STONE DUST

Specialty Definition: STONE DUST

DomainDefinition

Mining

A. In coal mines any inert dust spread on roadways as a defense against the danger of coal dust explosions. The stone dust used is of a type that does not cake in mine air. Ground limestone is satisfactory in most conditions. About 5% less limestone is required than shale, and gypsum has about two to three times the efficiency of shale. Gypsum appears to owe its high efficiency to its hydrate water. Inert dusts are effective because they absorb heat that the coal dust would otherwise receive from the flame. See also:dust consolidation b. Shale dust c. Loosely applied to any incombustile dust used to render coal dustincombustible. (references)
