Synopsis
Excerpt from Dust Explosions: Theory and Nature of Phenomena, Causes and Methods of Prevention
The subject of Dust Explosions has not received serious consideration until recent years. In fact no one seemed to have any conception that dust alone could explode. But the fact that a large number of explosions have been occurring in mines and industrial plants where no explosive gases were present has proved this idea to be false and has led to a study of this particular hazard. The loss of life and property which many of these explosions have entailed has increased the demand for a comprehensive and authoritative publication on the subject. In attempting to meet this demand the authors desire to give the facts as they have been found by investigation, in such a way that they may be easily understood and applied.
