Effect of equilibrium relative humidity on explosion characteristics parameters of humid magnesium dust by Xinyu Xiong, Kai Gao, Changquan Ji, Jie Mu, Bin Li, Dan Zhang, Yadong Xu, Lifeng Xie

“…This phenomenon effectively improved the explosion characteristics parameters of the humid magnesium dust, thereby increasing the sensitivity and risk of the explosion system. However, in the case of a high degree of “oxygen-poor” state, the derived hydrogen instead became burdensome, resulting in an excessive amount of magnesium dust that was unavailable for reaction. …”
