Rock dusting Mining 1: A. The dusting of underground areas with powdered limestone to dilute the coal dust in the mine atmosphere and on the mine surfaces, thereby reducing explosion hazards.b. A very widespread control measure used in coal mines to combat explosive dusts. By machine, inert (combustible) dust is sprayed, dry or wet, on the roof, floor, and ribs in all working places and haulageways, to reduce the explosibility of settled coal dust. The Mine Safety and Health Administration requires rock dusting to within 40 ft (12 m) of the face. The incombustible content of settled dust samples after rock dusting must constitute 65% or more by weight, with an increase of 1% for each 0.1% methane present. A dust as nearly inert, physiologically, as possible, should be employed in rock dusting; limestone (calcium carbonate) is most widely used. (references)
    2: The dusting of underground areas with powdered limestone to dilute the coal dust in the mine atmosphere thereby reducing explosion hazards. (references)
Stone dusting Mining The systematic distribution of stone dust along mine roadways to cover the coal dust and reduce its flammability. Although stone dusting may not always stop an explosion, it is less violent with stone dusting than without. Safety regulations in many countries require that stone dust be applied either mixed with the coal dust along mine roadways or as stone dust barriers, to reduce the liability of coal-dust explosions.
