DETERMINATION OF THE PHYSICO-CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF LYCOPODIUM AND STARCH COMBUSTIBLE POWDER

Fine particles known as combustible dusts can cause explosions when they are suspended in the air under certain conditions. A dust explosion could result in severe fatalities, injuries, and structural devastation. The risk of such events can be reduced by knowing the flammability parameters and the...

Summary:Fine particles known as combustible dusts can cause explosions when they are suspended in the air under certain conditions. A dust explosion could result in severe fatalities, injuries, and structural devastation. The risk of such events can be reduced by knowing the flammability parameters and the physico-chemical analysis for combustible dusts, in order to take additional protective measures generated by the occurrence of these types of explosive mixtures. The purpose of this research was to identify the flammability properties for two combustible dusts, lycopodium and starch, such as minimum ignition temperature of the dust cloud and dust layer, and some physico chemical analysis regarding the composition.
