Abstract
This paper evaluates and analyses the explosion hazards associated
with transfer operations of powders into large containers, hoppers
and reactors, which may also contain flammable solvent vapours. The
formation and characteristics of explosive atmospheres and the occurrence
of process inherent ignition sources, such as static electricity
are described. The most commonly applied preventive measures and
technical equipment are outlined and discussed including their advantages
and disadvantages.
