A device may determine a current level of moisture of a section of a ground surface. The device may determine a moisture removal rate of the section of the ground surface. The device may predict an expected level of moisture of the section of the ground surface at an estimated time of arrival of an autonomous machine with a water dispensing unit and determine an amount of water to be dispensed by the autonomous machine at the section of the ground surface. The expected level of moisture may be predicted based on the current level of moisture and the moisture removal rate. The amount of water may be determined based on the expected level of moisture and a desired level of moisture. The device may provide a command, to the autonomous machine, to cause the autonomous machine to dispense the amount of water to the section of the ground surface.

The autonomous dust mitigation m mmmg and construction applications system disclosed herein may comprise a system that automatically detects dust at mmmg and construction sites and dispatches dust mitigation equipment in response to such detections. The dust areas detected may be assigned priorities within the system, and may be addressed or ignored based on various parameters dictating the behavior of the system. If, for example, an area of dust is not currently in use by local equipment, the system may not dispatch equipment to address that area. If, on the other hand, an area of dust is affecting a high priority or high risk area of the site, the system may prioritize the dispatching of dust mitigation equipment to that area over other areas. The system described in the present invention comprises an autonomous dust mitigation system used in mining and construction applications that contains a plurality of sensors, a computing device, a dust area mapping system, a dust area prioritizing system, and a plurality of dust mitigation equipment.

Compositions for dust suppression, methods for forming the compositions, and methods for using the compositions are provided. In one embodiment, the composition includes a non-sulfonated lignin and an alkylene glycol alkyl ether solvent. The compositions may be applied to an exposed surface of a substrate.

The present disclosure relates to a vehicular work machine (10) that is adapted for handling at least two different interchangeable tools (4). The machine (10) also comprises a user control device (11) and a water supply arrangement (31) that is adapted to distribute water for retaining dust that is created when a tool (4) is used, The water supply arrangement (31) comprises a controllable valve (24) that is arranged to control the flow of the water that is distributed via at least one nozzle (29). The user control device (11) is arranged for selection of a desired tool, where at least one selectable tool is associated with a certain predefined water setting. Each water setting relates to a certain relative flow of distributed water during a certain time that is related to the time said tool (4) is chosen and performing a certain work procedure, and/or to the time said tool (4) is chosen and ready to perform a certain work procedure.

An apparatus for dispersing liquid flame retardant mixtures mounts in the bucket of mine scoop. The apparatus has a housing which is generally sized to fit within a mine scoop bucket while leaving space in the bucket for moving mine material. The housing has a reservoir within it for holding a fire prevention mixture. The mixture is a liquid mixture and the apparatus has a motor, pump, tubes, and nozzles for dispersing the fire prevention mixture. The apparatus accommodates a hydraulic cylinder for moving the mixture dispersing apparatus back and forth within the scoop bucket. The hydraulic cylinder is operated to position the nozzles for dispersing the liquid. Some embodiments of the apparatus have a front face with scraper blade elements that operate as a scraper blade similar to scraper blades in scoop buckets that do not have the apparatus in place.

Disclosed is a smart dust suppression system that sprays atomized water through a fan that ensures the dust raised during collection, transport and discharge to be suppressed at the point where it starts to form without spreading to the environment, in enterprises such as cement factories, iron and steel factories, coal enterprises, thermal power plants, ports and the like, in machines that ensure the stockpiling of raw materials and the recovery of the stocked raw materials in all open and closed mine sites, in clamshell and conveyor belt systems, thereby preventing environmental pollution, protecting human health, preventing machinery and equipment from being affected by dust, and suppressing the dust emitted by the conveyor belts and the clamps during the unloading of the raw material.

A mister for a portable mortar mixer. The mister for the portable mortar mixer includes an inlet hose designed to secure to a spigot or other water source. A primary interface is in operable connection with the inlet hose, so that water will flow from the water source to the primary interface. Outlet hoses extend from the primary interface opposite of the inlet hose so that water is directed from the primary interface to the outlet hoses. Each outlet hose has a misting nozzle that is designed to spray a water mist over the active mixing site of a mortar mixer. Additionally, each outlet hose has a fastener designed to secure the outlet hose to a mortar mixer.
