I would like to post this in order to help everyone understand why it is possible to experience an explosion during the process of making CDS.
Please understand that I am a strong advocate of MMS & CDS and have helped many by giving them MMS with activating citric acid solution and teaching them how to use it correctly. I always make a batch with them and take a 15 drop dose myself and recommending that they start at a 4 or 5 drop dose and work their way up from there. I say that just to show that I support the common goal here and try to promote responsible use of MMS and CDS.
I was making CDS with MMS and citric acid in a bottle that was in water at a slow boil and after awhile the bottle I was using literally blew up with a loud enough boom to bring my wife and daughter in from the other room to see if everything was all right. After this blew up spraying the acidic MMS solution in my eyes, I immediately rinsed them with water and my vision recovered over the next couple of days from blurry to sharp again. I know Jim Humble addressed a report of the bottle blowing up in a video and did not think it could happen unless something was plugged. I have only the utmost respect for Jim, but I assure you nothing was plugged or restricted. The line to the glass of cold water (receiving chamber) was clear.
I did my research and learned that When chlorine dioxide concentrations reach 10% or more in air, chlorine dioxide becomes explosive. I believe that must be what happened as I also blew up a second bottle before learning this, however I I had taken precautions to insure it did not get into my eyes again.
I am sure this could be avoided by using an aquarium pump to continually force fresh air into the reaction chamber pushing the chlorine dioxide gas into the water container (receiving chamber) thereby preventing it from ever reaching a concentration of greator than 10% or by frequently blowing air into the reaction chamber as jim has done to pushing the chlorine dioxide gas into the water and preventing the chlorine dioxide from reaching more than a 10% concentration in the air.
I wanted everyone to understand why this can happen so the explosion of the gas can be prevented. Your eyes will thank you. As a safety precaution I would still recommend wearing safety glasses.
Good health to you and yours,
