Ezplosion Risk Management of ABS Powder Processes
ABS (Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene terpolymer) is a kind of widely used engineering resin. Several ABS powder explosions occurred in China. The reasons of historical explosions were analyzed. The process of a typical ABS plant was introduced. Historical accidents show that, spontaneous ignition is the main reason of fire and explosion in ABS fluid bed dryer. By means of regular cleaning of ABS dryer, explosion in the dryer can be avoided. The explosion characteristics of ABS powder were measured. The effect of particle size on minimum ignition energy (MIE) was investigated. It is suggested that to handle fine powder collected by dust collectors separately to minimize the possibility of ignition. Different risk management solutions of ABS processes in China were discussed and further research objectives were proposed.
