Why Does Water Droplet Size Matter for Silica Dust Suppression?
ResultThis issue is called the " slipstream effect " because the silica particles literally slip past the water stream, avoiding suppression. 1. Spraying smaller water droplets (or a mist), ranging from 10μm to 200 μmin size, is the best solution to this problem. Because mist causes very little slipstream, it is a superior form of dust …
