What is a Combustible Dust Explosion: Causes and Prevention
The sequence of events leading to a combustible dust explosion involves the dispersion of dust particles in the air, the formation of a dust cloud, ignition, and the subsequent rapid combustion of the cloud, resulting in pressure waves, fireballs, and potential damage. Historical Context:
10.1: The Rate of a Chemical Reaction
In coal mines, huge blocks of coal must be broken up before the coal can be brought out of the mine. In the process of breaking up the huge blocks of coal, drills are used to drill into the walls of coal. This drilling produces fine coal dust that mixes into the air; then a spark from a tool can cause a massive explosion in the mine.

Coal dust explosibility
The pressure trace in Figure 3A starts at the partially evacuated value of 0.14 bar (a). The blast of air that disperses the dust starts at 0.1 s and ends at. 0.4 s on the pressure-time trace. The ignitor is activated at 0.5 s at a chamber pressure of 1.0 bar (a). The maximum explosion pressure is about 3 bar (a).
