From these diagrams, all factors related to the spray system and their cause and effect relationship can be seen clearly. Based on the built logic tree, several mathematical models and new ideas for expressing the dust suppressing efficiency in the spray system are put forward. The significance of all factors related to the efficiency of suppressing dust is qualitatively described. Furthermore, the new concepts, such as, the effective reaction time between dust particle and droplet, the expansion phenomenon of laden dust droplet, the functions of volatile and the relative size distribution efficiency of wetting agent are presented. All this richenes the existing mechanism of dust abatement by spraying wetting agent. At last, several problems that need to be further investigated are also suggested in the paper.展开更多

The article shows that in the spring and autumn periods the lignites can be subjected to repeated freezing-thawing and wetting-drying, which determines the possibility of changing their grain-size composition and structure. Experimental studies in laboratory conditions on the influence of cyclic freezing-thawing (FTC) and wetting-drying (WDC) on the quality indicators of lignites have been carried out, their granulometric (fractional) composition has been studied. Freezing-thawing cycle conditions are as follows (FTC): minimum exposure temperature: -20°C;maximum: +5°C;relative humidity: 30%;number of processing cycles: 3. Wetting-drying cycles are as follows (WDC): drying temperatures are +20, +40, +60, +80°C, drying time 90 minutes, the coals are further subjected to rain (soaking) for a period of water saturation to humidity of 30% - 40% and dry again. The number of wetting-drying cycles is 3 times. The tests have revealed the destructive effects of FTC and WDC on the samples of lower metamorphic grade coal, and the cycles of wet-dry lead to the much higher yield of fine sizes (-6+0;-13+0 mm) than the cycles of freeze-thaw. Furthermore, it is found that the increase in the yield of fines depends on the heating temperature: coal disintegration proceeds more intensively at a higher temperature of drying.展开更多

Therefore, preparation of an effective dust suppression agent is highly desired. To improve the capture efficiency of fine dust, this study examines the dust suppression effects of various combinations of wetting agents, additives, and coagulation agents by using the optimum seeking method to reduce mine dust, particularly respirable particles. The optimal formula is shown to contain 10wt% fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether(JFC), 4.96wt% cationic polyacrylamide, and 4wt% calcium chloride. The dust suppression effect can be achieved at 96.1% in 5 min by using the optimal formula.展开更多

Coal dust contact with water is actually a compound contact of liquid in contact with a solid and gas in contact with a solid. The smaller the particle size,the larger the pore volume and the higher the degree of surface roughness,the larger the area of gas in contact with a solid and the worse the coal dust wettability.Another reason is that the changes in the composition of atoms on the dust surface and structures affect coal dust wettability.The results of this study establish a theoretical basis for the invention of effective reduced-dust technology.展开更多

Firstly,the chemical compounds,dispersity,water content,bulk density and other relevant physico-chemical properties of the choiced dust of lead-zinc ore were mensurated.A great number of down-ward penetrating tests were conducted to different partical sizes of dust and to analyze the dust wetting behaviour respectively.The optimal compositions of wetting agents were obtained in accordance with different water contents and partical sizes of the dust after analyzing and statisting the achieved experimental data. The data show that the efficiency of chemical dust suppression of weting agents is much better than that of water.The results of the research work prove that the partical size and the water content of the dust are very important factors to the dust suppression.The results are also proved validly by the dropping experiment,which takes the penetrating diameter and penetrating time as the major factors.The superfine dust is much more difficult to be wetted.Since increasing the water content of dust is the best approach to control it,the choice of wetting agents for improving dispensation is significant.展开更多

The results show that when the solution temperature is about 20 ℃, all the selected wetting agents are effective to most dust samples, but the effect is different. Wetting agents are more effective to the dust which is difficult to be wetted. Wetting agent solution with sodium sulfate can improve the wetting ability of sulfide dust. For sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate, the suitable concentration of sodium sulfate is 12 mmol/L. The cost of wetting agents can be reduced because the sodium sulfate is much cheaper than many surfactants. Since the dust of sulfide ores is composed of various minerals and elements, the whole effect of depressing dust should be considered while innovating a wetting agent.展开更多

The results show that the dust removal efficiency of the previous system that had conventional water nozzles was only 69% with a liquid-gas ratio of 0.79 L/m^3 ,while the dust removal efficiency reached 94% when three sets of high-efficiency dual phase spray guns were installed inside both the flue and the chimney. For the latter system,the liquid-gas ratio was 0. 84 L/m^3 ,and the dust concentration in the cleaned emissions reduced to less than 40 mg/m^3.展开更多

This dust control is mandated by law as a minimum percent of the area of each individual wetting basin. Wetted surfaces are evaluated for area and degree of wetness using the shortwave infrared (SWIR) band of Landsat TM, or similar earth observation satellite sensor. The SWIR region appropriate for these measurements lies within the electromagnetic spectrum between about 1.5 and 1.8 μm wavelengths. A threshold value for Landsat TM5 band 5 reflectance of 0.19 was found to conform with surfaces having a threshold for adequate wetting at a nascent point where rapid drying would occur following loss of capillary connection with groundwater. This threshold is robust and requires no atmospheric correction for the effects of aerosol scatter and attenuation as long as the features on the image appear clear. Monthly monitoring of surface wetting has proven accurate, verifiable and repeatable using these methods. This threshold can be calibrated for any Earth observation satellite that records the appropriate SWIR region. The monitoring program is expected to provide major input for the final phase of the dust control program that will have a focus to conserve water and resources.展开更多

文摘After gas drainage,the outburst seam is dry and,consequently,during subsequent mechanized mining,unwanted dust production is extensive.Because the hard dustfall typically has a small particle size it contains a high percentage of respirable dust.Considering these factors,this paper improved the efficiency of dustfall by reducing the surface tension of the liquid used as a wetting agent,then configuring five kinds of wetting agents by adopting various doses and types of surfactants,neutral inorganic salts and chemical additives,etc.After purchasing DA-85 and SRJ-1 wetting agent,the surface tension and critical micelle concentration of seven kinds of wetting agents were measured using the capillary rise method.Wetting agent A was confirmed to have the best comprehensive effect.The experiments were optimized by measuring and comparatively analyzing contact angles of pure water,SRJ-1 wetting agent and wetting agent A on the surface of different coal samples using a contact angle measurement instrument(HARKESPCA).By comparative analysis,dust-proof effects of seam,dynamic pressure water infusion and highpressure spray in the tunneling face at the Daning coal mine using pure water,wetting agent SRJ-1and A,it was determined that after using wetting agent A,the average dust concentration in the place of the mining machine driver,10 m and 110 m away from the tunneling front is approximately 300 mg/m^3,240 mg/m^3 and 100 mg/m^3,respectively.This practice increased the dust-proof efficiency dramatically and achieved a good comprehensive dust-proof effect.

文摘The purpose of this project is to control the pollution of dust,which occurred in a typical lead-zinc mine.Two kinds of surfactants and water glass were chosen as the wetting agents to study the behaviours of suppressing the dust.The performances of the wetting agents of various sizes and water content of dust and their compositions among different weting agents were investigated. Firstly,the chemical compounds,dispersity,water content,bulk density and other relevant physico-chemical properties of the choiced dust of lead-zinc ore were mensurated.A great number of down-ward penetrating tests were conducted to different partical sizes of dust and to analyze the dust wetting behaviour respectively.The optimal compositions of wetting agents were obtained in accordance with different water contents and partical sizes of the dust after analyzing and statisting the achieved experimental data. The data show that the efficiency of chemical dust suppression of weting agents is much better than that of water.The results of the research work prove that the partical size and the water content of the dust are very important factors to the dust suppression.The results are also proved validly by the dropping experiment,which takes the penetrating diameter and penetrating time as the major factors.The superfine dust is much more difficult to be wetted.Since increasing the water content of dust is the best approach to control it,the choice of wetting agents for improving dispensation is significant.
文摘By using the experimental approach of dropping liquid, the coupling of three anionic wetting agents with ten dust samples of sulfide ores was studied, and particularly the wetting effects of the wetting agents on the sulfide dust influenced by factors of agent concentration and sulfate additive in the wetting agent solutions were investigated. The results show that when the solution temperature is about 20 ℃, all the selected wetting agents are effective to most dust samples, but the effect is different. Wetting agents are more effective to the dust which is difficult to be wetted. Wetting agent solution with sodium sulfate can improve the wetting ability of sulfide dust. For sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate, the suitable concentration of sodium sulfate is 12 mmol/L. The cost of wetting agents can be reduced because the sodium sulfate is much cheaper than many surfactants. Since the dust of sulfide ores is composed of various minerals and elements, the whole effect of depressing dust should be considered while innovating a wetting agent.

文摘A variety of dust control methods are often applied in coal mines,among which the application of wet scrubbers has proven to be an efficient technology for the removal of dust in airstreams,rather than diluting or confining the dust.In this paper,a wet scrubber design was developed.Based on a self-designed experimental test platform,the total dust concentration,respirable dust concentration,air volume,and average pressure drops of wet scrubbers with 12,16,20,and 24 blades were measured under different water intake conditions.The results show that the different water intake levels have only minimal effects on the air volume of the wet scrubbers.However,increased water intake had improved the dust removal efficiency of the wet scrubbers with the same number of blades.The wet scrubber with 16 blades was found to have the best dust removal efficiency at a water intake level of 1.35 m^(3)/h.Its total dust and respirable dust removal efficiency reached 96.81%and 95.59%,respectively.The air volume was 200.4 m^(3)/min,and the average pressure drop was determined to be 169.4 Pa.In addition,when the wet scrubber with 16 blades was applied in a coal preparation plant in China's Shanxi Province,it was observed that the total dust concentration had fallen below 8.1 mg/m^(3),and the respirable dust concentration had fallen below 5.9 mg/m^(3).Therefore,the results obtained in this research investigation provide important references for the use of wet scrubbers to improve coal production environmental conditions.
文摘Based on the analysis results of the dust size distribution of flue gas from Baosteel's short-flow (BSSF) slag processing system and the mechanism of the wet scrubber,a wet scrubber system was designed and installed in the No. 1 BSSF slag processing system at Baosteel. The results show that the dust removal efficiency of the previous system that had conventional water nozzles was only 69% with a liquid-gas ratio of 0.79 L/m^3 ,while the dust removal efficiency reached 94% when three sets of high-efficiency dual phase spray guns were installed inside both the flue and the chimney. For the latter system,the liquid-gas ratio was 0. 84 L/m^3 ,and the dust concentration in the cleaned emissions reduced to less than 40 mg/m^3.

文摘A copper-based non-aqueous-phase desulfurization agent is prepared by adding CuCl_(2) to the solvent N,Ndimethylformamide(DMF).Static desulfurization experiments show that the agent has high efficiency.However,the desulfurization reaction leads to the formation of a copper sulfide precipitate.It is found that the addition of chloride ions in the form of hydrochloric acid or potassium chloride prevents the formation of copper sulfide,and elemental sulfur is precipitated instead.The efficient absorption of H2S by the Cu/HCl–DMF agent relies on the rapid coordination of Cu^(2+)with DMF,Cl^(−),and H2S molecules to form a[Cu(DMF)_(n−p)(HS−)_(p)(Cl−)_(m)]_((2−p−m))+complex.The desulfurization agent has a sulfur capacity of up to 9.81 g/L when used in static bubble desulfurization at atmospheric pressure.The system has low viscosity and good chemical and thermal stability.It can be rapidly regenerated through continuous oxidation.After five repetitions of the regeneration procedure,the sulfur capacity reaches more than 91%of the initial capacity,indicating the potential of the system for commercial applications.
文摘Extensive dust control on the dry Owens Lake mainly uses constructed basins that are flooded with shallow depths of fresh water. This dust control is mandated by law as a minimum percent of the area of each individual wetting basin. Wetted surfaces are evaluated for area and degree of wetness using the shortwave infrared (SWIR) band of Landsat TM, or similar earth observation satellite sensor. The SWIR region appropriate for these measurements lies within the electromagnetic spectrum between about 1.5 and 1.8 μm wavelengths. A threshold value for Landsat TM5 band 5 reflectance of 0.19 was found to conform with surfaces having a threshold for adequate wetting at a nascent point where rapid drying would occur following loss of capillary connection with groundwater. This threshold is robust and requires no atmospheric correction for the effects of aerosol scatter and attenuation as long as the features on the image appear clear. Monthly monitoring of surface wetting has proven accurate, verifiable and repeatable using these methods. This threshold can be calibrated for any Earth observation satellite that records the appropriate SWIR region. The monitoring program is expected to provide major input for the final phase of the dust control program that will have a focus to conserve water and resources.

文摘Methods to remove dust deposits by high-speed airflow have significant potential applications,with optimal design of flow velocity being the core technology.In this paper,we discuss the wind speed required for particle removal from photovoltaic(PV)panels by compressed air by analyzing the force exerted on the dust deposited on inclined photovoltaic panels,which also included different electrification mechanisms of dust while it is in contact with the PV panel.The results show that the effect of the particle charging mechanism in the electric field generated by the PV panel is greatly smaller than the effect of the Van der Waals force and gravity,but the effect of the particle charged by the contact electrification mechanism in the electrostatic field is very pronounced.The wind speed required for dust removal from the PV panel increases linearly with the PV panel electric field,so we suggest that the nighttime,when the PV electric field is relatively small,would be more appropriate time for dust removal.The above results are of great scientific importance for accurately grasping the dust distribution law and for achieving scientific removal of dust on PV panels.

文摘The cyclone dust collector is an important subsystem of straw crushers used in agriculture.In the present study,a new type of dust collector with involute morphology is proposed to obtain better dust removal efficiency with respect to that of classical tangential and spiral dust collectors.A discrete phase model(DPM)method is used in synergy with a turbulence model,and the SIMPLE algorithm to simulate the flow field inside the dust collector and the related particle dynamics.It is shown that the internal flow field features a primary swirl,a secondary swirl and blockage effects.Moreover,for the involute dust collector,the tangential velocity in the initial stage and the pressure in the high-pressure area are larger than those obtained for the classical types.The dust removal efficiency is 37.11%,25.3%,and 16.37%for the involute type dust collector,the tangential type and the spiral type,respectively.
