Abstract
The dynamic wetting behavior of droplets impacting the coal surface directly affects the efficient application of water-based dust suppression materials in coal-related industrial production. In this paper, ultrapure water, Tween-80, and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose are taken as the research objects. Using high-speed photography technology, the spreading, oscillation process, and splash morphology of many kinds of droplets during impacting the coal surface are captured. The effects of viscosity, surface tension, and impact velocity on dynamic wetting characteristics were studied. The results show that with the decrease of surface tension, the retraction and oscillation of droplets are significantly reduced. For the same kind of droplets, the greater the impact velocity, the faster the droplet spread, and the dimensionless maximum spreading coefficient (βmax) and dimensionless steady-state spreading coefficient (βe) of droplets are bigger. With the increase of velocity, the time for different kinds of droplets to reach the βmax increases. At the same impact velocity, βmax and βe of droplets (0.2% Tween-80 + 0.1% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose) are the largest, indicating that adding a small amount of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose can promote droplet spreading. With the increase of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose content, βmax and βe decreased gradually. The results have a great significance to the research, development, and scientific utilization of water-soluble polymer dust inhibitors.

Traditional bonded dust suppressants have high viscosity, insufficient fluidity and poor permeability problems, which is adverse to the formation of a continuous and stable solidified layer of dust suppressant solution on the surface of a dust pile. Gemini surfactant has efficient wetting performance and environmental protection performance, it is introduced as a wetting component to improve the flow and penetration performance of bonded dust suppressant solution, polymer absorbent resin (SAP) and sodium carboxymethyl starch (CMS) were selected as the main components of dust suppressant. A proportioning optimization model was constructed based on response surface methodology (RSM), and the concentration of each dust suppression component was selected as the independent variable, water loss rate, moisture retention rate, wind erosion rate and solution viscosity were chosen as the dependent variables in this model. The optimal formulation of the improved bonded dust suppressant was obtained by analyzing the laboratory experiments and field tests data. The results show that the effective time (≥15d) of the newly developed dust suppressant is 45 times longer than that of pure water (≈1/3d), and 1.875 times longer than that of the comparative dust suppressant (8d), the comprehensive cost is 27.36% lower than that of the similar dust suppressant product for mining enterprises.Implications: This paper presents the research idea of optimizing the bonded dust suppressant based on the improvement of wetting performance. And the paper used response surface method to obtain a wetting and bonding composite dust suppressant formulation. The field test shows that the dust suppressant has good dust suppression performance and economic benefits. This study laid the foundation for the development of new and efficient dust suppressants, and had important theoretical and application values for reducing dust environmental hazards and preventing occupational diseases.

Abstract
Dust pollution in open-pit coal mines severely restricts the green development of mines. Therefore, dust control has become an important requirement for the sustainable development of the mining industry. With the goal of dust pollution prevention and control in open-pit coal mines, this paper puts forward the concept of a non-disturbance area of an open-pit coal mine. It clarifies the characteristics of dust generation, the coverage area, and the dust particle size distribution characteristics of the non-disturbance area. Taking the dust control at the dump site as an example, the study comprehensively utilizes indoor tests and field tests to develop a dust suppressant for the dump site and determine its dust suppression efficiency and effective service cycle. The results show that the D10, D50, and D90 particle sizes of dust in the non-disturbance area are smaller than those in the disturbance area, and the difference in particle size of D90 is the most obvious. Gelatinized starch and non-ionic polyacrylamide, as the main components of the dust suppressant, can effectively reduce dust pollution in the dump; the optimal concentration is 1.0%, and the dust suppression service cycle is more than one month. The developed dust suppressant does not contain corrosive, toxic, or heavy metal elements. Although the application of a dust suppressant will cause plant growth to lag, it does not affect plant health. The research findings serve as a reference for the zoning treatment of dust in open-pit mines.

Abstract
The impact airflow generated by ore unloading in the chute raises the dust carried by the ore itself and the floating dust, and then, the dust raised enters the roadway with the airflow and pollutes the environment. In order to minimize the amount of dust entering the roadway and reduce the pollution of unloading dust, we conducted an experimental study of selection of best foam formula and pre-injection foam dust dedusting technology in ore bin. It was found that the optimal foaming formula was 1.0% sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS) + 0.5% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) + (0.2 ~ 0.4%) sodium carboxymethyl cellulose CMC-Na and coconut oil monoethanolamide (CMEA) by the compound experiment using two evaluation criteria of initial foaming amount and foam defoaming rate. When the air pressure is 0.7 MPa, the foaming rate of the foam generator is proportional to the gas and liquid flow rate and the best foaming gas and liquid flow ratio is 27.8. Under this circumstance, the foaming rate of the foaming formula is 500 l/min. When the height of foam is controlled at 15 cm, the effect of foam dust removal is the best. The dust emission rate from the foam to the fourth level can reach 60%, and the dust fall rate of the third level is 28%, which effectively reduces the dust production and relieves the pressure of the spray hole dust fall at the wellhead.

Abstract
Coal mine pollution is a serious threat to the mine safe production and occupational health of miners. Chemical dust suppression can effectively reduce the concentration of coal dust and suppress the re-entrainment of dust. This paper discusses the research progress of three kinds of traditional dust suppressants: the wetting-type, cohesive type, and condensed type. In order to meet dust suppression and environmental protection requirements, 7 kinds of new type dust suppressants, such as compound, ecological environmental protection, polymer, functional, microbes, and enzymes, have been developed by the predecessors. And all kinds of dust suppressant mechanism and main performance index have been summarized. Through the analysis of the research results from 1985 to 2021, it is found that the compound and environment-friendly dust suppressants have gradually become the research focus in this field, accounting for 17.93% and 26.21% of the total number of achievements. In the recent 5 years, new materials, such as microbe suppressant, urease suppressant, and nanomaterials, have gradually emerged. Because of their natural and environmental protection characteristics, it could be predicted that they will become the future development trend in this field. However, there are still some problems to be improved, such as expensive price and complex preparation technology.

Abstract
Aiming at the problem of low efficiency of capturing respirable and hydrophobic dust in water mist dust removal technology, a chemical dust suppression method is adopted. Based on the research idea of improving the wetting efficiency of water mist, prolonging the droplet retention time, and improving the contact opportunity with dust, the experiments of dust sedimentation time, solution spreading area, and water loss rate are selected to evaluate the wetting efficiency and anti-evaporation performance of dust suppression water mist. Considering the special double-chain structure of the Gemini surfactant and its high wettability, it is preferred as the main dust suppression component. Based on the indoor experimental data, the optimized formula of the composite wet water mist dust suppressant was obtained by CCD-RSM(central composite design-response surface methodology). The comparison of indoor experimental data shows that the sedimentation time of the dust sample in the water mist dust suppressant is 5.0 times faster than that of pure water, the spreading area of the dust suppressant solution is 1.8 times that of pure water, and the water loss rate of the dust sample treated by the dust suppressant is 70% that of pure water. The field investigation results show that compared with pure water mist, the dust removal rates of the Gemini wetting dust suppressant for respirable dust and total dust are 90.3 and 71.1%, respectively, which are 10.5 and 22.5% higher than that of pure water mist. It can be proved that improving the wetting efficiency and anti-evaporation performance of spray mist will increase the dust removal efficiency.

Abstract
To reduce the environmental pollution caused by coal dust, a new type of dust inhibitor with a wide application range, high efficiency, and production simplicity was synthesized by modifying sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC-Na) with acrylamide (AM). Through molecular dynamics simulations and experiments, the surfactant composition and concentration were optimized. The experimental results showed that the graft copolymer of CMC-Na and AM (CMC-Na-co-AM) had more pores on the microscopic surface and a unique fiber network structure, which greatly increased its contact area with coal dust. After 14 h of drying at 60 °C, coal samples that were sprayed with the dust suppression agent retained >50% of the water in the spray, which was 9 times greater than the water retention of coal samples sprayed with just water. Additionally, the ability of the dust suppression agent to resist wind erosion was 6 times that of water. The CMC-Na-co-AM dust suppression agent showed that it could effectively inhibit the spread of coal dust under strong winds, offering a solution to the problem of coal dust pollution in coal production and storage.

Abstract
The water wettability of coal dust was very important for dust control when using water-based dust suppressant materials. The coal dust wettability strengthened by surface active ionic liquid was studied in this paper. The surface activity of ten ionic liquids with different anions Cl-, Br-, [BF4]-, [NTf2]- and cations [HOEtMIm]+, [Cnmim]+ (n = 4, 12, 14, 16) was studied by surface tension test. The water wettability of raw coal dust can be improved individually by adding ionic liquid to water or pre-treating coal dust by ionic liquids. The wettability of lignite was improved little, but that of bituminous coal and anthracite were improved much. The dual strengthened effects of ionic liquids on coal dust wettability were studied by the wetting results between ionic liquids solutions and ionic liquid-treated coal samples. The wettability of lignite can be strengthened under the combined action of [HOEtMIm][NTf2] and [C12MIm]Br, while other dual effects were not satisfactory. All ionic liquids combination had strengthened effects on the wettability of bituminous coal and anthracite, especially the [C12MIm]Br treatment and [C12MIm]Br solutions together had the best dual effects. The functional groups results indicated that the hydrophilic oxygen-containing functional groups in treated coal samples increased, the hydrophobic aliphatic hydrocarbon functional groups decreased and part of ionic liquids were adsorbed on the coal surface. These changes together enhanced the wettability of coal with high coalification degrees.

Abstract
To improve the efficiency of coal dust removal by water spray technology, the addition of wetting agents in water becomes the main dust removal method. The influence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), sodium dodecyl sulfonate (SDDS), and sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS) on the wettability of coal dust is studied by experimental and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. Measurement of the contact angle and surface tension was accomplished via relevant experiments for the three wetting agents, and their adhesion work, spreading work, and wetting work were also calculated. A preferred experimental method of conventional coal dust wetting agent is optimized. The wettability of the three wetting agents upon bituminous coal follows the trend: SDS > SDDS > SDBS. The simulation was performed based on MD to derive the intermolecular interaction energy, diffusion coefficient of water molecules, and water molecule count in the vicinity of the hydrophilic groups of the wetting agents. The wetting mechanism and performance of the wetting agent solution on bituminous coal were identified. The simulation results of the wetting performance of the wetting agents are consistent with the experimental results, which verifies the reliability of the simulation method. An easy, time-saving, and labor-saving MD simulation method is proposed, which provides a novel insight for choosing various wetting agents of coal dust.

Abstract
To mitigate environmental pollution caused by the escape of dust during coal storage and transportation, humic acid (HA) and grafted acrylamide (AM) were used as raw materials to prepare a composite dust suppressant suitable for coal storage and transportation. Single-factor experiments were used to explore the optimal synthesis conditions of the dust suppressant, and the microstructure of the product was studied using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and other methods. The wetting effect of the dust suppressant on coal was also investigated by way of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The experimental results showed that the dust suppressant had good wind erosion resistance (wind erosion rate 10.2%), shock resistance (loss rate 3.63%), and anti-evaporation performance, while the MD simulation and permeability analysis results showed that the dust suppressant had an excellent wetting effect on the coal surface. SEM images revealed that the dust suppressant can fill the gaps between coal dust particles and bond them together to form a consolidated layer, thereby effectively inhibiting the escape of dust sources during coal storage and transportation.

Abstract
In order to solve the problem of road dust pollution, an ecological dust suppressant for road surfaces has been developed using monomer, orthogonal, and optimization experiments and based on the dust raising mechanism. A humectant, hygroscopic agent, coagulant and surfactant and their concentration ranges have been determined through monomer experiment. The preliminary formula of the dust suppressant has been obtained through orthogonal experiment, with the water loss rate, moisture content rate, viscosity value, and surface tension value serving as experimental indexes. The optimal formula for the dust suppressor has been calculated through an optimization experiment, with the toxicity, moisture absorption and retention performance of plants, and the relative damage rate of plant seeds serving as experimental indexes. Based on the performance characterization of ecological road dust suppressant, the ecologically and environmentally friendly dust suppressant demonstrates fine moisture absorption and retention performance, good wind and rain erosion resistance, and no toxicity. The ecological road dust suppressant developed herein covers extensive raw material sources. It is ecologically and environmentally friendly, fit for most urban roads, and has a fine dust suppression effect. Meanwhile, it also can bring in good economic and social benefits, demonstrating its broad application prospects.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2021; 295:113139.

Abstract
Hydrogen bonding interactions among poly vinyl alcohol (PVA), xanthan gum (XG) and acrylic acid (AA) molecules have been utilized to prepare an environment-friendly interpenetrating double-network hydrogel dust suppressant (PVA-XG-PAA/SDBS) with the aim of enhancing the poor mechanical performance of current hydrogel dust suppressants. A single factor test was used to determine the optimal formulation conditions for the PVA-XG-PAA/SDBS, and the viscosity, surface tension, compression strength, wind resistance, water retention and biodegradability of the samples were measured. The results showed that the hydrogel with optimal usage contained 1.5 g, 0.1 g, and 6 g of PVA, XG and AA, respectively and the optimal reaction temperature was 55 °C. Under the optimal conditions, the viscosity was 45 mPa s, the surface tension was 30 mN/m, the compression strength of the dust suppressant-solidified coal pillar reached 126 kPa, and the degradation rate at the 8th cycle (40 days) after being buried in soil was 34%. Compared with a conventional hydrogel dust suppressant, like poly acrylic acid (PAA), and the dust suppressant sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS), the PVA-XG-PAA/SDBS showed better water retention, wind erosion resistance, and dust-solidifying properties. On the basis of these remarkable properties, the PVA-XG-PAA/SDBS is applicable for dust prevention during coal mining, transport, and storage, which enhances the dust suppression efficiency obviously and has significant meaning to the sustainable development of the coal mining industry while protecting the environment.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2021; 412:125223. [PMID: 33951863 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2021.125223] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2020] [Revised: 01/21/2021] [Accepted: 01/22/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Molecular dynamics simulation combined with experimental methods were used to investigate the adsorption and wetting process of 25 lauryl glucoside (APG-12) molecules on coal molecules and in turn study the dust suppression mechanism by APG-12 at the molecular level. Through wetting experiments, our preliminary findings showed that APG-12 does have a certain wetting effect on coal dust. According to density functional theory in molecular dynamics simulations, the electrostatic potential and surface charge of the APG-12 and coal molecular models were analyzed to identify their nucleophilic and electrophilic regions, and illustrate the hydrogen bond adsorption mechanism. The dynamics simulation results showed that APG-12 molecules can be easily adsorbed on the surface of coal molecules and then adsorb water molecules around them under the action of hydrogen bonds. This was consistent with the results of an analysis of the system's radial distribution function and the relative concentration distribution of each component in the Z-axis direction. The results are in good agreement with the experimental results from scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectrometer analysis. These data provide further evidence that APG-12 can clearly improve the wettability and suppression of coal dust, which is of great importance for controlling coal dust pollution.

Abstract
Aimed at effectively controlling coal dust pollution in the mining face of a coal mine, this study first conducted a theoretical analysis and then combined a spraying experiment and a numerical simulation to perform an in-depth examination of the atomizing characteristics and dust suppression performance of a coal cutter external spraying device. Based on the experimental spraying results, the optimal nozzle was determined to be a pressure round-mouth nozzle with an X-shaped core. The characteristics of the spray fields from nozzles of different calibers (1.6, 2.0 and 2.4 mm) at different spraying pressures (2, 4, 6 and 8 MPa) were then analyzed. It was found that the droplet concentration in the spray field increased with increasing spraying pressure and nozzle caliber. The droplet diameter was mainly dependent on the spraying pressure and varied more slowly with increased spraying pressure. At a spraying pressure of 8 MPa, the spray field formed could achieve effective dust suppression; specifically, the droplet concentration in the spray field was mostly more than 15 g/m3, and the droplet size was mainly distributed in the range of 30-100 μm. When using a 2.4 mm caliber nozzle, the dust concentration measured around the coal cutter operator was reduced to 87.21 mg/m3 under a spraying pressure of 8 MPa, suggesting adequate dust suppression.
