Results of industrial tests of anti-smoke additives to diesel fuel in conditions of the Tsentralny mine of PO Apatit
Abstract
Currently, hundreds of millions of internal combustion engines are in operation in the world. According to various data, they burn more than 1 billion tons of oxygen per year, emit into the atmosphere 120-150 million tons of carbon monoxide, more than 1 million tons of sulfur oxide, tens of millions of tons of unburned hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides. The situation is particularly difficult at open-pit mining operations, where a large number of dump trucks with a carrying capacity of 30-180 tons, bulldozers and other equipment are concentrated in a relatively small space. Synergetic interaction of individual components of harmful emissions and dust particles forming photochemical smog cause changes in physiological processes in the human body. In addition, in some periods at the quarries due to severe atmospheric pollution completely or partially stops work, waiting for ventilation idles expensive mining and transportation equipment.
