I am currently researching Nickel hydrometallurgy and I am looking to understand the hazards on a HPAL circuit, specifically the Fleaters and Autoclaves. I understand that under certain conditions autoclaves can explode but I do not see how this can happen without direct heat? The only instances I find are in alumina refineries i.e. digesters, which to my mind are similar tech... does anyone have any pointers? I may add I am a mining engineer so be nice... I also completed a blast simulation but I find this very difficult to justify and I can't visualize this. i would appreciate any guidance on this matter.
