Abstract:
To study the distribution pattern of drug dust in the antibiotic raw material drug powder screening workshop and improve the working environment, we used COMSOL Multiphysics 6.0 software to simulate and study the airflow distribution and dust transport law in the powder screening workshop. The results indicated that the dust in the powder screening workshop diffused rapidly with the airflow and reached a stable state at the 100th second. After the dust migrated to a stable state, the area with excessive dust concentration (dust concentration>6 mg/m 3) widely distributed, mainly distributed in the middle and lower parts of the wall opposite the air inlet from the rotary vibrating screen. The distribution of dust showed a characteristic of local aggregation, and dust transport was related to airflow movement, which was prone to aggregation in areas with low airflow velocity and eddy currents. On the plane of the human respiratory belt height (h=1.5 m), the concentration near the dust producing surface was high, with local concentrations exceeding 32 mg/m 3. It was the key area for dust prevention and control. And the working environment can be improved by changing the air flow distribution in the workshop or other dust reduction methods.
