The invention discloses a novel dust-inhibiting and fire-retarding covering agent for
coal, and a preparation method thereof. The dust-inhibiting and fire-retarding covering agent comprises components of, by
mass: 4-5% of a
film forming agent, 10-12% of a curing agent, 2-3% of a film forming auxiliary agent, 1-3% of a penetrant, 1-3% of a
fire retardant, and 74-82% of water. The preparation method of the dust-inhibiting and fire-retarding covering agent comprises steps that: the
film forming agent is added and dissolved in water under a certain temperature; the temperature is controlled; the solution is continuously stirred, and the curing agent, the film forming auxiliary agent, the penetrant, and the
fire retardant are orderly added to the solution while stirring; the mixture is stirred, until a reaction is sufficiently carried out. The novel dust-inhibiting and fire-retarding covering agent is sprayed onto the surface of
coal under a normal temperature, and other equipments and conditions are not required. Within a short time, a flexible and compact continuous high-molecular covering membrane is formed, such that phenomena of
dust emission and
spontaneous combustion during transportation and stacking processes can be avoided. Therefore,
coal economic loss and environmental
pollution can be effectively reduced; and great
economic benefits and
social benefits of
environmental protection are provided.
