Don't need nitrates, the dust is so fine that it burns rapidly. As we used to say at the rocket engine test site: the difference between a successful firing and an explosive destruction is time the event took. An explosion is a really fast event fire

Take some wood sanding dust from a 100 grit and light it. It kinda explodes.
