Review
Based on recent research, this book gives the essential scientific background needed to judge the electrostatic hazards associated with powder handling, processing and storage, and to devise appropriate safety measures. The presentation, with minimum mathematical treatment, is such that the book can be used as a guide for practice as well as a text for study.

From the Publisher
Every year bulk handling of particulates results in dust explosions that cause fatalities and material losses. This monograph provides the essential background needed to judge the electrostatic hazards associated with powder handling, processing and storage and to derive appropriate safety measures. Early chapters explain the basics of charge phenomena. Following chapters describe the specific charge phenomena associated with powder handling, measurement techniques and ways to reduce risk of explosion.
