Charging behavior of glass beads using a spiral air type tribocharging apparatus that utilizes a Faraday cup

This paper introduces a novel tribocharging apparatus that utilizes a Faraday cup and experimentally investigates the charging behavior of glass beads. The novel apparatus mainly consists of four parts: an air supply part to control air duration and pressure, a powder supply part for setting the desired amount of powder (1 g in this experiment), a metal pipeline for generating a tribocharge, and a cyclone for collecting the powder that has passed through the pipeline. Four different sizes of spherical glass beads were used in this experiment. As for the results, the charge clearly increased as the glass bead particles passed through the pipeline for all four types of glass beads. The charge amount of the glass beads and the charge amount obtained from the pipeline had a very similar trend and absolute values. This confirmed the reliability of the test and showed that there was no disturbance due to external noise. In all of the tests, the net charge was observed to be negative for all glass beads. This agrees with the triboelectric series relating to the work functions of metals and glass particles. Smaller particles had larger charge amounts than did larger ones with good reproducibility. The charge amount of all glass beads increased as the supplied spiral air pressure increased.

Electrostatic ignition hazards in insulating or dissipative tubes and hoses for pneumatic transfer of powders—Measurements and model calculations

When transferring powder through pipes or hoses made from insulating material, propagating brush discharges cannot be excluded. To calculate the limit value of the resistivity of the insulating material, below which no propagating brush discharges will occur, the charging current due to the powder transfer must be known. This charging current has been determined experimentally. Based on analytical calculations and computer models limit values for the resistivity of the hose material are derived from these experiments.     

Triboelectric charging behavior of wood particles during pellet handling processes

Electrostatic charges accumulated on wood particles through triboelectrification during their transportation and handling processes can cause hazardous electrical discharge which may further trigger dust explosion. In this work, tribo-charging behavior of different kinds of wood particles was investigated by a vibrating plate charging method. It was found that reduction in the work function difference between contact bodies might contribute to the reduction of tribo-charge generation, while the reduction of electrical resistivity of wood pellets could effectively accelerate the charge dissipation. As the particle size decreases, accumulated charges increase significantly. In contrast, higher moisture content of wood particles leads to lower charge accumulation due to an accelerated charge dissipation rate. Tribo-charging behaviors of white pellets, torrefied pellet, steam treated pellets and dark pellets have also been investigated. Compared to the white pellets, they all have shown a reduction on charge accumulation to some extent. However, results suggested that all of them have nearly equivalent tribo-charge density as coal and wheat grains used as references in this study.

针对在含硬夹矸高瓦斯低透气性煤层开采时，一方面煤层瓦斯抽采困难，另一方面煤层中的坚硬夹矸难破碎的问题，开展含硬夹矸高瓦斯低透气性煤层多向聚能爆破研究。理论上，分析多向聚能装药对爆破的影响，引入多向聚能影响系数，计算得出了不同方向上裂隙的范围。通过相似模拟试验，验证了多向聚能爆破实际效果；利用LS-DYNA数值模拟软件，对不同装药方式爆破作用下煤与夹矸裂隙的发育特征及应力演化规律进行了数值模拟研究。研究结果表明:多向聚能爆破能够将爆破能量积聚在夹矸弱化和煤层增透的方向上，形成以导向裂隙为主，大量分支裂隙为辅的裂隙网，在夹矸弱化和煤层增透方向上的应力峰值分别为普通爆破的1.21倍和1.16倍。多向聚能爆破能够在提高破碎坚硬夹矸能力的同时提升煤体中裂隙的发育程度，从而大幅优化爆破效果。

Suppression of cone discharges in a powder silo using a grounded metal rod

While filling a large silo with coarse nonconductive powders, strong electrostatic sparks known as a cone discharge, which can become sufficiently energized to ignite a flammable dust cloud, often occur on the surface of a powder heap. In an attempt to mitigate or eliminate a cone discharge, a long metal rod with a pointed tip or a flat tip was vertically installed in the center of an experimental silo (1.5 m in diameter, 2 m in effective height) with the objective that the static charge might be released by the corona discharges or the surface potential of the powder heap reduced by the electric field reducing effect. The experimental results are summarized as follows:(1) No cone discharges were observed while the silo was being filled with polypropylene pellets when either a pointed tip or a flat-tip rod was installed so that its lower end was located 10 cm above or 30 cm below the heap surface level. A corona discharge that occurred on the pointed tip was shown to be effective to some extent in reducing the charge of the powder heap.(2) Brush discharges were observed near the metal rod and its support. However, we assume that the maximum energy was not high enough to ignite a dust cloud with minimum ignition energy greater than 3 mJ.     

瓶级聚酯切片静电起电特性试验研究*

Dynamics of dust explosions suppression by means of extinguishing powder in various industrial conditions

In industrial conditions, there are different kinds of installations endangered by an explosion of dust–gas mixtures. In order to prevent them from any consequences of potential explosions, active protection systems which use extinguishing powders, as the suppressing material, are more and more widely applied. It often happens that the industrial installations are additionally endangered by an action of mechanical vibrations. In the above-mentioned conditions, the extinguishing powder tends to aggregate, making the process of dispersing it in the protected areas more difficult.

The results of research into optimization of the shape, number of igniters and miniaturization of the explosive charge mass are presented. In case of occurrence of the mechanical vibrations in the installations that cause aggregation of the suppressing powder, the best solution was modification of the perforated combustion chamber located inside the extinguisher. As a result of that, a certain amount of gases generated in the course of combustion of the main charge is directed over the membrane, where the gases crash a layer of aggregated powder. Thus, the process of pushing the powder out from a container towards the dispersing head improves considerably and consequently increases the efficiency of the explosion-suppressing process.

Charge-separating processes by spraying water under high pressure

Spraying water under high pressure generates charge-separating processes. While cleaning tanks and vessels in which an explosive atmosphere is present, an explosion may occur in the event of a resulting discharge. Water forms electrical double layers at the phase boundaries. Mechanical separation processes dissolve the water into many drops. This leads to charge separation and the charging of the sprayed water. The mechanical separation processes include water exiting from the nozzle, hydrodynamic instability in the jet and impact with an obstacle. Given that water has many charge carriers, the charge is stronger than with solvents. Whether the charges and the resulting discharges are potentially capable of igniting an explosive atmosphere must be investigated. The aim of this research is to define the quantity and polarity of the electrostatic charges of sprayed water under high pressure. Different measurement techniques and methods are used to enable mutual validation and to generate verified measurement results of the electric field and the potential. Water of different electrical conductivity is sprayed in free space and into a grounded conductive 1 m³ vessel. Design changes to the vessel allow centric or oblique spraying. The result is intended to extend the scope of application of the German regulation TRGS 727 and the international IEC TS 60079-32-1, which refer to ignition hazards due to electrostatic charging. This project is funded by the DGUV (German Social Accident Insurance) and partners from industry.     

Charge reduction on polypropylene granules and suppression of incendiary electrostatic discharges by using a novel AC electrostatic ionizer

As a method to prevent or mitigate electrostatic charge and/or discharges, we have developed a novel AC electrostatic ionizer. In this study, we evaluated experimentally the practical version of the novel AC electrostatic ionizer with a modeling test system and a pneumatic powder transport facility. In addition, electrostatic discharges generated inside a silo while loading polypropylene (PP, 3 mm) granules were observed visually with/without the novel AC ionizer. The specific charge was clearly decreased with the novel AC electrostatic ionizer. The specific charge obtained with the four arranged AC electrostatic ionizers used was approximately one eighth of that without the AC ionizer. The incendiary bulk surface discharges completely died out inside the silo by using the four arranged ionizers.     

Electrostatic hazards of charging of bedclothes and ignition in medical facilities

We investigated the charge generated on bedclothes (cotton and polyester) during bedding exchange with different humidities and the ignitability of an alcohol-based hand sanitizer (72.3 mass% ethanol) due to static spark with different temperatures to identify the hazards of electrostatic shocks and ignitions occurring previously in medical facilities. The results indicated that charging of the polyester bedclothes may induce a human body potential of over about 10?kV, resulting in shocks even at a relative humidity of 50%, and a human body potential of higher than about 8?kV can cause a risk for the ignition of the hand sanitizer. The grounding of human bodies via footwear and flooring, therefore, is essential to avoid such hazards (or to reduce such risks).
