Answer / ibrahim khan
To catch fire, fire triangle's condition, i.e. Fuel, Ignition source, and Oxygen must come in contact. Hence it doesn't catch the fire.

Answer / rajesh kumar bhagat
Because, to catch fire oxygen is necessary and column works
with no presence of oxygen and air.

Answer / prashant chalke
fractionating columns at these high temperature are mostly
operated at low pressure or in vacuum hence there is no
chances of taking fire.

Answer / वै
(This answer is purely based on my thermodynamics knowledge i gained till now)
Fire can only be produced in case of a combustion reaction.
And it can take place only if their is any free radical or unstable compound which can react with oxygen. It does not depend on temperature at all. So as fractionating column contains a mixture of two stable compouds, their is no chance of catching fire in the column, what so ever be the temperature.

Answer / rajeshkannan
in order to catch fire for any material it must reach its
auto ignition temperature

QUANTUM CHEMISTRY AND CHEMICAL ENGINEERING - EXAMPLE 31.1 : As an approximation, let v = Zc / 137 where v is the radial velocity for 1 s electron of an element, c is the speed of light, Z is the atomic number. For gold with Z = 79, find the radial velocity of its 1 s electron, in term of c and percentage of the speed of light. (b) As an approximation, let A x A = 1 - Z x Z / 18769 where A is the ratio of the relativistic and non-relativistic Bohr radius. Find the value of A.

Question 65 – A differential equation is given as y” + 5y’ + 6y = 0, y(0) = 2 and y’(0) = 3. By using Laplace transform, an engineer has correctly produced the equation L {y} = (2s + 13) / [(s + 2)(s + 3)] = A / (s + 2) + B (s + 3). (a) Find the values of A and B. (b) The inversed Laplace transform of 1 / (s + a) is given by exp (-at) where a is a constant. If the statement : L {y} = 9 L { exp (-2t) } - 7 L { exp (-3t) } is correct, find the equation of y as a function of t as a solution to the differential equation stated in the beginning of this question. When L {d} = 9 L {b} - 7 L {c}, then d = 9b - 7c with b, c and d are unknowns.
