EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF BULK STORAGE IGNITION BY HOT POINTS

Experimental Study of Bulk Storage Ignition by Hot Points

An experimental study of ignition risk due to hot points in the storage of bulk materials is required to ensure fire safety.Many parameters are involved in this phenomenon: nature of the material, storage volume and temperature, type and size of hot point, etc.The aim of this study is to determine critical ignition temperatures of hot spots embedde

Multi-methodological characterisation of Costa Rican biochars from small-scale retort and top-lit updraft stoves and inter-methodological comparison

We applied common (pH, elemental analysis, thermogravimetry) and less-common (infrared spectroscopy, GACS adsorption test, pyrolysis-GC-MS, hydrogen pyrolysis) analytical procedures to a set of biochars from Costa Rica (bamboo stalk, cacao chaff, sawmill scrap, coconut husk and orchard prunings feedstocks).The biochars were produced by high tempera
