Coal dust is a great threat to coal mine workers' health and safety in coal mine production. Wet dust removal is one of the effective dust removal methods. As a solid, coal has different rough surfaces, which have a certain effect on the wetting effect of coal. In this paper, three coal samples with different surface wettability are used as the research objects. Phase-field interface tracking method is used to simulate the wetting of droplets on rough surfaces. From the simulation results, it can be concluded that the influence of the rough interface on the contact angle of the droplets is in accordance with the change rule described in the Wenzel model. As the roughness increases, the contact angle of the hydrophilic lignite surface gradually decreases. As the roughness increases, the contact angle of hydrophobic coking coal gradually increases. The change trend of the contact on the surface of weakly hydrophilic anthracite coal is the same as that of lignite. Due to the local and global differences, the contact angles obtained from the numerical model are slightly different from the values calculated from the Wenzel model.
