An experimental investigation of requirements for coal dust inerting was conducted in a 26 I, spherical chamber. A mine-face sample of coal from the Prince mine of the Cape Breton Development Corporation was tested; rock dusts used were limestone, dolomite (two particle sizes) and magnesite.
Limestone, dolomite and magnesite (all having approximately the same particle size) were found to be similar in inerting effectiveness, indicating that the decomposition reaction of the endothermic rock dust did not exert an effect over the short time scales during which the volatiles burn during an explosion. Tests with the two sizes of dolomite showed that a decrease in rock dust particle size could significantly lowerthe amount required to inert.

The rate of wetting of coal dust by aqueous solutions of surface active agents (surfactants) has been studied. It has been shown that surfactant is adsorbed onto the coal surface during the wetting process. Rates of wetting by solutions of the widely used sodium salt of di(2-ethylhexyl)sulphosuccini

AbstractΓThe inhibition eect of inert chemical compounds on oil shale dust explosion was investigated by measuring the minimum ignition temperature and the minimum explosive concentration of oil shale in the dust sample. Initially these two parameters were measured without the addition of inhibitors
