Measurement and Analysis on the Concentration of Dust of Various Diameters in a Foundry Workshop

Abstract:

The particle concentration distribution in the foundry is very important not only for the occupational health of foundry workers but also for creating green foundry industry. In this study, the authors measured the particle concentration distribution in a foundry workshop, and analysis the characteristics of foundry dust pollution with the consideration of total dust control in the recent foundry industry. The results show that the concentrations of PM10 and PM2.5 are high in the central and low in the ends of the workshop. It is about 54% of all test sites with higher concentration of PM10 and PM2.5 than the limit values of national standards. However, the PM4 concentrations of about 31% test sites are higher than limit of national standards. It is obviously that sandfilling process, cavity repair and sweeping in mold making process can produce a lot of dust. This study may provide guidance for the foundry pollution control engineering and workshop operation management system.
