Industrial coal dust
1. What is Coal Dust?

Coal dust is a finely pulverised coal product used in foundries, metallurgical industries, refractory production, fuel blending and other industrial processes. In foundries it is commonly used as a sea coal additive in moulding sand to improve casting surface finish and reduce defects.
