Abstract:

In order to enhance the dust suppression effectiveness of dust suppressants, the wettability of dust from blast piles in open-pit mines and their influencing factors were investigated. The coal dust and rock dust generated from different blasting stages at the Ha'erwusu open-pit coal mine were taken as research objects. Various methods, including indoor experiments and statistical data analysis, were employed to analyze the physicochemical characteristics of explosive dust particles from open-pit coal mines. Based on this analysis, the relationship between physicochemical characteristics and wettability was discussed. Regression analysis using SPSS software was conducted to establish a regression model. The final regression equation revealed the primary factors influencing the wettability of dust from blast piles in open-pit coal mines. The results indicate that the significant factors influencing the wettability of coal dust are fixed carbon content and D50. The significant factor affecting the wettability of rock dust is D50.

Key words: open-pit coal mine, dust from blast piles, wettability of dust, influencing factors, dust control
