Powdered materials are widely used in industrial processes, chemical processing, and
nanoscience. Because most flammable powders and chemicals are not pure substances,
their flammability and self-heating characteristics cannot be accurately identified using
safety data sheets. Therefore, site staff can easily underestimate the risks they pose.
Flammable dust accidents are frequent and force industrial process managers to pay
attention to the characteristics of flammable powders and create inherently safer designs …
