This I. Dust Control in Relation to Modernization Plans means that if the dust from pulverized silica and from siljjj The cost of dust control causes many a plant manager to sand can be completely suppressed, the minimum require hesitate when he is fundamentally dissatisfied with the offending process itself from the production standpoint. He is concerned1 with the expense of a dust control system that may be obsolete when the process itself is eliminated. In any progressive company modernization is a continual process, and if needed dust control were to be postp'oned wherever there is thought of changing the equipment it would wait forever. The . three possible courses of action in these circum stances are (1) postpone the dust control expenditure until the new process has been installed, (2) install a first-class system which would be discarded when the process change developed, and (3) install makeshift dust control. If it appears that none of these policies fit a given situa tion and, particularly, if the costs would really be ex cessive for the time period before reconstruction, it is well ments are satisfied. (2) Flint Dust Control There is no way of eliminating the silicosis hazard ia manual unloading of box cars of flint by exhaust ventila. tion. If there were a procedure whereby such hazardous dusty materials could be made dustless by incorporating an addj. tion agent at the point of shipment it would be advag. tageous. Water is such an agent and it has, in fact, beeg the practice in some sections of the dinnerware pottery industry for more than 10 years to require the supplier to incorporate small quantities of water in flint at the point of shipment: Some extensive measurements have indicated that wheg properly done the effects of 2 to 3% moisture in dust sup.

Use of these arrange Car unloading, storage, removal from storage to weighing and mixing equipment are operations that are common to all ceramic industries and these operations are inherently dusty. They are taken up in order. The procedure is of much broader importance than for this particular material. It will be useful in suppressing the dust in similar handling of feldspar and of such tna- terials as silica cement for use in refractory furnace con struction. . in car unloading of flin flowing material that i the clays that cannot t: is not related to the i formed in removal fron (1) Car Unloading, Manual ..The commonest method of shipment of clays, flint, and spar is by bulk in box cars with unloading commonly done nianually by wheelbarrow. By modern industrial standards this is a crude method of handling, but it is easily understood on the basis of rela tive costs of raw materials and of product. A cost of 40 to 50 cents per ton to unload a raw material by hand is an extremely small proportion of the selling price of about $300 to $400 per ton, using figures of the dinnerware in dustry. Economic incentives, therefore, for installation of silo storage and mechanical handling have not been great for the small plant, i.e., one handling small tonnages. From the same facts it follows that the cost of the pro duct could not be greatly affected by an ordinary increase in handling costs in this department. Nevertheless, we think it is fairly obvious that manual handling methods will continue to be common for a long time. (3) Bag Shipment It might be thought that shipment, of flint in paper bags would be of great advantage in eliminating dust in car unloading, but in most instances this is not true. Sifting of material from bag openings and breakage of bags in transit distribute dry dust throughout the pile and this results in excessive concentrations of flint dust during car unloading. For ordinary handling methods, therefore, bag shipment of flint is no solution to the problem of preventing serious silica dust exposure in raw material handling. In summary, we know of no practical method tor ade quate control of flint dust in manual unloading methods, I those that require a man to go into the car, other than by r rendering the material dustless. Any arrangements that lessen or eliminate the time spent in the car are, of course, aids in reduction of total dust eiposure. These include bin conveyors where wheelbarro* travel ends at the car door and a drag line scoop which \ j. ! j. of by separate measure In glass plants, distri or with trippers, above Belt conveyors are favi to resist the abrasive a they do not simplify t are definitely not the materials like soda ash, is readily controlled by transfer from elevator t and exhausted sand bin: IV.

Overhead Bins, Silos, Etc. Overhead storage bins mean mechanical conveying equipment. Some of the methods of car unloading pre viously outlined* are often used in conjunction with overhead bins, but any modern installation of storage bins would employ, for silica or other free flowing dust material, a car unloading procedure that would prevent formation or escape of any dust. The material may be shipped in hop per bottom cars which discharge into equipment that con veys it to the bins, or it may be unloaded from box cars by a pneumatic pipe line or by pump. Use of these arrangements eliminate the silicosis hazard in car unloading of flint and sand as well as any other free flowing material that may contain free silica. Dust from the days that cannot be so handled is unchanged, but this is not rdated to' the problem of silicosis control. Dust formed in removal from the storage bin must be taken care of by separate measures. In glass plants,; distributing belts in shuttle arrangement or with trippers, above open-top bins, are not uncommon. Belt conveyors are fa vored because they are best adapted to resist the abrasive action of ceramic raw materials but they do not simplify the problem of dust control. They are definitely not the conveyor of choice for fine dusty materials like soda ash, spar, etc. For other materials dust is readily controlled by installation of exhaust at points of transfer from elevator to belt or from belt to bin. Covered and exhausted sand bins are a primary necessity. IV. . Weighing and Charging Dust caused by withdrawal of material from overhead bins into a weigh!car may be controlled by exhaust at the point of discharge;; its physical form will be determined by available space and the arrangements of bin spouts, weigh car, etc. i It may be done by a booth-type hood fixed over the veigh car and surrounding the chute, by exhausting the Partially enclosed weigh car directly, or even by exhausting *be charging tunnel as though it were a large booth. Scale cars in some cases may be exhausted by a small fan aud dust collector; mounted on the carrying frame. (1949) (1) Morris System The Morris patent describes an ingenious arrangement for exhausting the weigh car of a whiteware plant re gardless of its position on the tracks. Since nearly all of the dust in shoveling material from one point to another occurs at the receiving pile (in this case the weigh car), it is apparent that it provides an effective measure for dust control at that point, and this applies to the clays that are shoveled. In the case of flint and feldspar, all dust is controlled because the weigh car is filled from storage silos by screw feeders and dust originates only at the point of screw discharge. (2) Exhausting Charging Point Exhausting the point where weigh material is discharged is not a difficult problem, using conventional design proce dures, whether it be dropped by gravity into an elevator boot, or shoveled into a blunger or into a skip hoist. (3) Wet Methods Anyone who has watched the back-breaking, laborious and primitive methods of charging a mixer or blunger in a pottery plant is given to the thought, "There must be a better way of doing this." The -problem of weighing a continuous stream of dry materials accurately has not been solved in any simple and foolproof way. On the other hand liquids are easily measured accurately. This suggests, for certain ceramic industries, incorporating the dry raw materials with water during unloading of the car and storing them as water sus pensions. Proportioning the raw materials without dust and accurately is, then, a simple procedure of liquid meter ing based on the solids content. Methods of this general nature should be particularly applicable to whiteware manufacturers in which the raw material mixing process ends up with considerable excess water anyway. This principle is employed in wet process cement plants, in English potteries, and recently in a far western sanitaryware plant (see Fig. 1). .

If various dusty materials are served by the same exhaust system, the dust is an unknown mixture and hence waste. An important rule is to arrange the exhaust intake so 6"" \f fWRONCj The only control method applicable to control of this that the only material removed in the air stream is that dust is exhausting air from the kiln interior (by means of a already suspended in the air and locate the ends of exhaust portable unit) at a very high rate.

V. Nuisance Dust and Silicosis Dust From time to time in the preceding discussion the writer has referred to silicosis hazards and to excessive dust. This is an important distinction. Silicosis is a pathological condition that may lead to disability and results from years of exposure to certain concentrations of dust that contain free silica. Excessive concentrations of other dusts con stitute a nuisance, are intolerable and not excusable on any economic grounds. It is imperative to clear thinking that ; diffraction.)

These techniques deter Flint (moi material as in some other dusty industries. Where ex haust systems 'are employed for dust contf-ol in the raw material handling, every effort should, therefore, be made to reduce unnecessary transportation of useful material to mine total dust. Measuring the silicosis hazard on the .other hand requires supplementary techniques to deter mine how much free silica is in that dust.

Nature Silicosis Dust Problem Table III attempts to represent the over-all relative Knrgrd from dust in raw material handling in four of the common ceramic industries. This table emphasizes that the hazard in a given case is the product of two factors: (1) the inherent toxicity which is governed by the free silica content of the material, and (2) by its inherent dusti- Tbe silicosis hazard in raw material handling in glass plants is variable.. In sand car unloading it is dependent on whether the methods employed make dust. In the batching operations it is nearly always very low, but the total dust exposure (nonsiliceous) is high where engineer ing measures for its control have not been instituted. ~ In silica brick manufacture all dust factors respecting silicosis are high. [In refractories manufacture the silicosis hazard is usually very low or nonexistent, but total dust exposure may be j very high. In potteries the silicosis hazard is a direct function of the amount of flint dust.

Stepwise accomplishments measured in reduced dustiness cost more for each successive reduction in dust. (See Fig. 3.) This is just another way of saying that money expended for control of major dust sources accomplishes more in dust reduction than the same amount expended in the next step for control of lesser sources. The arrival of stage A or B, where residual dust remains in undesirable amounts, often inspires the remark to visitors, "You should have seen it when--." The first steps are concerned with control of obvious sources of dust. Beyond that point, the problem often becomes obscure. Important remaining causes of dust may not be obvious and their relative importance may not be clear. At this stage it is highly advantageous to an intelligent procedure to have definite knowledge of the remaining sources of dust and the relative amounts each contributes to the atmosphere. For example, studies in the ceramic industries indicate that the debris on floors (dust kicked into the air by walk ing) contributes a very small proportion of dust where total dust concentrations are higher than 4 to 5 million. This data enabled concentration of attention on other dust sources of more importance. If the economic situation at this stage is difficult, relative to estimated costs of fur ther improvement, arrangements should be made for measurements of total dust and its composition relative to free silica and consequent capacity to produce silicosis. If the writer appears to stress unduly the factor of costs in relation to' dust control it is hoped that the distinction made between the two aspects of the problem will make clear the attempt to have them viewed in proper perspec tive, i.e., as separate problems. The writer is convinced that any remaining silicosis hazards in this industry could be eliminated within a couple of years if management were apprised of the facts. The silicosis hazard can be measured and methods for its elimination, practically, are available. Any ceramic plant with a dust hazard can eliminate it. All that is required is for the executive head to realize fully its importance to his company, to issue the orders that dust must go, and to maintain that interest through out the cleanup program. -ri ri Ef- Directory of Corporation Members The Directoiy of Corporation Members of The American Ceramic Society is presented in the following na The companies listed here are the ones which are interested in the technical development of the ceramic indust These companies hire the technically trained men, buy and sell the latest machinery and equipment, and u the lead in the development of new equipment and processes.
