    摘要: A method for determining quantity and/or a type of dust control agent for controlling dust of a bulk material or flowability thereof comprises dispensing a bulk material into an agitator and agitating the bulk material in the agitator to create airborne dust from the bulk material. A test method for determining a quantity and/or a type of dust control agent effective for reducing a quantity of airborne dust that separates from a bulk material during handling comprises: 1) dispensing a dust-containing bulk material into an agitator; 2) agitating the bulk material in the agitator to a degree sufficient to produce airborne dust from the bulk material; and 3) measuring a quantity of airborne dust produced from the bulk material; repeating steps 1), 2) and 3) after applying a particular dust control agent to said bulk material; and comparing the quantity of airborne dust that separates from the bulk material with and without the dust control agent.

    摘要: A method for determining quantity and/or a type of dust control agent for controlling dust of a bulk material or flowability thereof comprises dispensing a bulk material into an agitator and agitating the bulk material in the agitator to create airborne dust from the bulk material. A test method for determining a quantity and/or a type of dust control agent effective for reducing a quantity of airborne dust that separates from a bulk material during handling comprises: 1) dispensing a dust-containing bulk material into an agitator; 2) agitating the bulk material in the agitator to a degree sufficient to produce airborne dust from the bulk material; and 3) measuring a quantity of airborne dust produced from the bulk material; repeating steps 1), 2) and 3) after applying a particular dust control agent to said bulk material; and comparing the quantity of airborne dust that separates from the bulk material with and without the dust control agent. The dust control and/or flow control agents described herein also eliminate or minimize pluggage of the testing apparatus. In a preferred embodiment, an airborne dust concentration monitor is also used to measure the airborne dust concentration of the bulk material. Also disclosed is a method for determining a quantity and/or a type of flow control agent for increasing flow of a bulk material comprising: 1) dispensing a known quantity of a bulk material into a hopper disposed above a downwardly inclined vibrating ramp; 2) measuring the time required for said known quantity of said bulk material to traverse the vibrating ramp; 3) repeating steps 1) and 2) after applying a quantity of a particular flow control agent to said bulk material; 4) comparing the times from steps 2) and 3) to determine if the quantity and type of flow control agent has increased the flow rate of said bulk material; 5) and optionally repeating steps 2), 3), and 4) using a different quantity or type of flow control agent to find a quantity or type of flow control agent that further increases the flow rate of said bulk material.
