Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Dust and hybrid mixture explosions represent an often underrated hazard in many industrial technologies with presence of combustible dusts, flammable gases or vapors. The dust and hybrid mixture explosion accompanied by a rapid pressure increase in a confined environment present a very serious process safety hazard. Statistics show that despite the validity of legal regulations, explosions of industrial combustible dusts or hybrid mixtures of air and flammable gases or vapors still occur very frequently in industry even nowadays. This special issue addresses the fundamental mechanisms, experimental analysis, modeling approaches, and mitigation strategies related to dust and hybrid mixture explosion phenomena. Manuscripts will address industry case studies related to combustible dust and hybrid mixture explosions, the implementation of applicable legal standards and enlightenment resulting from recent industrial incidents to improve safety in technological processes. Published manuscripts are expected to support a deeper understanding of the physical processes and chemical reactions of industry dust or hybrid mixture combustions and contribute to the protection of the health and lives of workers and of the property in industrial technologies. This special issue creates an important space for connecting knowledge and information between academia, research institutions, and the field of industrial practice.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
