Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
For all kinds of industries, their safe operation is very important. However, in many areas of industry there are flammable industrial dusts that, due to their physical and chemical properties and fire and explosion parameters, can, under certain precisely defined conditions, disrupt the safety of the given technology and cause an explosion. Dust explosions can happen not only in factories but also in grain silos and even homes. Any place where fine particles of flammable dust are present and can become airborne is at risk of explosion. The resulting explosion can cause extensive damage due to the rapid expansion of gases and the subsequent pressure wave. The scientific principles essential for combustible dust explosions include the detailed breakdown of the combustion process and the factors that influence dust explosions.
For this reason, it is very important for every industrial operation to know the explosion parameters of the dust that occurs during the production or processing of the material in the given technology and to ensure its protection against the explosion of combustible dust in advance.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Fire is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
