Die Verwendung pyrotechnischer Gegenstände in Menschenmengen (u. a. in Fußballstadien) hat in den letzten Jahren stark zugenommen. Zur Verwendung gelangen vorrangig sonstige pyrotechnische Gegenstände der Kategorie P1. Diese Gegenstände sind frei verkäuflich für Personen ab einem Alter von 18 Jahren. Am häufigsten werden pyrotechnische Gegenstände verwendet, die Rauch und Licht in verschiedenen Farben erzeugen.
Das polnische Bergbauinstitut GIG richtet alle zwei Jahre eine Fachtagung mit dem Thema „Sicherheit bei Sprengarbeiten“ im kleinen Bergstädtchen Ustroń (Polen) aus. Die Tagung hat eine internationale Ausrichtung und bietet Vorträge und Themen sowohl in englischer als auch polnischer Sprache. Es werden Ergebnisse anwendungsorientierter Forschung sowie aus der Praxis der Sprengarbeit vorgestellt. Teilnehmer und Beiträge kommen sowohl von großen Bergbaubetrieben und in Polen tätigen Herstellern als auch von Instituten und Behörden. Im Jahr 2018 war auch die BAM vertreten und der Autor möchte hiermit von den vielfältigen Themen berichten. Es gibt eine gewisse Ähnlichkeit zu der jährlich in Siegen stattfindenden „Informationstagung Sprengtechnik“ des Deutschen Sprengverbandes, wobei bisher wenig inhaltlicher Austausch stattfindet.
There is no applicable existing standard for the determination of safety characteristics for hybrid mixtures. While developing a new standard in a joint research project in Germany first results from parameter studies led to a standard procedure that can be adopted by laboratories that are already testing dusts in the so called 20L-sphere with as little additional effort as necessary. In fact, one of the main objectives of this research project was to keep modifications and adjustments from the generally accepted dust testing procedures as easy and minimal as possible so as to limit potential deviations from one laboratory to another.
In this first round robin test on hybrid mixtures ever, with methane as gas component and a specific corn starch as dust sample, the practicality of the whole procedure, the scattering of the results and the deviation between the testing apparatuses is investigated. This paper summarizes the experimental procedure adopted and objectives of the first round-robin phase involving three of the four original German companies, plus volunteering laboratories from Australia, Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Poland and P.R. China. The results will have an impact on the new standard and may lead to robust data for later simulation purposes.
The mixture of ammonium nitrate (AN) prills and fuel oil (FO), usually called ANFO, is extensively used in the mining industry as a bulk industrial explosive. One of the major performance predictors of ANFO mixtures is the fuel oil retention, which is itself governed by the porosity of the AN prills. Standardised tests routinely used to assess oil retention face several important limitations; the first being the difficulty to cover the wide range of porosity contents and morphologies from different types of ammonium nitrate prills; the second being the inability to evaluate the closed porosity, which is an important factor regarding the sensitivity of the explosive to detonation. In this study, we present how X-ray computed tomography (XCT), and the associated advanced data processing workflow, can be used to fully characterise the structure and morphology of AN prills. We show that structural parameters such as volume fraction of the different phases and morphological parameters such as specific surface area and shape factor can be reliably extracted from the XCT data, and that there is a good agreement with the measured oil retention values. XCT can therefore be employed to non-destructively and accurately evaluate and characterise porosity in ammonium nitrate prills.
For hazard assessment purposes, the dispersion of gases in complex urban areas is often a scenario to be considered. However, predicting the dispersion of heavy gases is still a challenge. In Germany, the VDI Guideline 3783, Part 1 and 2 is widely used for gas dispersion modelling. Whilst Part 1 uses a gauss model for calculating the dispersion of light or neutrally buoyant gases, Part 2 uses wind tunnel experiments to evaluate the heavier-than-air gas dispersion in generic built up areas. In practice, with this guideline, it is often not possible to adequately represent the existing obstacle configuration. To overcome this limitation, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods could be used. Whilst CFD models can represent obstacles in the dispersion area correctly, actual publications show that there is still further research needed to simulate the atmospheric flow and the heavy gas dispersion. This paper presents a modified k-ε-turbulence model that was developed in OpenFOAM v5.0 (England, London, The OpenFOAM Foundation Ltd Incorporated) to enhance the simulation of the atmospheric wind field and the heavy gas dispersion in built-up areas. Wind tunnel measurements for the dispersion of neutrally buoyant and heavy gases in built-up environments were used to evaluate the model. As a result, requirements for the simulation of the gas dispersion under atmospheric conditions have been identified and the model showed an overall good performance in predicting the experimental values.
Safety characteristics are used to keep processes, including flammable gases, vapors, and combustible dusts, safe. In the standards for the determination of safety characteristics of gases and vapors, the induction spark is commonly used. However, classic transformers are hard to obtain, and replacement with new electronic transformers is not explicitly allowed in the standards. This article presents the investigation of five gases that are normally used to calibrate devices for the determination of safety characteristics, the maximum experimental safe gap (MESG), with an electronic transformer, and the values are compared to the ones that are obtained with the standard transformer. Additionally, calorimetric measurements on the net energy of both ignition sources were performed as well as open-circuit voltage measurements. It is concluded that the classic type of transformer can be replaced by the new type obtaining the same results for the MESG and introducing the same amount of energy into the system.
The hybrid mixture of combustible dusts and flammable gases/vapours widely exist in various industries, including mining, petrochemical, metallurgical, textile and pharmaceutical. It may pose a higher explosion risk than gas/vapor or dust/mist explosions since the hybrid explosions can still be initiated even though both the gas and the dust concentration are lower than their lower explosion limit (LEL) values. Understanding the explosion threat of hybrid mixtures not only contributes to the inherent safety and sustainability of industrial process design, but promotes the efficiency of loss prevention and mitigation. To date, however, there is no test standard with reliable explosion criteria available to determine the safety parameters of all types of hybrid mixture explosions, nor the flame propagation and quenching mechanism or theoretical explanation behind these parameters. This review presents a state-of-the-art overview of the comprehensive understanding of hybrid mixture explosions mainly in an experimental study level; thereby, the main limitations and challenges to be faced are explored. The discussed main contents include the experimental measurement for the safety parameters of hybrid mixtures (i.e., explosion sensitivity and severity parameters) via typical test apparatuses, explosion regime and criterion of hybrid mixtures, the detailed flame propagation/quenching characteristics behind the explosion severities/sensitivities of hybrid mixtures. This work aims to summarize the essential basics of experimental studies, and to provide the perspectives based on the current research gaps to understand the explosion hazards of hybrid mixtures in-depth.
Every technical system has a failure rate, including a lithium-ion battery. To minimize the effects in the event of a thermal runaway, it is necessary to know what consequences to expect. In the talk, current results from tests on the thermal runaway behaviour of lithium-ion batteries will be presented and conclusions drawn for the handling of those.
Die Gewerbeaufsicht verfügte die sofortige Einstellung der Arbeiten auf einer Baustelle, auf der Asbestabfall offen gelagert wurde, keiner der weisungsbefugten Sachkundigen vor Ort war und Mitarbeiter keine persönliche Schutzausrüstung trugen. Dieser Aufsatz bereitet das Gerichtsurteil über die Klage des Bauunternehmens auf und diskutiert die konkreten Verstöße gegen die Gefahrstoffverordnung.
