Experimental Investigation of Coal Dust Wettability Based on Surface Contact Angle by Gang Zhou, Han Qiu, Qi Zhang, Mao Xu, Jiayuan Wang, Gang Wang

“…Wettability is one of the key chemical properties of coal dust, which is very important to dedusting. In this paper, the theory of liquid wetting solid was presented firstly; then, taking the gas coal of Xinglongzhuang coal mine in China as an example, by determination of critical surface tension of coal piece, it can be concluded that only when the surface tension of surfactant solution is less than 45 mN/m can the coal sample be fully wetted. …”
