Investigation of the adhesion properties of organic dust suppressants

Abstract

The authors of the article have developed and proposed for use a new environmentally safe organic dust suppressing compound. The article presents an overview and analysis of the most common organic dust suppressants , describes their features and characteristics. Methods for determining the adhesive properties of solutions have been studied, a proprietary technique has been proposed, and a stand has been developed for assessing the adhesive properties of dust-suppressing solutions applied to dusty surfaces of highways. The adhesion ability of environmentally safe dust control solutions, which have a natural basis and are used for dedusting linear and area sources of dust formation, was evaluated and analyzed. It was found that ginger oil has the lowest adhesion capacity (225.8 Pa), the highest is an aqueous solution of beet molasses (414.9 Pa).
