Many references to coal mining in England and Scotland and on the European continent began to appear in the writings of the 13th century Coal was however used only on a limited scale until the early 18th century when Abraham Darby of England and others developed methods of using in blast furnaces and forges coke made from coal
In order to predict gas explosion disasters rapidly and accurately this study utilizes real time data collected from the intelligent mining system including mine safety monitoring personnel positioning and video surveillance Firstly the coal mine disaster system is decomposed into sub systems of disaster causing factors disaster prone environments and
IntroductionUnderground blast design refers to the careful planning and execution of blasting operations in underground mining environments It involves determining the appropriate explosive materials initiation sequence drill patterns and other parameters to achieve desired outcomes such as controlled rock fragmentation safe excavation and efficient
China to probe coal mine production capacity CRI Updated 2006 12 01 19 14 China s National Development and Reform Commission NDRC has issued an urgent notice announcing a planned re
ABSTRACT When a large area of open gob collapses suddenly a windblast is produced that can cause considerable damage throughout the infrastructure of a mine In a few cases the windblast has been accompanied by ignitions of methane and/or coal dust Analytical and numerical analyses investigated the transient behavior of the air through the small time
2 The ratio of waste material to ore or coal moved in a defined period Stope An underground void formed by the mining of ore as distinct from development Surface Mine Refer to open cut mine T Trim Blast A blast designed to reduce damage and backbreak to the rock left behind Usually used against the final or interim walls in a hard rock
As outlined in a recent online Solid Ground article by Sandvik the Mafube opencast coal mine in Witbank a 50 50 joint venture between Anglo American and Exxaro Resources was one of the first operations globally to invest in an automation ready DR412i blasthole rig in 2018 with which it is now getting impressive Designed for dependable
According to the Chinese Coal Mine Accidents Report 2006 2014 the major accident categories in Chinese coal mines include gas explosions coal and gas outbursts roof falls flooding fire and haulage SACMS 2018 The obvious question is which accident categories are most likely to occur in Chinese underground coal mines
4 Explosion proof led high bay lights usually mounted on ceilings are perfect blast proof lighting for locations with high ceilings Ex LED Linear Lighting Linear lighting is an upgraded version of industrial lights With a newly designed structure it has more versatile mounting methods Methane often comes with the coal mining process
At the same time mines safety control agencies responsible for blasting and explosives need reasonable appropriate and technologically established and supportable blast vibration damage criteria on which to base their regulations 13 14 15 Finally neighbours around the mining operations require really protection of their property and
Casting design for bench blasting in surface coal mines is a new focus and a fairly recent success This study aims at the development of a mathematical model to predict the throw of overburden material based on geological conditions of a bench and charges in blast holes The procedure derived on the basis of blasting theories and dynamics of the multiple particle system explores
Electrical equipment can cause explosions in coal dust atmospheres when located in coal conveyor galleries transfer towers head chute flop gate bunkers coal preparation system/crusher house
system of an underground coal mine is a serious problem that should be solved however little research has been performed in the field of WSNs in underground coal mine A node protection system should not only meet the requirements of the underground coal mine normal explosion proof hardly affecting the quality of commu
In underground coal mines major accidents can be triggered by coal dust and methane gas explosions and erecting immediately a row of explosion proof stoppings in front of the existing ones This installation was to be supervised by the rescue team A similar low intensity blast occurred at about 7 30 PM on the same day Analysis of

The explosion strength could be influenced by the crushed coal gangue which is widely distributed in coal mine gob and roadway To understand the influence of the coal gangue on gas explosion an
According to the actual field test parameters of coal seam #3 in the Sanyuan coal mine Dlim = was the coal rock crushing area Dlim = was the coal rock crack area and Dlim
: Vibration and air blast noise from blasting were evaluated during a research program sponsored by the US Bureau of Mines Blast variables were studied using small scale model SCM tests to evaluate specific variables as well as interactive effects followed
The blast struck the coal mine in Tabas about 540 kilometers 335 miles southeast of the capital Tehran on Saturday night On Sunday weeping miners stood alongside mine cars that brought up the bodies of their colleagues covered in coal dust
This paper discusses the propagation behavior of blast induced ground vibration in the open pit mine and study by means of field experiments and numerical simulation In addition the measures for reduction of blast induced ground vibration are also discussed by means of numerical simulation in this study
This process was further aided by considering factors like potential adjacent coal mines for coke supply of iron smelters or areas within surrounding zones of mineralization such as faults
