Technology development for the production of ABCE fire extinguishing dry powders

A classification of fires depending on combustible material and fire extinguishing means was considered. Advantages offered by fire extinguishing dry powders were described. It was shown that multifunctional ABCE fire extinguishing dry powders mainly consist of ammonium phosphates (mono- and diammonium phosphate and ammophos). Based on the literature and patent review, the technology development for the production of ABCE fire extinguishing dry powders was analyzed and summarized. Possible future directions in the technology development for the production of fire extinguishing dry powders based on ammonium phosphates were explored.
