Therefore, it is necessary to understand the dust explosion characteristics of energetic materials and the mechanism of dust explosion. According to the literature review, among various influencing factors, the physical and chemical properties of dust are the decisive factors affecting the explosion characteristics of dust. In addition to experimental studies, numerical simulation is another important tool. However, it is subjected to certain limitations. Moreover, it is essential but challenging to fully understand the underlying mechanism. In addition, given the safety hazards posed by dust explosion, explosion suppression has attracted extensive attention for research. Depending on the medium used, there are different forms of suppression, including powder explosion suppression, water spray explosion suppression, inert gas explosion suppression, porous material explosion suppression, and vacuum chamber explosion suppression. As for the selection of explosion suppression agent, consideration must be given to the characteristics of the material. Furthermore, the above research has laid a foundation for discussing the future progress in studying dust explosion of energetic materials, with nano dust and the constraints of existing technology as the focal point.展开更多
