Abstract

The aluminum dust explosion is one of the most serious accidents of dust explosion. The oxidation reaction ability of aluminium dust enhances after processed into small grain powder, the energy produced during explosion is large, so the damage is serious, and the possibility of the secondary explosion exists.The influencing factors in the conditions of aluminium dust explosion are: certain dust particle size and concentration; air or oxidant; the initial igniting energy; state of aluminium dust. Certain measures to prevent the aluminum dust explosion are discussed in the paper, based on the hazardous characteristics and factors related to the explosion of aluminum dust.
