Abstract
The generation of airborne dust is a significant problem for the mineral industry. Previous studies in the literat-ure concluded that surfactants were the most effective dust suppressant agents since they enhance the wetting characteristics of the material. However, personnel in the iron ore industry have reported that these agents were not effective. Why is it that surfactants are effective for materials like coal but not iron ore? If surfactants can not control dust levels, what other reagents should be considered?
