Devices for measuring ventilation parameters and methane concentration as well as concept of complex monitoring of methane hazard in longwall area
Journal Title: Mining – Informatics, Automation and Electrical Engineering - Year 2017, Vol 529, Issue 1
Abstract
This paper discusses the issue of the methane hazard occurring in the longwall areas of hard coal deep mines along with ways of overcoming this hazard. The authors describe devices for measuring the parameters of the underground environment in the exploitation area. Then, they present the results of tests to determine the methane hazard level in the longwall area. The parameters of ventilation-, absolute-, and criteria-methane-bearing capacity are determined based on online measurements of ventilation and gas parameters. The presented results are the effects of the European project AVENTO (Advanced tools for monitoring ventilation and methane emission).

High-speed optical methane concentration meter with the dust compensation of mine atmosphere
We tested an optical-absorption methane concentration meter for coal mines conditions. We studied conversion characteristics and evaluated its speed performance and proposed a method of dusty coal mines air multiplicativ...
Underground mine as a system of processes
The underground mine is a mixed system where a complex system of processes is implemented with the aim of mineral extraction. This article presents a generalized model of a system of underground mine processes consistent...
Analysis of cutting picks trajectory and cutterhead vibrations of roadheader with use of high-speed cameras
In order to identify the behavior of cutting picks during the process of mining with the use of a roadheader’s cutterhead, an optic system has been employed. The main elements of the system were high-speed cameras. In co...
