Abstract

Industrial progress is the source of social development. As one of the important links in the industrial production process, industrial particulate transportation systems such as coal, cement, mineral materials and food transportation cause a large number of dust diffuse problems, which have become the pollution source of the deterioration of the environment quality in the workplace. In the production process, the initial velocity of the conveyor belt makes the particle flow form a horizontal projectile motion, which causes the dust pollution and transverse airflow often further aggravates the dust diffusion. Firstly, the author verified the applicability of Discrete Phase Model by using experimental result. Then, this paper studies the control effect of dust emission in the particles flow horizontal projectile fall process with different types baffle and different baffle positions under transverse airflow. The results show that the semicircular baffle has a better dust suppression effect, followed by the V-shaped baffle, the straight baffle is the worst. The semicircular and V-shaped baffles are moved closer to the particles source out, the better the dust suppression effect. The dust suppression effect of the straight baffle gradually improves as the distance increases, and reaches the best at a distance of L=1 m. The research results provide a theoretical basis for ventilation dust removal design of industrial particulate transport systems.
