Dust Explosion Severity In order to assess dust explosion risks, both the severity of a possible explosion and the likelihood of ignition must be determined. To determine the dust explosion severity, the tester suspends a powder sample in a 20-liter spherical explosion chamber and a high-energy ignition source is introduced to cause an explosion.

Limestone powder is a by-product of the limestone quarry, and it has been used in cement-based materials for many years. In 1938, Bessey [6] first reported that CaCO 3 could react with cement to form calcium-carboaluminate. The formation of calcium-carboaluminate was influenced by the amount and fineness of LS, but it had little effect on the compressive strength …
