Drug powder explosions pose a potential threat to the process safety of pharmaceutical
companies in the processing and storage of products. To explore a reasonable and efficient …

Physical hazards of chemical mixtures, associated for example with their fire or explosion
risks, are generally characterized using experimental tools. These tests can be expensive …

As the use of biomass as a carbon-neutral energy source increases, so does the need for
storage facilities, especially for those that are highly seasonal. Consequently, the stored …

There are at least two main requirements for repeatable and reliable measurements of
flammability and explosibility parameters of dusts: a uniform dispersion of solid particles …

Coating of nanoscale flow aids is widely used in pharmaceutical applications to increase the
flowability of cohesive powders. For combustible pharmaceutical active ingredients and …

Mixtures of biodiesel, glycerol, and ethanol/methanol are commonly processed and stored in
biodiesel production. In this work, non-ideal models are used to calculate the Flash Points …

Combustible dusts deposited on ground or surfaces present a fire hazard to process
industries. It was found that flame spread on an upwardly inclined surface was significantly …

Safety parameters assessment is not sufficient to fully understand the flammable and
explosive behaviour of a combustible dust and correctly manage potential risk. A correct …

Minimum ignition temperature of dust clouds (MITC) was studied experimentally and
theoretically in different atmospheres. Three carbonaceous dusts were tested in both air and …

Dust explosion is one common type of process safety incident within the pharmaceutical
industry. During powder processing, surface modification is widely used to increase dust …
