What causes a dust explosion?
A dust explosion occurs when a flammable substance in powder form suspended in the air ignites and burns rapidly. When a substance is pulverized, the surface area that is directly exposed to the air increases dramatically. This large surface area allows the combustion reaction to occur much more rapdily than would normally be possible, causing an explosion. Substances that can produce dust explosions include sawdust, grain dust, coal dust, starch, flour, and even some metals.
