Hauling road dust suppressants are dust control agents used on hauling roads - roads used by heavy vehicles such as mining trucks to transport materials (e.g. coal, ore, soil or sand).
Here's a more detailed explanation:
What is Hauling Road Dust Suppressant
Hauling road dust suppressant is a chemical or natural substance that is applied to the surface of mine roads to bind dust particles, thereby reducing flying dust caused by heavy vehicle activity. The objectives are:
- 
Maintain air quality around the mine area. 
- 
Improve visibility for vehicle operators. 
- 
Reduce health problems (ARI, eye irritation, etc.) for workers and the surrounding community. 
- 
Extend the life of the mine road because the surface does not wear out as quickly due to loose dust. 
Types of Dust Suppressants
Some common types:
- 
Water-based 
 Simplest - just uses water to suppress dust. However, the effect is very temporary and requires repeated watering.
- 
Hygroscopic salt-based 
 For example, calcium chloride (CaCl₂) or magnesium chloride (MgCl₂). These salts absorb moisture from the air, keeping the road moist for longer.
- 
Polymer-based or organic resins 
 Examples include lignosulfonates, enzymatic binders, or synthetic polymers. Forms a bonding layer on the road surface making it more durable.
- 
Oil or bitumen based 
 Forms a dust-proof layer, suitable for roads with heavy traffic, but can have an environmental impact if not managed properly.
Application Method
- 
Usually applied with a water truck. 
- 
Dosage and frequency depend on soil type, traffic intensity and weather. 
- 
Some mines use a mixture of water and chemical dust suppressants for efficiency. 
Environmental Aspects
The selection of dust suppressant must consider:
- 
Toxicity to plants and animals. 
- 
Potential for ground or surface water pollution. 
- 
Biodegradability.
