Technology for Dust Control during Blasting Operations

This technology will effectively reduce the dust pollution in and around the mining area, which eventually enhances the productivity of the mines and the safety of the miners.

Dust generation during blasting operations imposes serious environmental, health and operational hazards in and around the mining area and is a big threat towards sustainable eco-friendly mining operations. CSIR-CIMFR has developed a technology by formulating suitable dust suppressant chemical compositions for the reduction of dust emissions during blasting operations.

Considering the needs of the mineral of our modern society, there is an urgency to look for an advanced technique for sustainable green mining. Huge emissions of dust will be controlled in the mining area by the use of this developed technology. This technology is one step forward towards sustainable green mining.The mining industry will be highly benefited by this technology. A dust-free working environment will enhance the productivity of the mines and reduce the time scale.
