Abstract The ignition and explosion of coal dust are significant hazards in coal mines. In this study, the minimum ignition temperature and energy of non-stick coal dust were investigated empirically at different working conditions to identify the key factors that influence the sensitivity and characteristics of coal dust explosions. The results showed that for a given particle size, the minimum ignition temperature of the coal dust layer was inversely related to the thickness of the coal dust layer. Meanwhile, when the layer thickness was kept constant, the minimum ignition temperature of the coal dust layer decreased with smaller coal dust particle sizes. Over the range of particle sizes tested (25–75 μm), the minimum ignition temperature of the coal dust cloud gradually increased when larger particles was used. At the same particle size, the minimum ignition temperature of the coal dust layer was much lower than that of the coal dust cloud. Furthermore, the curves of minimum ignition energy all exhibited a minimum value in response to changes to single independent variables of mass concentration, ignition delay time and powder injection pressure. The interactions of these three independent variables were also examined, and the experimental results were fitted to establish a mathematical model of the minimum ignition energy of coal dust. Empirical verification demonstrated the accuracy and practicability of the model. The results of this research can provide an experimental and theoretical basis for preventing dust explosions in coal mines to enhance the safety of production.

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).

The main purpose of this publication is to determine minimal ignition temperature of dust cloud. The flammable and explosive dust is formed during the production, transport, storage and usage of the wood pallets. The examined samples in experimental part of the work were made from different kind of pallets. Contribution deals with analysis of fire and explosion hazards of dust particles generated during transportation and handling of wood pellets. Minimum ignition temperature of dust cloud were performed according to STN EN 50281-2-1. In terms of forensic approach, by using of selected methods, the conditions in which initiation and explosion of dust can be occurred were simulated the exposibility for wood pellets dust was tested under different condition using various pressures and various weight to samples. Defining the conditions in which the risk of formation of dangerous situation exists, helps to predict the fire and explosion in the premises where the pellets are used.
