Abstract:

To effectively apply micro-nano bubble water stemming in mining operations, this study investigated the key performance of micro-nano bubble water as the internal filling material in stemming for dust suppression and CO absorption. Experiments including surface tension measurement, contact angle analysis, spray dust suppression, and solution adsorption were conducted to examine the fundamental properties of micro-nano bubble water, such as wettability and oxidation capability, as well as its effectiveness in suppressing blasting dust and CO absorption efficiency. The results show that: compared with tap water, micro-nano bubble water exhibits lower surface tension and a smaller contact angle with coal, thereby enhancing the wettability of coal particles. With prolonged standing time, collapsed microbubbles generates abundant OH radicals, improving the catalytic oxidation performance of micro-nano bubble water. Micro-nano bubble water achieves higher dust suppression efficiency than tap water, reaching up to 62.27%, with a more pronounced effect on respirable dust. In addition, it significantly enhances CO absorption efficiency. As the circulation time of the micro-nano bubble generator increases, along with higher air intake and larger scrubbing water volume, the CO absorption efficiency gradually increases, though its growth rate first rises and then declines. Under optimal experimental conditions, the CO absorption efficiency of micro-nano bubble water reaches 64.27%.
