| Chlorine is also an oxidizer, so it helps to remove iron, hydrogen sulfide, and other minerals. |
| It is a very powerful acidic oxidizer which can ignite or explode on contact with many materials. |
| A third type, called a hybrid, combines a solid fuel with a liquid oxidizer. |
| If the nitrogen-based oxidizer comes into contact with water or anything organic, it causes spontaneous combustion. |
| Overall efficiencies range from 30 to 80 percent, depending on the fuel and oxidizer and on the basis for the calculation. |
| Fire: Not combustible, but substance is a strong oxidizer and heat of reaction with reducing agents or combustibles may cause ignition. |
