Dust in Bulk Handling Operations: Sources, Testing and Passive Control through Effective Design
There is no doubt that the creation and management of dust is an ongoing challenge. In recent times, there has been an increased focus on environmental and health concerns related to dust emissions in mining and mineral processing activities. Understanding the behaviour of dry bulk materials in different handling operations is of utmost importance for the design of ‘dust-free’ facilities. Dust remains a key challenge in designing and operating specific links in the materials handling chain. TUNRA Bulk Solids shares some of the testing and design strategies it has learned through research and collaboration to prevent dust emissions. For further reading:
