超细聚苯乙烯微球粉体的燃爆特性研究

为研究超细聚苯乙烯微球粉体的燃爆特性,通过粉尘层最低着火温度测试装置、MIE-D1.2最小点火能测试装置、20 L球形爆炸测试装置,对其最低着火温度、最大爆炸压力、最小点火能量(MIE)等爆炸特性参数进行测定,探讨了加热温度、点火延滞时间、粉尘质量浓度、粉尘粒径对粉体燃爆特性的影响。结果表明:超细聚苯乙烯微球粉尘层在350℃左右时会发生无焰燃烧,且加热温度越高,粉体粒径越小,粉尘层发生着火时所需的时间越短;当粉体质量浓度为250 g/m3时,最大爆炸压力达到0.65 MPa,质量浓度为500 g/m3时,最大爆炸压力的上升速率达90 MPa/s以上;随点火延滞时间增加,最小点火能表现出先缓慢减小再急剧增大的规律;随粉尘质量浓度增加,最小点火能逐渐降低,当粉尘质量浓度超过500g/m3后逐渐趋于稳定。     

点火能量对粉尘爆炸下限浓度的影响

运用20L标准粉尘爆炸特性测试装置对不同粉尘在不同点火能量时的爆炸下限浓度进行测试,以此方法研究粉尘爆炸下限浓度随点火能量的变化规律。试验过程分别采用2. 5 k J、5 k J、10 k J点火能量对石松子粉、石墨粉、铝粉、金属打磨粉尘、纸粉、PVC粉、纺织粉、烟叶粉的爆炸下限浓度进行测试。试验结果显示粉尘爆炸下限浓度随点火能量的增加总体呈下降趋势;对于不易点燃的粉尘,其爆炸下限浓度随点火能量的增加将急剧下降。石墨粉随点火能量增加爆炸下限浓度急剧下降,铝粉、石松子粉和金属打磨粉尘受点火能量影响较小,对纸粉、纺织、烟叶粉尘影响中等。高点火能量可以扩大点火源波及的区域,从而使更多粉尘参与初始爆炸及其后的传播过程,这对于不易点燃粉尘的爆炸传播影响较大,而对于易燃粉尘的爆炸传播影响不大。为了更好的涵盖各种粉样的测试情况,也为了更加安全的指导作业现场粉尘防爆实践,推荐采用10 k J点火能量测试不易点燃的粉尘的爆炸下限。

Scaling of dust explosion violence from laboratory scale to full industrial scale – A challenging case history from the past

The standardized K_St parameter still seems to be widely used as a universal criterion for ranking explosion violence to be expected from various dusts in given industrial situations. However, this may not be a generally valid approach. In the case of dust explosion venting, the maximum pressure P_max generated in a given vented industrial enclosure is not only influenced by inherent dust parameters (dust chemistry including moisture, and sizes and shapes of individual dust particles). Process-related parameters (degree of dust dispersion, cloud turbulence, and dust concentration) also play key roles. This view seems to be confirmed by some results from a series of large scale vented dust explosion experiments in a 500 m³ silo conducted in Norway by CMI, (now GexCon AS) during 1980–1982. Therefore, these results have been brought forward again in the present paper. The original purpose of the 500 m³ silo experiments was to obtain correlations between P_max in the vented silo and the vent area in the silo top surface, for two different dusts, viz. a wheat grain dust collected in a Norwegian grain import silo facility, and a soya meal used for production of fish farming food. Both dusts were tested in the standard 20-L-sphere in two independent laboratories, and also in the Hartmann bomb in two independent laboratories. P_max and (dP/dt)_max were significantly lower for the soya meal than for the wheat grain dust in all laboratory tests. Because the available amount of wheat grain dust was much larger than the quite limited amount of available soya meal, a complete series of 16 vented silo experiments was first performed with the wheat grain dust, starting with the largest vent area and ending with the smallest one. Then, to avoid unnecessary laborious changes of vent areas, the first experiment with soya dust was performed with the smallest area. The dust cloud in the silo was produced in exactly the same way as with the wheat grain dust. However, contrary to expectations based on the laboratory-scale tests, the soya meal exploded more violently in the large silo than the wheat grain dust, and the silo was blown apart in the very first experiment with this material. The probable reason is that the two dusts responded differently to the dust cloud formation process in the silo on the one hand and in the laboratory-scale apparatuses on the other. This re-confirms that a differentiated philosophy for design of dust explosion vents is indeed needed. Appropriate attention must be paid to the influence of the actual dust cloud generation process on the required vent area. The location and type of the ignition source also play important roles. It may seem that tailored design has to become the future solution for tackling this complex reality, not least for large storage silos. It is the view of the present author that the ongoing development of CFD-based computer codes offers the most promising line of attack. This also applies to design of systems for dust explosion isolation and suppression.

Effect of ignition delay on explosion parameters of corn dust/air in confined chamber

This paper presents the explosion parameters of corn dust/air mixtures in confined chamber. The measurements were conducted in a setup which comprises a 5 L explosion chamber, a dust dispersion sub-system, and a transient pressure measurement sub-system. The influences of the ignition delay on the pressure and the rate of pressure rise for the dust/air explosion have been discussed based on the experimental data. It is found that at the lower concentrations, the explosion pressure and the rate of pressure rise of corn dust/air mixtures decrease as the ignition delay increases from 60 ms; But at the higher concentrations, the explosion pressure and the rate of pressure rise increase slightly as the ignition delay increases from 60 ms to 80 ms, and decrease beyond 80 ms. The maximum explosion pressure of corn dust/air mixtures reaches its highest value equal to 0.79 MPa at the concentration of 1000 gm⁻³.     

Explosibility of hydrogen–graphite dust hybrid mixtures

To evaluate the hazard of combined hydrogen/dust explosions under severe accident conditions in International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), standard method of 20-L-sphere was used to measure the explosion indices of 4-μm fine graphite dust in lean hydrogen/air mixtures. The mixtures were ignited by a weak electric spark. The tested fuel concentrations were 8–18 vol% H₂ and 25–250 g/m³ dust. If the hydrogen content is higher than 10 vol%, the dust constituent can be induced to explode by the hydrogen explosion initiated by a weak electric spark. Depending on the fuel component concentrations, the explosions proceed in either one or two stages. In two-stage explosions occurring at low hydrogen and dust concentrations, the mixture ignition initiates first a fast hydrogen explosion followed by a slower phase of the dust explosion. With increasing dust concentration, the dust explodes faster and can overlap the hydrogen-explosion stage. At higher hydrogen concentrations, the hybrid mixtures explode in one stage, with hydrogen and dust reacting at the same time scale. Maximum overpressures of hybrid explosions are higher than those observed with hydrogen alone; maximum rates of pressure rise are lower in two-phase explosions and, generally, higher in one-stage explosions, than those characteristic of the corresponding H₂/air mixtures.

Assessment of the thermal hazards and oxidization mechanism of coloured corn starch dust by TG–FTIR

Starch is widely used in industrial production and in every life, and an increasing number of accidents of starch dust burning and explosions are occurring and have caused serious casualties and economic losses. Previous studies on the oxidative properties and microscopic characterization of coloured corn starch dust have been less systematic than the present study. To prevent coloured corn starch dust explosion accidents more effectively, thermogravimetry and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were applied to study the oxidation characteristics of coloured corn starch dust. Seven characteristic temperatures were determined from the thermogravimetric curves and derivative thermogravimetric curves of coloured corn starch dust. The entire oxidation process of coloured corn starch dust was divided into five stages, and a 60% mass loss occurred in the rapid oxidation stage. Three iso-conversion methods were used to calculate the apparent activation energy (E_a) and pre-exponential factor (A) at different oxidation stages. The value of E_a was found to be related to the difficulty of the reaction, and it had a positive correlation with lnA. Six kinds of gases were detected during the oxidation process. The oxidation mechanism was further analysed by the macro and micro characterization of the oxidation process. The findings provide a theoretical basis for preventing and controlling explosion accidents that involve coloured corn starch dust.
