This book was released on 2018-02-13 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Series of Coal-Dust Explosion Tests in the Experimental Mine Soon after the Organization Of the technologic branch Of the United States Geological Survey, J. A. Holmes, then chief Of the branch, concluded that for the solution Of various problems relating to the causes and prevention of mine explosions it would be best to carry on large-scale tests in a mine rather than in a surface gallery. The idea Of utilizing the underground passage of a mine for making explosion experiments did not at first meet with general approval among investigators in this country or abroad. Many thought a mine passage was not a proper place in which scientific tests could be conducted, as great difficulty in controlling conditions was expected. However, after all arguments for and against such an investigation had been carefully considered, plans for Opening an experimental mine were definitely adopted by the Bureau Of Mines in 1910, and an allotment Of funds was made to carry out the project. The first endeavor was to find an existing mine suitable for the purpose, but the mines Offered by owners were either worked out, were wet, had poor roofs, or presented complications Of various kinds, so that it was finally decided to Open a mine if a site could be Obtained having natural conditions that would fill the various requirements.

Download or read book Explosions in Underground Coal Mines written by Jianwei Cheng and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the hazard of gas explosions in sealed underground coal mines, and how the risk of explosion can be assessed, modeled, and mitigated. With this text, coal mine operators and managers will be able to identify the risks that lead to underground mine gas explosions, and implement practical strategies to optimize mining safety for workers. In six chapters, the book offers a framework for understanding the sealed coal mine atmosphere, the safety characteristics that are currently in place, and the guidelines to be followed by engineers to improve upon these characteristics. The first part of the book describes the importance and characteristics of underground gas mine explosions in a historical context with data showing the high number of fatalities from explosion incidents, and how risk has been mitigated in the past. Chapters also detail mathematical models and explosibility diagrams for determining and understanding the risk factors involved in mine explosions. Readers will also learn about safety operations, and assessments for the sealed mine atmosphere. With descriptions of chapter case studies, mining engineers and researchers will learn how to apply safety measures in underground coal mines to improve mining atmospheres and save lives.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Accidents in Mines: Their Causes and Prevention I have endeavoured, by collecting all the informa tion into one volume, to bring before the public, as seen by those who are engaged professionally as mining engineers, the subject of the number of lives lost in working coal, and the sources of accident which might be prevented. It may be fairly asked (1) whether the principles of Davy's lamp hold good when the atmospheric pressure is as great as it is in the deep coal mines; and (2) what effect the vibrating waves of sound may have on the flame within the lamp when the Mp is surrounded by an explosive mixture of gas.

This book was released on 1947 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Widespread explosions in coal mines can be prevented if rock dust of suitable size and composition is applied effectively within two or three cuts of face; distance between end of rock dusting and face should never exceed 80 feet. Water should be used on cutter bar of mining machines, and coal piles and should not only be wetted after blasting but kept wet during landing.

This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Primer on Explosives for Coal Miners, Vol. 255 The accidents resulting from the improper use of explosives in mining can be most certainly prevented (1) through the use of the best and safest explosives; (2) through the handling and firing of these explosives in the safest manner by carefully selected and trained men; and (3) through the strict and competent oversight of these men. This little book on explosives is published in the hope that it may aid in preventing such accidents. The aim has been to tell what explosives are and how they should be handled, with a view to greater safety; and to do this in language free of unnecessary technicalities. It has been prepared by Charles E. Munroe, con sulting chemist, and Clarence Hall, explosives engineer of the Bureau of Mines. It has been revised in the light of suggestions made by the mining engineers associated with the bureau, by several mine managers, by experts associated with the manufacture of explosives, and by Col. B. W. Dunn, chief of the bureau for the safe transporta tion of explosives, who has also kindly added a brief chapter on the transportation of explosives. Much of the information in this primer has been obtained from experiments conducted by the technologic branch Of the United States Geological Survey at the mining experiment station at Pitts burg, Pa. This station, which is now part of the Bureau of Mines, was authorized for conducting investigations as to the causes of mine explosions. These investigations have shown the recent development of a new type of short-flame explosives, which can be used with greater safety than black powder in mines where there is dangerous gas or inflammable dust, because the flame from the explosion of black powder lasts from to times as long as does the flame from these newer explosives, and is therefore more likely to ignite the gas or dust in such mines.
