Influence of coal properties on dust suppression effect of biological dust suppressant

In order to study the effect and influencing factors of biological dust suppressant on secondary dust of coal dust, the biological dust suppressant was prepared with bacillus pasteurii and 0.6 mol/L urea-CaCl2 solution. The experimental result shows that the yield of mineralized products of CC is the highest, reaching 81.11%, in bonding solutions with different calcium source and different concentration. For 5.0 g coal dust, 8 mL is the suitable spraying amount of bacteria solution and bonding solution. Biological dust suppressant has the best secondary dust suppression effect on coal dust with particle size above 200 mu m. Moreover, it has the strongest effect on inhibiting secondary dust emission of lignite, and the weight loss rate of coal dust about 200 mu m is only 0.84%. At the same time, the proportion of calcite crystals with the strongest thermal stability in mineralized products produced by MICP is higher. When the coalification degree of coal is lower, the effect of biological dust suppressant on secondary dust emission is better. (C) 2021 The Society of Powder Technology Japan.

Automated summary

This study investigates the effect and influencing factors of a biological dust suppressant on secondary dust generated by coal dust. The experimental results show that the biological dust suppressant has the best effect on suppressing secondary dust from coal dust with particle size above 200 μm, particularly for lignite.
