The invention discloses a powdered mineral surface curing agent which comprises swelling starch, alum, anhydrous calcium chloride, bentonite of calcium, borax and other accessory ingredients. The powdered mineral surface curing agent has the advantage that a 'liquid tarpaulin' is used in a way of spraying in the process of transporting coal or powdered ore by utilizing swelling adhesive technology. As the coal layer or the powdered ore layer is effectively sprayed and covered, the loss, the environmental pollution and potential safety hazard which are caused in the transportation of coal or powdered ore can be reduced. Being different from the original method for oxidizing and pasting by using other formulation under the condition of liquidoid, the invention reduces a great deal of equipment and complicated working procedures. For the transportation of coal or powdered ore, the powdered mineral surface curing agent does not change the original properties of coal or powdered ore and has the advantages of lower cost, non-toxicity, no corrosion, no pollution, light weight, good fluidity, rapid dryness, fine toughness, high primary adhesive force, stable viscocity, high intensity, strong curing force, high stability, simple and convenient use, etc.
