Abstract
The objective of this project was originally specified as to “perform literature review on relevant research and dust explosion incidents focused on those factors which impact the dust hazard assessment, such as dispersibility (entrainability), layer thickness and entrainment characteristics of dust particles, facility geometry and deposition characteristics, etc.”

These additives cause an increase in the cohesion of the particles in the layer, thereby requiring stronger disturbance for their entrainment. Treated dust also tend to peel as large agglomerates rather than individual particles, which tend to settle out faster. Dust abatement techniques of this type have been in use in a number industries such as grain, coal and chemical.
