Ignition Temperature and Explosion Pressure of Suspended Coal Dust Cloud Under Different Conditions and Suppression Characteristics

The ignition and explosion processes of suspended coal dust clouds and their suppression characteristics are important aspects of dust prevention and control. To understand the ignition temperature and explosion pressure of coal dust clouds, as well as the inhibitory effect of explosion suppressants, experimental tests are conducted. The study found that during the ignition process of coal dust clouds, the optimal dust spray pressure is 20 kPa, because coal dust clouds are more likely to ignite under this condition. When the mass concentration of coal dust cloud is 500 g m, the maximum pressure and maximum pressure rise rate are both the highest. When Al(OH) is mixed with coal dust and the mass percentage is 60%, the coal dust cloud can still be ignited. When KHPO is mixed with coal dust, the upper limit of the test temperature is reached when the percentage of mixture is 55%. When NHHPO is mixed with coal dust and the mass percentage is greater than 40%, the coal dust cloud can't be ignited anymore. The suppression effect of mixing Al(OH) and NHHPO is not as good as that of mixing KHPO and NHHPO.
