Adding solid inertants to combustible dust is one measure to prevent and mitigate dust
explosions. Al 2 O 3 at four particle size distributions was used to determine the minimum …

Determination of the explosion severity parameters of biomass is crucial for the safety
management and dust explosion risk assessment of biomass-processing industries. These …

Abstracts Due to the presence of nitro groups, the dust generated during the production and
utilization of energetic materials may potentially lead to dust explosion even under low …

Safety characteristics are widely used in the process industry to design facilities in a safe
way. For powders, they are normally investigated under turbulent conditions inside a …

The determination of several safety characteristics for dusts requires the dispersion of it in
air. This is normally conducted using two vessels, one with an overpressure holding the dust …

The 20-L dust explosion apparatus is widely used for dust explosion risk assessment,
however the 1-m 3 apparatus remains the gold standard for explosion testing by generating …

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

Dust dispersibility, the tendency of dust to form clouds that remain airborne, can be an
important safety parameter in preventing dust explosion. One measure to moderate dust …

Dust explosion hazards can be analyzed by various explosion parameters, which are known
to depend on the particle size distribution of combustible dust. Literature has evidenced the …

Combustible dusts present an industrial hazard due to their ability to react rapidly and
generate dust explosions. Studies have shown that processes utilized to inject and disperse …
