2005-11-1 Handling taconite pellets produces dust. As the pellets are transported, they abrade and produce a fine material that represents a concern for airborne dust. Pellet-breakdown studies revealed that as much as 43% (by weight) of the fine particles were 10 μm in diameter and smaller (material regulated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency). This is a significant amount of material that
Taconite (iron ore) pellets abrade during handling, forming large quantities of fine particulate matter that are easily carried by the air as dust. This dust must be controlled in order to meet air quality standards for particles finer than 10 µm (PM 10). It has been assumed that the most effective method for suppressing dust is to spray the

Proper characterization of a dust suppressant represents a significant challenge. There has been confusion on what makes an effective dust suppressant. Many have argued that a dust suppressant must wet the material effectively and rapidly to control airborne dust. As a result, dust suppression studies have been heavily dependent upon laboratory wetting experiments such as contact angles, fine

2011-10-1 The MTU Dust Tower was designed to capture all of the airborne dust onto a filter where it could be weighed. However, the PM 10 and PM 2.5 could potentially pass through a filter, and so it was necessary to include a means for instrumental detection of these particulates.

Occupational inhalation of high iron oxide dust concentrations over the long term can lead to benign pneumoconiosis, termed siderosis (BHP Iron Ore, 2007).

Dust emission is one of the critical problems of the mining industry. Dust emission can cause respiratory diseases among workers and adjacent residents of the factory and environmental pollution in the region. This study aims to reduce dust emissions of an iron ore concentrate plant in Iran. Applyin

2016-9-8 Enviroflo Engineering, an Ecolab company are dust control engineers to the minerals extraction industry. Based in the UK, we supply dust extraction and dust suppression systems worldwide to the mining, quarrying asphalt and biomass energy industries.
A large iron ore operation experienced high-levels of dust and low visibility on haul roads during dry months. The mine turned to Nalco Water to partner on a solution that would help them achieve better, safer results and reduce the cost of treatment compared to a
BHP has a long history of managing dust at our Port Hedland operations. Since our first shipment aboard the MV Osumi Maru back in 1969, we’ve come a long way. The primary method of control used by exporters including BHP, is ensuring sufficient moisture (water) is added to the ore at the mine site to keep dust emissions to a minimum.
