Research and synthesis of an automated dust suppression system for an apatite-nepheline mine

Intensification of work at enterprises associated with the extraction and processing of materials makes the problem of dust formation particularly relevant. Dust negatively affects the health of workers, reduces the quality of products and equipment, and damages the environment. The aim of this study was to create an effective automated dust suppression system to minimize dust emissions into the work area and the environment. An analysis of existing dust suppression methods was carried out; their advantages and disadvantages were considered. A conceptual automation scheme was developed, which includes dust concentration sensors, a control system, and actuators. Modern programming technologies and control systems were used to implement an automatic monitoring and control system for the dust suppression process. As a result, a software and hardware system capable of controlling the level of dust in apatite-nepheline mines is proposed. The proposed solution can be used to improve working conditions, increase safety, and reduce harmful effects on the environment.
