Abstract
Applying a polyhydric alcohol anti-dust agent, such as glycerol, to inorganic particulate materials reduces the formation of dust during processing and handling. The anti-dust agent is particularly effective for reducing dust formation in fertilizers such as disintegrating sulfur fertilizer (DSF), without interfering with the useful disintegration or other useful properties of the fertilizer.
