic acid was identified as the species ruling the gas-phase reactivity of the polymer. Although two distinguishable behaviours were observed during the degradation of wet polymers, each of them attributable to a pure compound, toluene-polymers interactions were identified, allowing for the realisation of advanced models suitable for an optimised design of industrial processes involving wet polymers.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16291,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Loss Prevention in The Process Industries","volume":"101 ","pages":"Article 105966"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146191368","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we measured the FPs of 341 compositions from six ternary aqueous–organic mixtures and developed a FP prediction model based on the quantitative structure–property relationship (QSPR) principle using the obtained data. Molecular descriptors for each component were generated using Dragon software, and the mixture descriptors were computed based on logarithmic mixing rules.

Enhancing the seismic resilience of natural gas supply systems is paramount, given gas's vital role in the global energy transition towards carbon neutrality. Previous models for assessing the resilience fail to capture the complex dynamic evolution of pipeline network performance and account for the cumulative effects of aftershock sequences. Overcoming these limitations, this study proposes a novel quantitative model using pipeline network dynamic flow and agent-based simulation. The model conceptualizes pipeline network dynamics as emergent behavior from agent interactions under seismic excitation. Combining pipeline agent behavior with network fluid dynamics simulation provides timely transmission performance across stages. Besides, the ETAS (Epidemic Type Aftershock Sequence) model is employed to consider the effects of aftershock sequences on network performance. Furthermore, Monte Carlo simulation dynamically quantifies network transmission performance to obtain resilience values under stochastic hazard scenarios to account for uncertainties in earthquake occurrence and intensity. A case study illustrates the model's practical application. Results show that the proposed model effectively captures the dynamic system response from disruption to recovery. Moreover, cumulative seismic effects significantly prolong recovery times and amplify the performance degradation. Thus, aftershock sequences cannot be ignored in modeling natural gas pipeline seismic resilience.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16291,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Loss Prevention in The Process Industries","volume":"101 ","pages":"Article 105934"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146191261","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, simulating such systems in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) using fully coupled multiphase models is often computationally prohibitive—particularly in large-scale risk assessments involving many scenarios. This study presents a simple Static Water Spray Model (SWSM) developed within the FLACS solver to provide an efficient alternative. The model estimates spatial distributions of water volume fraction and droplet size using empirical and physics-consistent relations. These distributions are then passed to the radiation solver based on the Discrete Transfer Method (DTM) to compute attenuation effects due to absorption and scattering. The SWSM is easy to define, requiring only few inputs, and computationally lightweight, making it suitable for full-scale simulations where practical engineering insights are needed with limited setup time. The model was first verified by comparison with detailed simulations from another model, the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS), and subsequently validated using two independent experimental datasets. Finally, a large-scale industrial scenario involving a pool fire at a biogas facility was simulated to demonstrate its real-world applicability.
