Abstract:
Reducing pollution caused by coal dust has always been a hot issue in the coal mining industry, and the water absorption of coal particles plays an important role in dust reduction. To study the relationship between different immersion time and the water absorption of coal particles, the substance content of coal particles after immersion was analyzed and water absorption characterization of coal particles was carried out by X-ray diffraction (XRD), water absorption calculations, and water absorption measurements. The results indicate that immersion can alter the material content of coal particles, leading to a decrease in the content of soluble mineral kaolinite, thereby affecting the wettability of coal particles. Notably, the longer the immersion time, the higher the water absorption rate of the particles, indicating a more significant water absorption effect. Furthermore, there is a negative correlation between particle sizes and water absorption of coal particles. The research results provide a theoretical reference for reducing coal dust pollution and improving the efficiency of dust suppression through spray.
