Phosphorus fire, commonly known as ghost fire, is it a low temperature fire?

It is a low-temperature fire, and the ignition point of white phosphorus is 40℃, so white phosphorus is easy to burn.

"Ghost fire" is actually phosphorus fire, which is a very common natural phenomenon. It is formed in this way: in addition to the vast majority of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, the human body also contains other elements, such as phosphorus, sulfur and iron. Human bones contain more calcium phosphide. People are dead, bodies are buried in the ground to rot, and various chemical reactions are taking place. Phosphorus is converted from phosphate to phosphine. Phosphine is a gaseous substance with low ignition point, which will burn when it comes into contact with air at room temperature (Ca3p2+6H2O = = 2ph3+3ca (OH) 2, PH3+2o2 = = h3po4). After phosphine is produced, it is emitted into the air along cracks or holes in the ground, and emits blue light after burning. This is phosphorus fire, also known as "ghost fire".
