Fire and Explosion Hazards: Solid coal is not readily combustible but can be ignited through sustained contact with an open flame. Finely-divided coal dust is a moderate fire and explosion hazard, particularly when dispersed in the air at high concentrations in an enclosed space and exposed to flame or other ignition sources.
Get PriceCoal dust suspended in air is explosive—coal dust has far more surface area per unit weight than lumps of coal, and is more susceptible to spontaneous combustion.As a result, a nearly empty coal store is a greater explosion risk than a full one.

Get PriceJul 27, 2018 · Coal dust only needs to accumulate to a footprint size and already it is a fire hazard. As the conveyor moves, any friction that occurs can be enough of a heat source to cause an explosion. Any machine that is not running impeccably can cause friction and, as a result, a heat source.
[PDF]Get PriceJul 06, 2017 · Coal Dust Hazards. For a fire to occur, the fire triangle needs to be present - oxygen, fuel, and heat. An explosion happens when two other elements are added to the equation - dispersion of dust and confinement of dust, as shown in diagram A. Oxygen and fuel cannot be avoided in a PRB coal-fired power plant, but the heat source can originate from several different sources.

[PDF]Get PriceFloat coal dust is a serious explosion hazard if it accumulates on top of the rock dust and the area is not inerted by the application of additional rock dust. The explosion hazards of float coal dust have been studied over many decades by the former U.S. Bureau of Mines and NIOSH.
[PDF]Get Priceequipment against these hazards differ for different materials, hazardous locations are divided into three Classes, and two Divisions. The Classes are based on the type of hazard and the explosive characteristics of the material with the Divisions being based on the occurrence or risk of fire or explosion that the material presents.
Get PriceCombustible Dust – The Severity Of The Explosive Hazard. The severity of a combustible dust explosion, as well as the ease of ignition are dependent on the dust particle size. Dust particles smaller than 420 microns (particles that can pass through a U.S. No. 40 standard sieve) are most likely to be an explosive hazard.

Get PriceMay 15, 2014 · The Mitsui Miike coal mine explosion on 9 November 1963, was the second deadliest coal mining disaster in Japan after the Mitsubishi Hojyo Coal Mine Disaster in 1914. 458 miners were killed in the accident and 833 were injured. It was a coal dust explosion around 500m below the mine's ground level entrance.
