Study on Explosion Behavior of Air-born Rice Bran Dusts according to Ignition Energy

요약

쌀겨분진의 연소 및 전기적 점화에너지에 의한 폭발 위험성을 조사하기 위하여 시차주사열량계(DSC, Differential Scanning Calorimeter) 및 열중량 분석기(TGA, Thermogravimetric Analysis)와 순간승압조정기를 이용하여 온도 및 전기 스파크에 따른 발열개시온도, 발열량 등을 조사하였으며, 또한 Hartman 식 측정장치를 이용하여 쌀겨분진의 폭발 위험성을 측정하고자 하였다. DSC 분석 결과 대기 분위기에서 발열량이 증가하였으며 또한 승온속도가 증가하고 입도가 미세해질수록 발열량이 증가하였고, TGA 분석 결과 입도가 미세해질수록 분해량이 증가하였다. 한편 쌀겨분진의 폭발 위험성은 입도가 감소하고 농도가 증가할수록 또한 전기적 점화에너지가 클수록 폭발압력이 증가하였으며, 전기 점화원에 인가된 전압변화에 따른 폭발압력의 변화를 조사하였고, 50/60 mesh, 1.5mg/㎤에서 약 13.5kgf/$ extrm{cm}^2$의 최대 폭발압력을 나타내었다.

Abstract

We had investigated combustion pro야$pi$ies of rice bran dusts. Decomposition of rice bran d dusts with temperature were investigated using DSC and the weight loss according to t temperature using TGA in order to find the thermal hazard of rice bran dusts, and the p properties of dust explosion in variation of their dust with the same particle size. Using H Hartman's dust explosion apparatus which estimate dust explosion by electric ignition after m making dust disperse by compressed air, dust explosion experiments have been conducted by v varying concen$sigma$ation and size of rice br뻐 dust. According to the results for thermodynamic stability of rice bran dust, there are little change of initiation temperature of heat generation 때d heating value for used particle size. But i initiation temperature of heat generation decreased with high heating rate whereas d decomposition heat increased with particle size. Also, the explosion pressure was increased as t the ignition energy increased and average maximum explosion pressure was 13.5 kgv'cnt for 5 BJ/60 mesh and 1.5 뼈Ie미 dust concentration.
