1.1 About the Industrial Activity

Stone Crushing activity is a significant industrial sector across the country involved in production for crushed stone of various sizes depending upon the requirement and catering requirement of raw material for various construction activities such as construction of Roads, Railway tracks, Highways, Bridges, Buildings, Canals etc. The existing number of stone crushing units is expected to grow rapidly further in view the growing demand for development of infrastructure such as roads, canals and buildings. The process involved in crushing large size stone boulders into different size of crushed stones depending upon the requirements in the demand sectors. The important stages involved in stone crushing activity are primary crushing, screening, secondary/ tertiary crusher, screening, conveyance, storage of raw boulders and crushed stone and transportation of both ROM & crushed stones. The raw material i.e. raw stone boulders are obtained from mining of the stone from quarries and hand picking etc. Typical process of stone crusher is briefed as below: Mined Stone

Transportation to crusher site Raw Material hopper Primary crusher

Tertiary crusher

Primary vibratory screen Secondary vibratory screen Products to stockpiles

Secondary Crusher Products to stockpiles Transportation to user end

STONE CRUSHERS

Various types of crushers are used in the stone crushing industry such as Jaw Crushers, Roller Crushers, Cone Crushers, Impactor, Rotopoctor etc. Generally, only Jaw crushers are used as Primary crushers. For secondary and tertiary crushing application either of Jaw, cone, roller, Impactor or Rotopoctor type crushers are used.

1.2 Typical Sizes of Stone Crushers

There are large variations in the types of stone crusher setup across the country depending on geographical locations, type of demand for crushed products, closeness to urban areas, type of raw material, availability of plant and machinery locally etc. Primarily the stone crusher industry sector could be divided in three categories small, medium & large. The typical characteristics of each category of stone crushers are briefly discussed below Small size crushers stone Typically the stone crushers with a production capacity ranging from 3 to 25 TPH. This category crusher have only one Jaw type crusher used as primary or secondary crusher along with one or maximum two screens Medium size stone Typically the crushers having more than one crusher i.e. one primary crushers and one secondary or one/two primary and two secondary crushers along with one or more vibratory screens are categorized as medium size crushers. Medium size stone crushers will have a production capacity in the range of 25 - 100 TPH Large stone crushers Typically having two or more numbers each of primary, secondary and tertiary type crushers with at least two or more vibratory screens with mechanized loading, unloading conveying operations and producing more than 100 TPH crushed stones.

1.3 Unit Operations and Technologies

The different unit operations and technologies are briefly described in the following table: Crushing technologies Various types of crushers are used in the stone crushing industry such as Jaw crushers, Roller crushers, Cone crushers, Impactor, Rotopoctor etc. Generally, only Jaw crushers are used as primary crushers. For secondary and tertiary crushing application either of Jaw, cone, roller, Impactor or Rotopoctor type crushers are used. Screening Screening is generally classified into two types (i) Coarse screening, technologies which is achieved through Grizzlies, Vibratory screens, Revolving screens or Shaking screens and (ii) Fine screening which is achieved through vibrating screens, shaking screens. Material handling Various types of material handling technologies are used in the stone technologies crushing industry for the purpose of moving the stones from one equipment to other, right from the point of raw material unloading up to stockpiles of products. Primarily, feeders and conveyors are used in almost all crushers.

5.0 Sources of Emissions
The typical emission sources during the stone processing are given in the following table Activity Mining Transportation Stone crushing Process sources Drilling Fugitive dust sources Blasting Loading and hauling Haul roads Stockpiles Conveying

N/A Crushing Screening Conveyor transfer points Table 5.1 Emission sources

Emissions during mining activity Fugitive emissions are generated during various mining activities such as drilling, blasting, excavation, breaking and loading etc. Emissions during transportation During transportation of mined stones by heavy vehicles like trailors, trucks, dumpers, fugitive dust emission occur due to movement of heavy vehicles on earthen roads Emissions during crushing operation During crushing operation, generation of particulate emissions is inherent and the emissions are most apparent at crusher feed and discharge points. The greater the reduction in size during subsequent crushing stages from primary, secondary to tertiary crushing, the higher the emissions. Emissions during screening Forceful movement of the crushed stones in the screening process releases fine dust, this dust gets air borne as fugitive dust emissions. The released dust particles escape from the openings around the screen as well as from the bottom of discharge locations. The screening of fines produces higher emissions than the screening of coarse sizes. Emissions during material handling In the material handling section, various handling devices like feeders, belt conveyors, bucket elevators and screw conveyors are used to transport crushed materials from one point to another. Particulates may be emitted from any of the material handling operations.

Activity Anticipated pollution Loading & unloading Dust emissions due to inter collision between large size stone of ROM boulders. Conveyance The transit moment of the crushed stone from one point to another and return of the screen rejects, contributes for fugitive dust emissions Stockpiles Free fall dust along with the screened stone chips/powder from the conveyor belts and hoppers contributes huge quantity of fugitive emissions Handling of crushed The fine dust adhered to the crushed stone gets released during the stones manual/mechanical loading and unloading stages

5.1 Typical Emission Factors

The typical particulate emission factors for various stone processing operations as per the USEPA are given in the following table: Process operation Uncontrolled emission factor, kg/ton 0.25 and 0.75 Percentage Contribution 4.5 13.6 54.5 9.2 18.2 100

4. Storage piles and Bins

Stone crusher enclosures shall be rigid and be fitted with selfclosing doors and close-fitting entrances and exits. Where conveyors pass through the crusher enclosures, flexible covers should be installed at entries and exits of the conveyors to the enclosure All vibratory screens shall be totally enclosed in housing. Screen houses shall be rigid and reasonably dust tight. Where conveyors pass through the screen house, flexible covers should be installed at entries and exits of the conveyors to the housing. Where containment of dust within the screen house structure is not successful then a dust extraction and collection system should be provided All grizzlies shall be enclosed on top and from 3 sides and sufficient water sprayers shall be installed at their feeding and outlet areas For better environmental protection practices, the energy efficiency and production efficiency must be maximized. For this purpose effective belt scraper such as the pre-cleaner blades made of hard wearing materials and provided with pneumatic tensioner, or equivalent device, should be installed at the head pulley of designated conveyor as required to dislodge fine dust particles that may adhere to the belt surface and to reduce carry-back of fine materials on the return belt. Bottom plates should also be provided for the conveyor unless it has been demonstrated that the corresponding belt scraper is effective and well maintained to prevent falling material from the return belt Except for those transfer points which are placed within a totally enclosed structure such as a screen house, all transfer points to and from conveyors should be enclosed. If the dust not remain confined with in the enclosure water spraying system should be installed to ensure that the dust go out Openings for any enclosed structure for the passage of conveyors should be fitted with flexible seals Wherever feasible, free falling transfer points from conveyors to stockpiles should be fitted with flexible curtains or be enclosed with chutes designed to minimize the drop height. Water sprays should also be used to prevent the dust from going in to air The surface of all surge piles and stockpiles of blasted rocks or aggregates must be kept sufficiently wet by water spraying All open stockpiles for aggregates of size in excess of 5mm must be kept sufficiently wet by water spraying. The stockpiles of aggregates 5mm in size or less must be suitably covered to ensure that the same is not carried away (or

Annexure 3 Plantation/Greenbelt Development Guidelines Copy of circular No. F. 14 (4) RPCB/plg/Policy/5804 to 5825 dated 15/07/2004 Entry no. 37 of schedule-I of Environment (Protection) Rules 1986 has stipulated that in respect of stone crushing units, the concerned unit would be required to grow a green belt along the periphery. The Board has also incorporated a condition of 33% of the units area as being required to be covered by plantation, while granting consent to these units to operate under the Air (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act 1981. However the number of trees, species etc and the manner of their plantation have not been specified by either the Board or the Environment (Protection) Rules, 1986. In view of the difficulty being experiences in implementing this requirement, following clarification is hereby issued 1. Trees shall necessarily be planted along the periphery of the area in rows. The unit may also take up additional plantation in other available open areas such as along the road, on unused land etc. 2. The computation of the area under plantation shall be done on the basis of the following norms: i. Trees species like Neem, Pipal, Jamun, Gulmohar etc. shall be deemed to cover 25 M2 areas on maturity ii. Shrubs like Guava, Pomegranate, Jungle Jalebi etc. shall be deemed to cover an area of 9 M2 on Maturity The area likely to be covered by the plants mentioned above shall be computed accordingly. The herbs which require continuous watering for their maintenance shall not counted to meet the norms though the can be planted by the management as per their need

Illustration: In case of 10 no. of trees like Sehtoot, Siris, Shisham, Babool; 5 no. of Shrubs like Eucalyptus, Ashok, Ber Kair and 20 no of Herbs like Rose, Mehandi, Duranta, Merigold are planted the total area under plantation shall be computed as follows Area covered by trees = 10x 25 = 250 m2 Area covered by shrubs = 05x 09 = 045 m2 Area covered by herbs = 20x 00 = 000 m2 Total Area 295 m2

NO. 17 Dated: 23.03.2001 BOARD RESOULUTION NO. 185-3-1, DT.16.03.2001

Stone crushers are small scale industries with low capital investment (varying between Rs. 5 to 10 lakhs). Stone crushing in India is basically a labour intensive operation where the loading of stones into the crusher, conveying the product material from separating screens, loading and unloading operations are performed manually. The production capacity of stone crusher varies from 30-300 T/day (8 hours operation). Since the life of a quarry will be a number of decades, many such operations that were originally located in undeveloped or rural areas may eventually be surrounded by residential developments with house owners complaining about dust settling on their property, thus causing societal implications. Development of greenbelt around the stone crushing unit is a measure to abate air pollution problems caused by the stone crushing units. To start with Tamilnadu Pollution Control Board in co-ordination with Tamilnadu State Forestry Research unit, Kolapakkam has proposed to develop a greenbelt in a crushing unit located at Thirukatchur Village, Kattankulathur Panachayat Union, Kancheepuram District. This unit is on the National Highway and close to Tamilnadu State Forestry Research Unit, Kolapakkam. The stone crushing unit has also come forward to provide fencing around the proposed greenbelt and to meet the expenditure in connection with maintenance charges at a minimum level. Rising of greenbelts with right types of species can serve as useful buffer to contain the menace of pollution from different sources. The Tamilnadu Pollution Control Board has proposed to develop greenbelt in a stone crushing unit in Kancheepuram District. This will serve as a model unit for the entire stone crushing units in Tamilnadu. The cost estimate based on the Tamilnadu State Forestry Research Institute for the study is as follows:

77

STONE CRUSHERS

1. Cost of raising and planting trees including Pitting & planting etc. (1169 Nos.) 2. Supervision fee for one year 3. Labour wages for 150 days

Rs. 76,926.00 Rs. 7,800.00 Rs. 9,585.00 -----------------Rs. 94,310.00 ------------------

The total cost works out to Rs. 94,310.00 The above proposal was placed before the Board in its meeting held on 16.3.2001. the Board considered the proposal and decided to approve the proposal of Greenbelt development in the private stone crushing units in Kancheepuram District at total cost of Rs. 94,310/- and to execute the same through Tamilnadu State Forestry Research Institute and to meet out the expenditure from the Board funds. This would serve as a model for other stone crushing units for the nearby districts and for the trainees coming to the ETI of the Board. The work progress may be supervised by O/o. District Environmental Engineer, Kancheepuram District, Tambaram in Co-ordination with ETI, Chennai.

The above table provides the approximate number of locations where water spray needs to be applied. The size of the nozzles and water quantity sprayed at each location may vary depending on the capacity of the crusher, higher the crushing capacity bigger would be the spray size and higher water consumption. In general the water quantity sprayed would be in the range of 0.5 to 1% of the crushing capacity (for example, for 20 TPH crusher 1% water equals to 200 Lit/Hr)
