Aiming to further improve the dust suppression performance of the dust suppressant, the present study independently develops a new type of biodegradable environmentally-friendly dust suppressant. Specifically, the naturally occurring biodegradable soybean protein isolate (SPI) is selected as the main material, which is subject to an anionic surfactant, i.e., sodium dodecyl sulfonate (SDS) for modification with the presence of additives including carboxymethylcellulose sodium and methanesiliconic acid sodium. As a result, the SDS-SPI cementing dust suppressant is produced. The present study experimentally tests solutions with eight different dust suppressant concentrations under the same experimental condition, so as to evaluate their dust suppression performances. Key metrics considered include water retention capability, cementing power and dust suppression efficiency. The optimal concentration of dust suppressant solution is determined by collectively comparing these metrics. The experiments indicate that the optimal dust suppressant concentration is 3%, at which level the newly developed environmentally-friendly dust suppressant solution exhibits a decent dust suppression characteristic, with the water retention power reaching its peak level, and the corresponding viscosity being 12.96 mPa·s. This performance can generally meet the requirements imposed by coal mines. The peak efficiency of dust suppression can reach 92.13%. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to analyze the dust suppression mechanism of the developed dust suppressant. It was observed that a dense hardened shell formed on the surface of the pulverized coal particles sprayed with the dust suppressant. There is strong cementation between coal dust particles, and the cementation effect is better. This can effectively inhibit the re-entrainment of coal dust and reduce environmental pollution.

Dust suppression is the most popular method for depositing dust from the air to blast isolation. Improving the isolation system for probable coal dust explosions is an integral part of the problem of dust explosion protection of mining enterprises, the solution of which is one of the most important tasks in the field of occupational safety and health. Purpose: study of physics of the process and the construction of a mathematical model of the movement of aerosols in mine workings in a wide range of changes in the inertial kinematic parameters of the air flow. Research methods. Based on the Boussinesq equation, the Fourier rule and the similarity theorem of complex systems, the analogy of vorticity dispersion and kinematic viscosity, a mathematical model of the movement of dust aerosols under hydro-vortex coagulation conditions is constructed. Some similarity criteria are obtained that ensure the identity of experimental studies and real aerological processes in mines, as well as criterion equations for calculating the coefficient of aerodynamic drag and the time of unsteady inertial motion. Results. Equations are obtained that make it possible to identify aerodynamic processes of aerosol motion under hydro-cyclonic dust suppression through the criteria of Reynolds, Euler and Archimedes, corresponding to the overStokes and Stokes flow regimes. The possibility of reducing the aerodynamic resistance to 20% during hydro-vortex coagulation has been confirmed, which makes it possible to increase the energy efficiency of dust suppression by up to 15% and to increase the turbulization coefficient by at least 20%, thereby reducing the likelihood of a hazardous concentration of dust aerosols. Application. The use of the proposed mathematical model will make it possible to better calculate local aerological processes in mine workings and, as a consequence, to increase the efficiency of turbulization and dust suppression process control at mining enterprises.
