Abstract
Two low-level dust fires and explosions occurred in rotary dryers in one of E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Co.'s east Texas plants. Although there was no significant damage, the potential for safety or loss incidents initiated a concerted effort to determine the cause. The analytical and explosive hazards efforts showed an iron-adipic compound most probably autooxidized and caused the problem.
