Steeping liquor used as a means of controlling the risk of fire and explosion of organic extractive materials

[0099]The tests comprised:[0100]a monitoring of progression of particle size, water content and apparent density of a control stock of treated materials situated on the right-of-way of the bulk terminal of the Port of South of France at Sète, over the period July-September 2008, by CEBTP / SOLEN of Montpellier, then by the inventor from October 2008 to July 2009 regarding the monitoring of temperatures, in order to ensure representative external conditions (the control stock representing a mass of approximately 50 t);[0101]an optimization study enabling specification of the progression of the percentage of smalls and the apparent density by varying the percentage of the composition tested in a mixture diluted with water, then by varying the percentage of this mixture, referred to as dosage, relative to the quantity of treated material.

[0102]The progression monitoring focused more particularly on:[0103]the water content;[0104]the density;[0105]the particle size.
