Abstract
This paper investigates the inhibition of oil shale and olive cake dust explosions when they are used as an alternative source of fuel. Special emphasis was given to the effect of particle size of the same material on the maximum permissible oxygen concentration to prevent dust explosion for different concentrations using nitrogen as the diluent gas. It was found that olive cake is ignited more easily than oil shale all over the range of particle sizes and dust concentration. Tests on different particle sizes were carried out, and it was found that the maximum permissible oxygen concentration for a given dust concentration increases with increasing the particle size for both oil shale and olive cake.
