Abstract
The article analyzes the explosive and fire-hazardous properties of coal dust of various dispersions using the example of coal mine dust. The authors proposed sample preparation methods for obtaining and studying dust fractions with a dispersity of less than 800 microns. The results of a study of the shapes of dust particles are presented. To study the characteristic particle sizes the authors suggested using the optical microscopy method implemented using a LEICA DM 4000 microscope and the “Image Scope Color” information processing application. To assess the reactivity of dust particles, the authors used a simultaneous thermal analysis method implemented using an STA 449 F1 Jupiter with NETZSCH Proteus Software. The results of a thermogravimetric study of narrow fractions of organic coal dust are presented. The influence of dispersion on the explosive properties of dusts has been established. The results obtained showed the need and expediency of further study of precisely fine fractions of explosive dusts of this kind.
