The invention relates to a dust-suppression agent, which is prepared by the following methods: A. material preparation: respectively weighing 3 to 5 parts of
starch, 35 to 40 parts of water, 15 to 20 parts of crylic acid, 30 to 40 percent of 30 percent
sodium hydroxide, 8 to 12 parts of initiating agent and 1 to 5 parts of cross-linking agent by weight parts for standby; and B. preparation: firstly, mixing the crylic acid and 30 percent
sodium hydroxide to be prepared into
sodium acrylate solution for standby, adding the
starch and the water into a reaction kettle to be stirred and uniformly mixed at the
room temperature, heating the materials to 75 to 80 DEG C, then, carrying out pasting for 1 hour at the constant temperature, stopping heating for reducing the temperature in the reaction kettle to 45 to 50 DEG C, then, maintaining the constant temperature, introducing
nitrogen gas for replacing air in the reaction kettle, sequentially adding the prepared
sodium acrylate solution, the initiating agent and the cross-linking agent into the reaction kettle, continuously introducing the
nitrogen gas, carrying out reaction for 3 hours under slow stirring at the constant temperature, filtering out water,
drying the materials in a baking oven between 70 and 80 DEG C, and obtaining a powdery dust-suppression agent after the pulverization. The dust-suppression agent is used for bulk
coal pile surface layer dust prevention treatment, and can effectively suppress the flying of the bulk
coal pile surface layer dust.
