Fibre Chemistry Aims and scope

Conclusions

The fractional composition of viscose fibre dust formed in the packaging division has been investigated.

A quantitative determination of the combustible dust accuulated in the manufacturing packaging site has been carried out.

It has beem shown that the viscose fibre dust fraction with a particle size less than 0.800 mm presents an explosion hazard, but the content of explosive dust does not exceed 6.1% of the total amount of dust. Dust which has not been separated into fractions presents no explosion hazard.

To ensure safety from fire in viscose fibre packaging locations, it is necessary to use a mechanized dust-collection system.
