Many common powders made in industry are combustible; particularly metals or organic materials such as flour. Since powders have a very high surface area, they can combust with explosive force once ignited. Facilities such as flour mills can be vulnerable to such explosions without proper dust mitigation efforts.
Some metals become especially dangerous in powdered form, notably titanium.
What else can I help you with?
What is the bonding process for powdered metals?
The process is called sintering and is based on atoms diffusion.
Is it possible for non metals and metals to form non polar covalent?
Yes, it is possible.
What metal reacts with water to cause an explosion?
there are some alkali metals. It can be sodium or potassium.
What metals come out a supernova?
In a supernova explosion, heavy elements (metals) such as iron, nickel, gold, and uranium are created through nucleosynthesis. These elements are formed from the fusion of lighter elements under extreme temperature and pressure conditions during the explosive event.
What is selenium's malleability?
Selenium is a brittle metalloid, not malleable like metals such as copper or gold. It can easily break, crumble, or be powdered under pressure instead of flattening or bending.
What is the bonding process for powdered metals?
The process is called sintering and is based on atoms diffusion.
Is it possible for metals and non metals to form polar?
Yes, it is possible.
Is it possible for metals and non metals to form polar covalent?
Yes, it is possible.
Is it possible for non metals and metals to form non polar covalent?
Yes, it is possible.
Can you change the structual arrangement of metals to become non metals?
No, it is not possible.
What metal reacts with water to cause an explosion?
there are some alkali metals. It can be sodium or potassium.
Which Metals are used to make the colors in fireworks?
Examples: - Sr, Li as carbonates - Na, Cs, K, Rb as nitrates - Ca, Ba, Cu as chlorides - powdered metals as Ti, Al, Be, Mg, Fe etc.
Is it possible for metals and non metals to form polar bond?
No. The difference in electronegativity is too great.
The majority of elements in the periodic table are?
Metals (as opposed to non-metals and semi-metals) or solids (as opposed to liquids and gases). There could possible be more answers as your questions is not very specific.
Is it possible for two metals to have the same emission spectrum?
No. It is not possible for two metals to have the same emission spectrum. For metals to have the same emission spectrum, they would need for their electrons to have duplicate orbitals. That would be impossible due to the exclusion principle.
Is it possible for metals and non metals form non polar covalent bond?
No. The difference in electronegativity is too great.
Is dust explosion is possible in wheat flour dust?
Many solids like wheat dust, wood dust and even metals in their dust form have high surface area. With a high surface area and surrounded by oxygen (as in the air), combustion can take place at a very rapid rate. This rapid rate of combustion can lead to an explosion. In fact, Dust explosions are hazards in many industries. Taffy
