ROCK DUST SURFACE CHEMISTRY MODIFICATIONS FOR ELIMINATING CAKE FORMATION AND IMPROVING DISPERSION IN COAL DUST EXPLOSION MITIGATION APPLICATIONS

Rock dust has been historically applied to mitigate the coal dust explosion in either dry or wet form. Dry rock dust performs best in inerting the potential coal dust explosion due to the greatest dispersive properties. However, it undesirably exposes underground coal miners to respirable dust parti...
