Abstract:The suppression effects of pure ultrafine water mist and 5% mass fraction alkali metal (NaCl, Na2CO3, KHCO3, KCl and K2CO3) solutions ultrafine water mist on methane explosion were conducted under five mist concentrations in a sealed visual vessel. Mist diameters of different additive solutions were measured by a phase doppler particle analyzer. Pressure data and dynamic flame pictures were recorded respectively by a high frequency pressure sensor and a high-speed camera. Results indicate that alkali metal compound can enhance the suppression effect of ultrafine water mist and it was related to the additive type. The suppression order of alkali metal compound for methane explosion was K2CO3 > KCl > KHCO3 > Na2CO3 > NaCI. Meanwhile, additive radicals can obviously affect explosion intensity and it mainly reflected in the reduction of explosion pressure under different mist conditions (K+ > Na+, Cl- > HCO3-). The pressure generated from combustion wave accelerating propagation underwent two accelerating rises and was affected by additive type and mist amount. The effect of additive type on explosion intensity (maximum explosion overpressure (Delta P-max), two peak values of pressure rising rate) was similar with flame propagation velocity and were decreased evidently with increasing mist concentration. The enhancement in explosion suppression was due to the combination of improved physical and chemical effects.
