Dust explosions pose significant hazards in various industries, leading to severe incidents and economic losses. The objective of this study is to explore effective methods for moderating dust explosions through the use of solid inertants. We conducted a comprehensive literature review and experimental evaluations to assess the effectiveness of different inertant materials in preventing dust explosions. The results demonstrate that solid inertants can significantly decrease the explosibility of combustible dust by diluting fuel concentration and altering the combustion characteristics of the dust-air mixture. Furthermore, specific inertants were identified that not only provide superior explosion suppression capabilities but are also economically viable for industrial applications. This research contributes to the development of enhanced safety protocols and guidelines for industries dealing with combustible dust, emphasizing the importance of adopting appropriate explosion prevention strategies. The findings underscore the need for continuous research and implementation of effective explosion moderation techniques to ensure safety in process industries.
