Abstract:
This study addresses the issue of varying the wetting effects of surfactants in coal dust control. Utilizing low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR) experiments and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, it reveals the microscopic wetting mechanism of nonionic surfactant fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether (JFCS) on different coal ranks. The results indicate that JFCS can reduce the attractive forces between molecules on the coal surface, promoting the diffusion of water molecules at the coal interface. The wetting effect of JFCS on lignite is superior to that on bituminous coal. The wetting range and diffusion rate of water molecules in the surfactant system were obtained, elucidating the microscopic wetting mechanism and influencing the laws of different coal ranks under the action of surfactants. This provides excellent theoretical guidance for coal seam water injection dust prevention, improves the effectiveness and pertinence of mine dust control, and contributes to the improvement of cleaner production levels in mines.

Solubility
A solution is a homogeneous mixture composed of a solvent, the major component, and a solute, the minor component. The physical state of a solution—solid, liquid, or gas—is typically the same as that of the solvent. Solute concentrations are often described with qualitative terms such as dilute (of relatively low concentration) and concentrated (of relatively high concentration).
In a solution, the solute particles (molecules,...
