TY - CONF A1 - Krietsch, Arne A1 - Scheid, Marc A1 - Schmidt, Martin T1 - Burning and explosion properties of metallic nano powders T2 - Hazards 24 Symposium (Proceedings) N2 - This paper describes experiences and results of experiments with several metallic dusts within the nanometer range. The nano dusts (aluminium, .iron, zinc, titanium and copper) were tested in a modified experimental Setup for the test apparatus 20-L sphere (also known as 20-L Siwek Chamber), that enables the test samples to be kept under inert atmospheric conditions nearly until ignition. This setup was already introduced in earlier papers by the authors. It was designed to allow the determination of safety characteristics of nano powders under most critical circumstances (e.g. minimisation of the influence of oxidation before the test itself). Furthermore the influence of passivation on explosion behaviour is investigated and additional tests with deposited dust were carried out to describe the burning behaviour of all dusts. For a better characterisation all samples were tested with a simultaneous thermal analysis (STA). To minimise the influence of oxidation all samples were handled at inert conditions until shortly before ignition or start of the test respectively.
