mica

Mica is a rock-making mineral with a hexagonal flake crystal shape and is one of the main rock-making minerals. Mica crystals have a layered structure inside, so they are flaky crystals, dominated by hexagonal flake crystals. Usually bound to granite pegmatites, mica-like hybrids contain a certain amount of free silica between quartz and feldspar. The main silicon contained in pure mica is the bonded Si02. The characteristics are insulation, high temperature resistance, the most used in industry is sericite mica, widely used in coatings, paints, electrical insulation and other industries.

Mica dust hazards

Mica dust contains different levels of silica, and the degree of fibrosis varies. Long-term inhalation of mica dust by production workers can cause mica pneumoconiosis. Mica is an aluminosilicate such as potassium, magnesium, lithium, etc. Mica pneumoconiosis is a genus of silicate pneumoconiosis. Long-term inhalation of high concentrations of mica dust can occur mica pneumoconiosis, the incidence and progression of mica pneumoconiosis are relatively slow, the onset of working age is more than 20 years, generally no specific signs and symptoms. Mica mining workers pneumoconiosis, due to the high content of free SiO2 in the contact dust, its onset of short working age, rapid progression of lesions, patients feel more symptoms, mainly chest tightness, shortness of breath, cough symptoms increase with the period of aggravation.

How to strengthen respiratory protection

First look at the national standards, in accordance with the national standards for respiratory protection products issued by the State Bureau of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine and the National Standardization Administration, the units producing dust masks must obtain a production and operation license in accordance with the law, and all the production technical specifications for dust masks must meet the corresponding standards. The standard stipulates the production and technical specifications of respiratory protective equipment, and has strict regulations on the material, structure, performance, filtration efficiency, appearance, respiratory resistance, detection method, product identification, packaging, etc. of the dust mask, and the material must be non-irritating to the skin, non-allergic, and the filter material is harmless to the human body; the structure of the dust mask should be convenient to use.
