Powdered materials are widely used in industrial processes, chemical processing, and
nanoscience. Because most flammable powders and chemicals are not pure substances …

The current research provides guidance on the prevention and mitigation of dust explosion
using a Quantitative Risk Management Framework (QRMF). Using concepts drawn from …

The hazards of dust explosions prevailing in plants are dependent on a large variety of
factors that include process parameters, such as pressure, temperature and flow …

The majority of powders that are used in the processing industries are combustible (also
referred to as flammable, explosible). An explosion will occur if the concentration of the …

Explosion behaviors of typical light metal and carbonaceous dusts induced by different
ignition energies were investigated based on systematic experiments in a Siwek 20 L …

The maximum and minimum values of dust explosion parameters are indeterminate
because the possibility of explosion has not been quantified under conditions that approach …

Dust explosions occur frequently in process industries leading to serious financial losses
and injuries to personnel. Case histories during the past 30 years in China are reviewed in …

Dust explosions are a serious hazard in the process industries. They have resulted in the
destruction of process plants and equipment, injury to workers, and loss of production. The …

Dust explosion is one of the main threats to equipment safety and human health in
industries. Complex factors leading to accidents, serious consequences, and relevant safety …

The aim of the current work is to explicitly link the inherent safety principles of minimization,
substitution, moderation and simplification with strategies for dust explosion prevention and …
