This article deals with study of minimum ignition temperature (MIT) of thermally modified spruce dust. Dust of several species of spruce was mixed, sieved, dried and subjected to Thermo-S temperature programme. Samples of dust (200 250 μm) were tested in Goldbert-Greenwald furnace apparatus for determination of the MIT of dust clouds. The influence of air pressure and sample weight to the MIT was studied. The results show that the MIT of thermally modified spruce dust gradually decreases as the sample weight and air pressure rise. The lowest value of MIT (470 °C) was measured, when the air pressure was 50 kPa and the sample weight 0,5 g. To reach even lower values of MIT (˂468 °C), the air pressure should gradually rise to approx. 42 46 kPa and the weight of dust sample should be approx. 0,46 0,53 g.

Abstract The aim of this scientific paper is an analysis of the minimum ignition temperature of dust layer and the minimum ignition temperatures of dust clouds. It could be used to identify the threats in industrial production and civil engineering, on which a layer of combustible dust could occure. Research was performed on spent coffee grounds. Tests were performed according to EN 50281-2-1:2002 Methods for determining the minimum ignition temperatures of dust (Method A). Objective of method A is to determine the minimum temperature at which ignition or decomposition of dust occurs during thermal straining on a hot plate at a constant temperature. The highest minimum smouldering and carbonating temperature of spent coffee grounds for 5 mm high layer was determined at the interval from 280 °C to 310 °C during 600 seconds. Method B is used to determine the minimum ignition temperature of a dust cloud. Minimum ignition temperature of studied dust was determined to 470 °C (air pressure - 50 kPa, sample weight 0.3 g).

Fire characteristics of wood dusts serve for qualitative comparison of combustibility and explosibility, for suggesting precautionary measures, for predicting consequences of fires and explosions. Setting of given characteristics by calculation is not possible yet. Therefore the most reliable results are set by experiment. The article deals with the testing of the minimum ignition temperature depending on the different types of dust layer and different heights of surface.

Corn dust is a significantly energetic dust and widely used substance in food processing industries. It not only poses dust hazards like suffocation or lungs related issues to the exposed workers but also is highly combustible under a conducive environment. In this study, the minimum ignition temperature (MIT) of corn dust clouds was evaluated at varying combinations of dispersion pressure and concentration using a Godbert–Greenwald (G–G) furnace. A response surface was generated using design expert as a tool for the application of response surface methodology (RSM). The predicted R2 and adjusted R2 are reasonably in close agreement as the difference is less than 0.2. The predicted surface is found to be in good agreement with the experimental results. However, as this is a preliminary study, the model will be improved in future research.
