Book Description
In October 1985, a sulphide dust explosion occurred at the Geco Division Mineof Noranda Minerals Inc., which resulted in a fatality. The circumstanceswere examined in detail by Geco with a number of outside specialists and apaper detailing the findings. This workshop presents that paper, casehistories and technical papers. The participants of the workshop includerepresentatives of major Canadian mining companies, regulatory agencies, explosives manufacturers, CANMET, United States Bureau of Mines, and several universities.

Practical and Theoretical Aspects of Sulphide Dust Explosions

Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
Over the past 2 decades there has been a significant increase in the number and severity of sulphide dust explosions in the underground workings of massive sulphide deposits in Australia, Canada, Europe and South Africa. The mining industry has been somewhat complacent about these explosions since casualties are rare, but extensive damage occurred to plant and equipment. This document presents an overview and summary of the problem, describing coal, industrial dust and sulphide explosions; the factors which influence the explosibility of dust; a detailed description of sulphide dust explosions; methods of prevention and inhibition for both coal and sulphide dust; post-explosion evaluation; research conducted; and the determination of dust explosion parameters.

Dust Explosions in the Process Industries
Author: Rolf K. Eckhoff
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0080488749
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 745
Book Description
Unfortunately, dust explosions are common and costly in a wide array of industries such as petrochemical, food, paper and pharmaceutical. It is imperative that practical and theoretical knowledge of the origin, development, prevention and mitigation of dust explosions is imparted to the responsible safety manager. The material in this book offers an up to date evaluation of prevalent activities, testing methods, design measures and safe operating techniques. Also provided is a detailed and comprehensive critique of all the significant phases relating to the hazard and control of a dust explosion. An invaluable reference work for industry, safety consultants and students. - A completely new chapter on design of electrical equipment to be used in areas containing combustible/explosible dust - A substantially extended and re-organized final review chapter, containing nearly 400 new literature references from the years 1997-2002 - Extensive cross-referencing from the original chapters 1-7 to the corresponding sections of the expanded review chapter

Dust Explosions
Author: Jean Cross
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461568692
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 255
Book Description
The interest of the media in dust explosions increased considerably following two major grain-elevator disasters in the United States in 1979. However, these were not isolated incidents and were statistically unusual only in the high loss of life involved. Any oxidizable material that is dispersed in fine powder form may be explosive, and ignition sources with sufficient energy to ignite a dust cloud are easily produced in normal industrial processing. Dust fires and minor incidents are not uncommon in many industries, but fortunately the combination of events and circumstances that must coincide for a large-scale explosion arise only rarely. Nevertheless, this is often more by luck than by good management and many potentially hazardous situations are common in industry. An explosive dust cloud and the circumstances in which it can ignite are not as simple to define as the equivalent situation in gases or flammable vapors. A large number of definitions and experimental tests have been devised to characterize the explosibility of dusts and ignition sources. The aim of this book is to provide a guide describing conditions in industry that could lead to dust explosions and the means to avoid them. Ignition sources and the way in which they can arise in powder processing are discussed and illustrated by case histories of reported incidents. The methods by which the potential hazards of a process or product can be evaluated are described, with special attention paid to the interpretation of the results of the different experimental methods.
