Synthesis of Coal Dust Depressor and its Application in Preventing Coal Dust

Abstract:

A novel coal dust depressor was prepared by alkalization and etherficayion reactions using wastepaper as raw material. The sample was characterized by means of FTIR spectroscopy (FTIR)、scanning electron microscopy (SEM)、X-ray diffraction (XRF) and viscometer measurements. The coal dust inhibitor was developed to suppress flying dust over coal dump and conveyor. The result shows that flying coal dust was prevented by intrinsic viscosity of coal dust depressor which was sprayed on the surface stock pile can make the surface material bond with each other to form layer of crust, having a role of dust prevention. Application of the coal dust depressor can reduce the losses of coal and protect the environment from being polluted.
