stone). If an explosion should occur, the rock dust disperses, mixes with the coal dust and prevents fl ame propagation by acting as a thermal inhibitor or heat sink. To investigate this process in more detail, a number of ex plosion experiments using various coal dust and limestone rock dust mixes have been carried out at the Lake Lynn

The finest size coal dust (<38 μm) and the coarsest mine size coal dust (<850 μm) required 90% and 72% rock dust inertant respectively for suppressing the coal dust explosion. The optimal coal dust concentration that causes a violent explosion and requires maximum proportion of rock dust inertant for explosion suppression was …

In order to prevent the formation of an explosible coal cloud, rock dust (usually finely ground limestone) is spayed over the coal dust in mine entries to create an inert dust mixture. To render such dust sufficiently inert, U.S regulations require that rock dust be added to the coal dust such that there is a minimum of 65% incombustible matter ...

To prevent coal dust explosion propagations, rock dust needs to be lifted and suspended in the air with the coal dust during an explosion. The addition of anti-caking agents prevents caking of rock dust in the presence of water. Mining and rock dusting processes can frequently create alternating layers of rock dust and float coal …
