Abstract
En 中文
This study investigates the suppression effect of ultrafine CaCO3 powder on gas explosions through a series of experiments conducted in a medium-scale explosion tube (9.6 m in length) with varying concentrations of ultrafine CaCO3. The gas explosion suppression concentration was established at 9.5%. The results indicate that, at concentrations of 125 g/m(3) and 300 g/m(3), ultrafine CaCO3 powder significantly reduced the flame propagation speed of the gas explosion. Among the concentrations that did not fully suppress the gas explosion, 20 g/m(3) effectively mitigated the flame propagation speed and overpressure throughout the entire process. The concentration of 75 g/m(3) demonstrated a suppression-promotion-suppression-promotion pattern regarding the flame propagation rate, with significant fluctuations observed throughout the process. While the maximum suppression rate reached 60.9%, the maximum promotion rate was 131.12%. At 10 g/m(3), the flame propagation rate initially increased before decreasing, with the most effective suppression observed within the first 6.6 m, where flame propagation suppression increased rapidly from 58.13% to 74.82%, and the peak explosion overpressure was reduced by up to 62.94%. These findings contribute valuable insights for the development of effective gas explosion suppression strategies in mining environments.
