TLDR
In this article, the authors give a general overview of factors that can cause a dust explosion and the means by which such an event can be prevented and mitigated. But, the authors do not consider the safety culture and a safety management system approach.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Dust explosions: A threat to the process industries
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors considered more than 2000 dust explosion accidents that occurred worldwide between 1785 and 2012 and examined spatially and temporally the statistical features of these cases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of wireless sensor network for environmental monitoring in underground coal mines: A systematic review
TL;DR: The need for further research for effective utilization of WSN technique and application of new advanced techniques for efficient monitoring of underground coal mines are explored in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Some myths and realities about dust explosions
TL;DR: The necessary conditions for a dust explosion to occur are well-expressed by the explosion pentagon: fuel, oxidant, ignition source, mixing of the fuel and oxidant and confinement of the resulting mixture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inhibition evaluation of ABC powder in aluminum dust explosion
TL;DR: The inhibition mechanism of aluminum dust explosion by ABC powder was summarized systematically based on results and the particles of the explosion residues of Al/NH3 mixture and Al/ABC mixture were significantly larger than those of pure aluminum explosion residues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Explosibility of micron- and nano-size titanium powders
TL;DR: Explosibility of micron-and nano-titanium was determined and compared according to explosion severity and likelihood using standard dust explosion equipment as discussed by the authors, which was followed using a Siwek 20-L explosion chamber, MIKE 3 apparatus and BAM oven.

Dust Explosions in the Process Industries
TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive account of the existing practical and theoretical knowledge of the origin, development, prevention and mitigation of dust explosions in the process industries is presented, along with an up-to-date evaluation of prevalent activities, testing methods, design measures and safe operating techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dust explosions–Cases, causes, consequences, and control
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the state-of-the-art of dust explosion state of the art, and present the ways available to prevent dust explosion, and on cushioning the impact of a dust explosion by venting when the accident does take place.
Journal ArticleDOI
Overview of dust explosibility characteristics
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide information on the explosibility and ignitability properties of dust clouds that can be used to improve safety in industries that generate, process, use, or transport combustible dusts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Understanding dust explosions. The role of powder science and technology
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss influences of these factors on the ignition sensitivity and explosion violence of dust clouds, and the consequences of the mentioned factors in design of mitigatory measures such as explosion isolation, explosion venting, and automatic explosion suppression, are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of inherent safety principles to dust explosion prevention and mitigation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explicitly link the inherent safety principles of minimization, substitution, moderation and simplification with strategies for dust explosion prevention and mitigation, and present a brief review of inherent safety and its basic principles.
