Dust removal Technology | Applicable place | Advantage | Disadvantage | Dust removal rate | Invest |
Chemical dust suppressant | Mining face | Easy and Convenient | Corrosive, easy to cause pollution | 80% - 90% | Small |
Foam dust removal | Tunneling face | 1) Combining the advantages of spray dust suppression and chemical dust suppression 2) Has good wettability, adhesion, and coverage | 1) The foam is affected by downhole air currents 2) Chemical reagents corrode the nozzles, causing blockages | ≥70 | Small |
Active magnetized water for dust decrease | Mining face | 1) Lower the solution’s surface tension 2) Suppress Ca2+ and Fe2+ plasma corrosion on downhole equipment and increase the equipment’s service life | 1) High requirements for water quality and suspended solids should not be greater than 150 mg/L 2) Long magnetization time | 80% - 90% | Big |
Wind and fog double curtain | Tunneling face | The best treatment effect on respirable dust | When the dust concentration is high, it affects the vision | ≥90% | Small |
Ultrasonic atomization | Mining face | 1) The atomization effect is good; the particle size of the water mist is less than 10 μm 2) The water consumption is small, which is 1% of the water consumption of ordinary wet dust removal technology | 1) Affected by low temperature, it is easy to freeze at the nozzle and block the nozzle 2) Affected by wind and current, water mist is formed and dispersed, which is easy to cause secondary pollution | ≥80% | Small |
Biomembrane | Coal preparation plant | 1) Non-toxic and non-polluting to the human environment 2) Has an intelligent control system | High power and water consumption | ≥90% | Big |
Microbial dust suppression | Road, surface coal mine | Easily degradable, good biocompatibility | 1) The process of microbial action is slow 2) Microbial activity depends on the environment | 80% | Small |
