The invention discloses a
road dust depressor and a preparation method thereof. The
road dust depressor is prepared from 0.5-10% of
petroleum asphalt, 5-20% of
glycerol, 1-5% of
anhydrous calcium acetate, 0.5-5% of a surfactant, 1-5% of a cosolvent, 1-2% of
sodium metasilicate and 55%-90% of water. The preparation method includes: at
room temperature, adding deionized water into a reaction kettle, starting stirring and conducting heating to 50DEG C, adding
anhydrous calcium acetate in batches, after complete dissolving, adding
glycerol, after dissolving, adding the surfactant, road
asphalt, the co-
solvent and
sodium metasilicate in order, performing stirring dissolving to a homogeneous phase so as to obtain a brown-black brown
aqueous solution, and carrying out standing, cooling and filling, thus obtaining a finished product. The
road dust depressor has good
moisture retention,
moisture absorption and adhesion, and has remarkable dust suppression effect and long dust suppression period. The product is safe to use, has no
corrosion to
metal, is non-toxic, can be biodegradable, has no influence to
vegetation, is an environment friendly product, and can be widely applied to
dust control of unpaved roads, urban
asphalt pavement, strip mine roads and the like.
