Inhibition of Combustion and Explosion of Methane–Air Mixtures in the Presence of Coal Dust
Coal dust was shown to promote the combustion of methane–air mixtures, reducing the lower concentration limit of flame propagation and making combustion progressive (coal of different grades was used). An inhi...

Synergism of the Combined Action of Inhibitor and Inert Gas
The synergy phenomenon is known as a nonadditive effect of various additives on the reaction. This effect was earlier used mainly in liquid-phase reactions and was explained by the reactions of active impuriti...
