Abstract

The technique of differential thermal analysis was used, in an original way, for studying spontaneous ignition and combustion of powders. The measurements were performed with a high-pressure differential thermal analysis instrument. Selfignition temperatures of powders were determined by analysing the samples under a high pressure of oxygen (25 bar). Self ignition temperature values are given for powders which are of interest in the food industry.

    Changes in surface chemistry and other pchem properties will likely affect the flammability of CNs (Fox et al., 2012; Fox et al., 2013). Conventional cellulose dust is combustible at 240 °C (Raemy and Loeliger, 1985) and is classified as “St 2 – Strong Explosion” based on a dust deflagration index (Kst) of 229 (NFPA, 2013; OSHA, 2009). Interestingly, in the current study the L-CNC was determined to have a Kst of 146, classifying it as a “St 1 - Weak to Moderately Explosible” class dust, which is lower than conventional cellulose dust.
