Smouldering Combustion of Combustible Natural Polymer Dust Layer

가연성 천연고분자 분체의 훈소에 관한 연구

This study measured the smouldering temperature of dust layer for various combustible natural polymer material by practical apparatus. The dust layer was either put on the preheated plate of constant temperature, or formed with cylinderical metal sleeve of various diameters and depths at room temperature and then heated up to a pre-determined smouldering temperature. Plots of arrival times versus smouldering temperature were made to compare the smouldering characteristics with kinds of dusts. The natural polymer material was divided into theree groups by characteristics of smouldering mechanism. This groups are cellulose group, lipide group and glucose group.
