A DUST CONTROL SUBSTANCES-SOLUTION AND HOW IT IS TO BE APPLIED

Abstract

The invention is a dust control substances-solution (DCSS). The invention discloses the substances the DCSS is made of, how they are to be mixed and how the DCSS is to be applied. The DCSS is based on treated soft wood particles and substances that form a layer oved dust covered surfaces. The layer traps water that is applied to the surface, thus, maintaining the dust in aggregates and prevents its raising to the air.

10) The water of claim 1, wherein, the concentration (by weight) of said of water in said DCSS is between 0.3% and 0.7%

11) The wood particles of claim 1, wherein, the concentration (by weight) of said wood particles in said DCSS is between 55% and 65%

12) The substances of DCSS of claim 1, wherein, the substances include a water-soluble coloring agent at a concentration (by weight) of between 0.01% and 5%

13) The DCSS of claim 1, wherein, the DCSS is spread in a layer of between land thickness.

14) The wood particles of the DCSS of claim 1, wherein, said wood particles are produced from soft wood.

15) The soft wood particles of claim 14, wherein, said soft wood particles are of various length size particles, ranging from 3 millimeter to 80 millimeters.

16) The DCSS of claim 1, wherein, the DCSS is spread by a commercial beef feed truck.

17) The DCSS of claim 1, wherein, the DCSS is spread by a mulch spread device.

18) The DCSS of claim 1, wherein, the DCSS is spread by a. motor grader

19) The DCSS of claim 1, wherein, the DCSS is spread by a compost spreader

Description

A DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0049] The characteristics of the environmentally friendly dust control substances-solution (DCSS) of the invention were previously described. Presently a preferred embodiment of the production procedure of the DCSS is provided.

[0050] The preferred DCSS is composed (given in % by weight) of: [0051] Glycerin, 22.5% cosmetic grade, [0052] A mixture of borates substances of chemical grade, 10%, [0053] Propylene-glycol: 7.5% cosmetic grade, [0054] WO-100, 0.1%,

[0055] A mixture of soft wood particles of pine palms and poplar type trees, 59.3% The particles in a mixture of a size-range between 5 and 20 mm, all of one size or of a random mixture of sizes. [0056] Water: 0.5%, [0057] Coloring agent: Brilliant Blue FCF 0.1%

[0058] The production of the DCSS solution is divided into three separate forming stages prior to adding the wood particles: [0059] Producing of solution No. 1by mixing water soluble dye Brilliant Blue FCF into water. [0060] Producing of solution No. 2thoroughly mixing WO-100 into the glycerin, then adding solution 1 to solution 2 and mixing. [0061] Producing solution No. 3 by mixing the borates substance into the propylene glycol and adding solution No. 2 to form solution No. 3 and mixing, [0062] Mixing solution No. 3 with the wood particles. [0063] The DCSS in now ready for use.

[0064] In deployments the DCSS is typically spread in a 1 inch\2.5-centimeter-thick layer on the treated ground-surface. The DCSS is typically sprayed at 4 liters per square meter. Following the spreading of the DCSS, the layer is typically sprayed with 4 liters of the water per each square meter. The spraying of the water is repeated every 3 to 5 days. After approximately 30 rounds of water-wetting of the DCL, in order to enhance the DCSS dust compression efficiency (and likewise to enhance the dye substance), the DCSS layer is sprayed with a diluted (typical. but not limited to) 20% solution, 80% water) DCSS solution composed of the substances of the original DCSS without the wood particles, typically at a dose of approximately 4 liters per square meter.

[0065] The intensity of the dye substance in the spread DCSS is a rough indicator of the state of the DCSS. The fading of the strong blue of the Brilliant Blue FCF dye indicts the washout of the substances of the DCSS from the dust control layer.

[0066] Pictures 1 and 2 visually illustrate the effectiveness of utilizing the DCSS on dust covered dirt roads.

[0067] Picture No. 1 is a photograph from the front window of a car that travels behind a vehicle (not visible because of the dust) on the untreated dirt road in the query of Hartuv (near the Town of Beit-Shemesh in Israel) in October 2021.

[0068] Picture No. 2 is a photograph is a photograph from the front window of a car traveling on the same dirt road shown in picture No. 1 after a heavy truck a day after picture No. 1 was taken and after the dust control substances-solution (DCSS) was applied. The effect of the control of the dust can be seen by comparing the two pictures.

[0069] It should be clear that the description of the embodiment set forth in this specification serves only for a better understanding of the invention, without limiting its scope. It should also be clear that a person skilled in the art, after reading the present specification could make adjustments or amendments the above described embodiments that would still be covered by the present invention.
