Abstract
Using 20 L spherical explosion vessel and differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), an experimental investigation was carried on explosion characteristics and thermal decomposition of some reactive organic dust. As the result, the minimum explosion concentration of Benzoyl peroxide (BPO), Phthalic anhydride (PA) and 1-Hydroxybenzotriazol (HBT) exist between 10 and 15 g/$m^3$, which indicates that their explosion sensitivity are high. The maximum Kst values of HBT, PA and 97 % BPO are 251, 146 and 80 [$bar{\cdot}m/s$], respectively and the explosion severity of HBT is the explosion class of St-2. The flame velocity was also calculated from the combustion time of dust and flame arrival time to estimate the flame propagation characteristics in a closed vessel. The decomposition temperature and heat of decomposition reaction for 97 % BPO and HBT are $107^{\circ}C$ (1025 J/g), $214^{\circ}C$ (1666 J/g), respectively and it was found that these low decomposition temperature and high released heat affect the explosion characteristics.
20 L 구형 폭발시험장치와 시차주사열량계(DSC)를 사용하여 반응성 유기물 분진의 폭발 및 열분해 특성을 실험적으로 조사하였다. 그 결과 97 % Benzoyl peroxide(BPO), Phthalic anhydride(PA), 1-Hydroxybenzotri azol(HBT)의 폭발하한은 매우 낮은 농도인 10~15 g/$m^3$의 범위로 측정되어 착화위험성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. HBT, PA 및 97 % BPO의 폭발지수는 각각 251, 146, 80 [bar m/s]로서, HBT는 폭발등급 2에 해당한다. 또한 밀폐계 분진폭발의 화염전파 특성을 추정하기 위하여 용기면에의 화염도달시간과 폭발압력을 고려하여 화염전파속도를 예측하였다. 97 % BPO 및 HBT의 열분해 개시온도와 발열량은 각각 $107^{\circ}C$(1025 J/g), $214^{\circ}C$(1666 J/g)로 나타났는데, 이와같이 낮은 열분해 온도와 큰 발열량이 폭발특성에 영향을 주는 것으로 판단된다.
