This study investigated the inhibitory effect and mechanism of modified ultrafine ABC powder on the explosion of a methane (CH₄)/coal dust mixed system. Through experiments, it was found that the addition of ABC powder significantly weakened the deflagration characteristics of the CH₄/coal dust mixture system. During decomposition, heat was absorbed to generate ammonia and phosphoric acid. Inert gases such as CO₂ and water vapor produced during decomposition could dilute the oxygen concentration. Phosphate ions produced during the decomposition of ammonium phosphate would bind with free radicals during combustion, reducing their reactivity. The explosion reaction was suppressed through a dual mechanism of physical cooling and chemical consumption of free radicals. The experimental results showed that the weight loss rate of modified ABC powder was 49% at 800 °C, while the weight loss rate of unmodified ABC powder was 78%. The modified ABC powder had better thermal stability and could absorb more heat at high temperatures, further suppressing explosive reactions. This study provides a new modification scheme for explosion suppressants for coal mine safety, which has important theoretical and practical application value.
