𝐂𝐨𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐟𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭‑𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦 𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠. 🔥   Research published in Fire Safety Journal, conducted with the The University of Sheffield, shows that slaked lime and dolime suppress fires differently from water. Applied as slurries, they form a thermally stable mineral layer that limits oxygen access and reduces re‑ignition risk.   In practice, this matters because these solutions are: 🔹Effective for coal and biomass fires 🔹Relevant for reactive sulfide materials such as pyrrhotite 🔹Non‑toxic, PFAS‑free, and non‑flammable 🔹Leaving chemically stable, inert residues 🛠️ For operators managing stockpiles, tailings, or legacy fire risks, this reframes slaked lime and dolime as reliable fire‑inhibition materials, grounded in mineral chemistry and operational experience. 📄 𝘍𝘪𝘳𝘦 𝘚𝘢𝘧𝘦𝘵𝘺 𝘑𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘭: https://lnkd.in/dwX_nm-g
