Abstract
The widespread adoption of trackless rubber-tyred vehicles in coal mines enhances production efficiency but exacerbates dust pollution in auxiliary haulage roadways, endangering workers' health. To effectively solve this problem, we developed a radial jet blowing–suction air curtain dust control technology. Through numerical simulations, the effects of the jet velocity and blowing duct arrangement on dust control performance were analyzed, identifying optimal dust control parameters: a 25 m/s jet velocity with a blowing duct at position B (0.8 m behind the side directly facing the suction duct). An experimental platform was established on the basis of similarity theory. Through smoke tracing and dust control experiments, single air curtain and blowing–suction air curtain were compared, further validating their effectiveness. Finally, by applying radial jet blowing–suction air curtain dust control technology to the auxiliary haulage north roadway of the Qipanjing Coal Mine, air curtain performance tests were conducted. The dust removal efficiency behind the air curtain exceeded 85 %, whereas the dust removal efficiency ahead of the air curtain exceeded 90 %, which was significantly higher than that behind it. Additionally, for the same test cross-section, the dust removal efficiency increases closer to the blowing outlet. The newly developed air curtain dust control technology provides an effective method for controlling dust in coal mine auxiliary haulage roadways.
期刊介绍:
Powder Technology is an International Journal on the Science and Technology of Wet and Dry Particulate Systems. Powder Technology publishes papers on all aspects of the formation of particles and their characterisation and on the study of systems containing particulate solids. No limitation is imposed on the size of the particles, which may range from nanometre scale, as in pigments or aerosols, to that of mined or quarried materials. The following list of topics is not intended to be comprehensive, but rather to indicate typical subjects which fall within the scope of the journal's interests:
Formation and synthesis of particles by precipitation and other methods.
Modification of particles by agglomeration, coating, comminution and attrition.
Characterisation of the size, shape, surface area, pore structure and strength of particles and agglomerates (including the origins and effects of inter particle forces).
Packing, failure, flow and permeability of assemblies of particles.
Particle-particle interactions and suspension rheology.
Handling and processing operations such as slurry flow, fluidization, pneumatic conveying.
Interactions between particles and their environment, including delivery of particulate products to the body.
Applications of particle technology in production of pharmaceuticals, chemicals, foods, pigments, structural, and functional materials and in environmental and energy related matters.
For materials-oriented contributions we are looking for articles revealing the effect of particle/powder characteristics (size, morphology and composition, in that order) on material performance or functionality and, ideally, comparison to any industrial standard.
