Dust explosion defines the rapid combustion occurs when dust dispersed in air, within the closed medium or confined space. Its depending on the following conditions, the dust must be combustible

The LIT test is basically heating a compound directly to flame on Bunsen burner and we observe the nature of the flame. This is a test used to determine the type of bonding in organic compound. For unsaturated compound, you will observe sooty flame.

Minimum Explosive Concentration (MEC) is the lowest concentration of dispersed combustible dust, gas, or vapor in air that, when exposed to an ignition source, can result in an explosion.

Hazardous area classification (HAC) is the process of identifying areas within a facility where explosive atmospheres may exist due to the presence of flammable substances.

Layer Ignition Temperature is defined as the lowest temperature at which a 5 mm layer of combustible dust ignites on a heated surface. This parameter is crucial for understanding how dust deposits on hot surfaces can lead to fires or explosions in industrial settings.

Minimum Ignition Temperature (MIT) refers to the lowest temperature at which a substance can ignite under specific conditions without an external flame or spark.
