Detailed Solution

Slow combustion is a slow oxidation of a fuel at low temperature without a visible flame. It releases heat gradually and often shows only a glow or mild warming.

Characteristics

  • Gradual heat release and little light.
  • Often occurs near room temperature or warm conditions.
  • No flame; sometimes smoldering.

Examples and uses

  • Rusting of iron, which is very slow combustion.
  • Cellular respiration in living things.
  • Compost heaps warming from microbial oxidation.
  • Industrial curing and aging processes.

Safety note

  • Oily rags can self-heat during slow oxidation and may ignite later. Store and dispose of them correctly.
