Is the mine a surface mine or underground?

Calcium chloride in a water suspension is one way and using an inexpensive dish soap like the Dawn brand is another.

The answer to your problem is a certified environmentally friendly solution that will last for a few months on haul roads and is used by the largest to the smallest mining operations in the world. You would be wise not to use toxic chlorides for health and safety reasons and the massive threat to the entire environment but be sure to verify that whatever you use is certified as sustainable in every way. The perfect product for you is Dust Stop and further information on this high quality solution to your dust problems can be viewed at www.cypherenvironmental.com and cypherltd.com where you can get all the information that you will need as well as News of the use of Dust Stop on haul roads and in other mining situations worldwide. Hope this helps.

Somewhere in the websites offered ther is mention of a US standard relating to road permeability. You should investigate the publication to see if it refers to an acceptable test method which you can adopt.

Choosing a product seems to be akin to choosing a washing powder & a test procedure should be a completely level playing field which of course you cannot acheive because it would be unrealistic to treat the same playing field with different products in the same season.

Our product will enhance the permeability (k) factor of all dusty materials. Here is a graph of what it will do with a Sandy Loam soil. This was tested for landfill applications where the permeability was to be 1x10-7 or better, we exceeded that by several factors.
