Abstract:
Using the self-improved 20 L spherical explosion suppression experimental system, gas explosion suppression experiments on Mg(OH)
2 and CO
2 and both of them were studied. The results indicates that Mg(OH)
2 and CO
2 can suppress gas explosion. Adding Mg(OH)
2 which the concentration is 250 mg/L and CO
2 which the concentration is 8%, the time of the maximum explosion pressure prolongs more than three times, and the maximum explosion pressure and the maximum pressure rise rate decreased by 45.6% and 79.9%, when methane concentration is 11%. The explosion suppression effect of mixing Mg(OH)
2 and CO
2 is weak, compared with the effect which is added by Mg(OH)
2's and CO
2's.
