A review of dust control/removal methods in metal mines in China
In recent years, the control and removal methods for dust pollution in metal mines mainly focused on six aspects: (1) ventilation and dust removal technology, (2) sealed dedusting technology, (3) spray dedusting technology, (4) dust suppressants, (5) dust collectors,
