Methods and compositions for suppressing fugitive dust are provided herein. To suppress fugitive dust, particulate materials, dust and or substrates can be treated with a mixture having a hydrophobizing agent and an oil. The hydrophobizing agent can be an organo- or halosilane, a tallow alkylamine, an amine-functionalized polysiloxane, or an amine-functionalized hydrophobic polymer.

Oil-based dust suppression composition and method of use

An aqueous slurry composition for use in industries such as petroleum and pipeline industries comprises an aqueous liquid, particulates, a hydrophobizing agent that renders the particulate surface hydrophobic and a hydrophobic polymer. The slurry is produced by rendering the surface of the particulate hydrophobic during or prior to making the slurry. The method and composition can find many applications in different industries, particularly in petroleum industry.

Aqueous slurry for particulates transportation

Described is a proppant composition comprising particulates coated with a polymeric coating comprising a polymerizable natural oil, and a method of making this composition. The polymerizable natural oil is a glyceryl ester that comprises greater than about 40% by weight of polyunsaturated fatty acids, or a derivative of this ester. The proppant composition is made by mixing particulates with a polymerizable natural oil and polymerizing the polymerizable natural oil to coat the surface of the particulates with polymer comprising polymerized natural oil. The composition may be used in a slurry that is used for hydraulic fracturing operations to improve proppant transportation and to mitigate proppant flowback.

Proppant treatment with polymerizable natural oils

An aqueous slurry composition for use in industries such as petroleum and pipeline industries, such as for use as a fracturing fluid. The aqueous slurry composition includes a particulate, an aqueous liquid and a chemical compound that renders the particulate surface hydrophobic. The slurry is produced by rendering the surface of the particulate hydrophobic during or prior to making the slurry.
