Abstract
Abstract A binder substance intended primarily for binding finely-divided, dust-generating solid material. The binder substance is in the form of an aqueous emulsion and/or aqueous solution and is applied to, e.g. sprayed onto, a dust source therewith binding dust, and stabilizes to form a binding film through the dispersion of water.
The substance is mainly characterized in that it includes at least one polymer-based substance in combination with fibres which are operative to reinforce the film.

A ~inder Substance The present invention relates to a binder substance lntended primarily for binding finely divided, du~t-generating solid material and al00 intended to be applied in the form of an aqueous pha~e, e.g. sprayed onto a dust source and therewith bind dust and to be stabili~ed as the water vapour di~perses, such a~ to form a binding film.
, Dusty environments create serious problem3 in pre~ent times, not lea~t in industry. One special problem in this re~pect i~ encountered in places where dust-generating material i9 3tored, among other things because of the large quantities of du3t available. It i~
therewith desirable to bind the dust mechanically and al90 to passivate the dust in a manner to avoid undeairable leaching phenomenon.
~inding 3ubstances for thi~ purpo~e are known to the art. See, for instance, Swedish Patent No. tSwedish Patent Appli-cation 6503765-3), which relates ~o technique providing good dust--; binding ability. The present invention, however, relates to a binding substance which po~esses an extremely high dust-binding capacity and which is effective over con~iderably long periods of time, as compared with known technique3. This render~ the i.nventive 3ub3tance ~uita~le for treating, inter alia, sites intended for the long-term ~torage of dust-qeneratinq material.
Thus, the pre~ent invention relate~ to a binding ~ubstance intended primarily for finely-divided, du~t-generating ~olid material. The binding subqtance is in the form of a~ aqueous emulsion and/or aqueou~
solution and is intended to be applied, such as sprayed, onto a du~t source and therewith bind dust, and to be ~tabilized by the dis-persion of water, such as to form a binding film.
The inventive binder substance is characterized particularly in that ; it include~ a~ least one polymer-ba~ed substance in combination with fibres operative to form a reinforcement in the film.
~' The inventlon will now be described in more detail with reference to exemplifying embodiment~ thereof.

According to one preferred embodiment of the inventive binder sub-stance, the polymer-based substance i~ a polyvinyl alcohol in aqueou~
solution, a preferred concentration of polyvinyl alcohol being about 1-10% by weight. A suitable polyvinyl alcohol i9 one that has a high - degree of hydrolysi~ and long molecular chain~, with the purpose of reducing solubility in water and increa~ing weather resistance. An example of a poly~inly alcohol suitable in the present context i9 a quality having a hydrolysis degree of 99.7 ~ 0.3 mol-X.
~ The fihres are preferably celluloYe fibres, preferably cellulo3e - fibre~ comprising substantially unb~eached paper pulp. A preferred fibre concentration i8 ahout 1-15X by wei~ht.
,:
With the intention of being able to vary or adapt ~he binder substance to the propertie~ of the substrate surface, i.e. the dust source, a viscosity-elevating sub~ance can be supplied to and incorporated in ~ the binder ~ubstance. The viscosity-elevating ~ubstance may be mixed ; directly with the binder substance, prior to applyin~ said ~ub~tance, e.g. spraying said sub3tance, and/or can be mixed with the substance in coniunction with its application, e.g. by spraying, the viscosity-elevating ~ub~tance being pre-applied, e.g. pre-~prayed, onto the dust source. The vi~cosi~y-elevating ~ubstance i5 thus operative to : increase the viscosity of the binder substance to a desired extent, ;~ 25 therewith to provide a product of more solid consistency, a gel.
The visco~ity-enhancing substance may, of cour~e, compriae two or - more individual ~ubstances. According to one embodiment, the vi~c08ity-; enhancing ~ubstance comprises one or more of the substances boric acid and ~alts thereof. The element groups 4, 5 and 6 of the periodic table may also be u3ed a~ visco~ity-enhancing ~ubstances, and also : chemical compounds containing these elements.
The following compo~ition is given by way o~ example-1 kg 5X-aqueous ~olution of polyvinyl chloride 65 g CTMP ~unbleached pulp fibre) T~e components are thoroughly mixed.

The function performed by the inventive binder ~ub~tance will be evident to a large extent from the aforegoing. The polymer-based sub-gtance i9 mixed with fibre3 and, when appropriate, with a S viscosity-enhancing substance. Thus, when applied to the substrate ~urface concerned, the dust source, the binder substance will forM a more or less solid product, depending on the mixture of viscosity-enhancing substance, i.e. a product having a more or le~s pronounced gel character. This product then dries to form a stable film, which ;10 will not redis301ve. The resultant film i9 swellable in water and -will ~often slightly when exposed to wa~er over lDnger periods of time, such as during a prolonged period of rain, but will dry as soon as wateriny of the film ceases.
.
As will be under~tood from the aforegoing, the inventive binder substance provides a very suitable solution to the problem of elimin-ating the harmful effect of dust~generating material. The binder reinforcement provides a strong and tough covering surface. The binder sub3tance i9 influenced very slowly by outdoor environments and the like. The durability of the binder substance i9 influenced by ~:the ~ubstrate surface and the thickness to which the layer i~ applied.
The material beneath the binder substance, the film, i9 kept dry, i.e. protected from rain, therewith preventing leaching, which i9 essential when the material contain~ environmentally harmful sub-~tances. The diffusion ~f gas can take place 810wly through the film.
The film, however, is sufficiently dense to make rapid combu~tion of the material covered by the film impossible. Slower proce~ses, such as fermentation, however, can proceed beneath the film.
In the case of combustion, the binder substance produces carbon-dioxide and water and can be handled safely both in a wet and a dry state, and is cla~sified a~ ~afe goods for transport purposes.
, , The inventlon ha~ been described in the aforegoing with reference to an exempllfying embodlment thereof. It will be understood, howeYer, that other embodiments and minor modlfications can be made without departing from the inventive concept.

For instance, polymer-based substances other than polyvinyl alcohol can be u~ed as an alternative. Emulsions or ~u~pension3 of one or more of the followiny sub~tances can also be used:

Since a non-wetting layer of binder ~ubstance i~ most often desired, it is conceivable to include in the binder substance at least one surface-tension enhancing ~u~stance, such as a ~o-called foam-damping substance.
