Safety Hazards Posed by Ceramic-Top Hotplates.
De Forest, Peter; And Others
Journal of Chemical Education, v65 n8 p722-23 Aug 1988
Describes a laboratory explosion involving 30 percent hydrogen peroxide being heated on a ceramic-top hotplate. Gives three safety suggestions: peroxides should be treated as potential explosion hazards; alternatives to the ceramic-top hotplate for these reactions should be considered; and lab workers should be prepared for the worst possible case.
