Three coal dusts from Lingan Coal Mine in Canada and Datong Coal Mine in China are selected to test. The influence of particle size on the maximum explosion pressure P max and maximum pressure rising rate (d p /d t ) max of each coal dust was tested experimentally. The results indicate that with the decrease of particle size of coal dusts, explosion pressure increases on condition of the same concentration. If the concentration of coal dust is different, the maximum explosion pressure appears at the concentration of 500 g/m^3. The smaller the particle size of coal dusts, the larger the rising rate of explosion pressure of coal dust. When the concentration of coal dust is 500 g/m^3, the rising rate of explosion pressure of each coal dust is the maximum.展开更多

The new criterion puts calcium peroxide and microcrystalline cellulose as references and burning rate as evaluation index. Effects of mixing ratio and insert medium on burning rate are reached. Test results show that pure potassium nitrate doesn't burn under normal temperature and pressure, however, its oxidation is very strong and the packaging category should choose the class I. As the mass fraction of potassium nitrate reduces, the burning rate first increases and then decreases. When the ratio is 2 : 1,the combustion rate reaches the maximum, and the effect of combustion is the best. When 1 : 3, the combustion rate is the minimum. The mixture combustion can be suppressed by silicon dioxide and hy-drogen phosphate, which is not fired when silica concentration is 40% or ammonium hydrogen potassium phosphate is 55%, their effects are very obvious.展开更多
