| Abstract |
Review of the methods available for the determination of the ignition characteristics of dusts: ignition temperature in hot premises; flammability on surfaces at 200°C; spontaneous combustion; ignition on contact with hot surfaces, sparks and electric arcs; lower explosive limit. Data relating to lignite, coal, aluminium and polystyrene dusts are set out in tabular form. The author studies the effects of non-combustible matter in coal dust and of particle size on the degree of flammability. |
