Download or read book New Ventilation Design Criteria for Underground Metal Mines Based Upon the life cycle Airflow Demand Schedule written by and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presently, mine ventilation systems are designed more towards the "worst-case-scenario" with respect to airflow demand, which usually occurs well in the future of a mine's operating life. Consequently, within the early stages of operation, the mines' intake air volume could be well in excess of their "true" ventilation needs. Such ventilation systems are inefficient and this design approach needs to change if Canadian mines are to remain competitive while attempting to reduce their carbon footprints. This thesis introduces a new method that can be used to evaluate the efficiency of large and complex underground ventilation systems. This new evaluation method is based upon the magnitude of a mine's potential "ventilation redundancy" that can be used to gauge the efficiency of its ventilation system. Two conventionally analyzed case studies presented in this thesis highlight the complexity and difficulty in determining the ventilation redundancy in large and deep metal mines. Challenges include gaining adequate data to assess the dynamic nature of the production activities that continually redefine where ventilation is required. To address this issue, this thesis introduces a novel method, where a multi-level mining block's activity based intake air volume is determined through discrete-event mining process simulation using AutoModTM. In accordance with the number of active mining blocks that will be required to achieve future production requirements, the mine's "traditional" and "activity based" life-cycle airflow demand schedule is subsequently determined. Furthermore, based upon the life-cycle airflow demand schedule the mine's primary and auxiliary ventilation systems are solved through ventilation simulation. The output data generated through ventilation simulation was then used to determine the economic and environmental benefits of an "activity based" ventilation system versus a "traditional" ventilation system. This new ventilation design concept, which is bas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers several aspects of the application of Sustainable Development Goals to mining related subjects. The included works range from methods to assess and implement sustainability to discussions of legal impacts and relations as well as technological developments and outlooks. First, the challenges and opportunities of clean energy transition in the African mining sector are described. With regard to the assessment of sustainable developments, this book includes the applications of the sieving method, the concept of thermodynamics and the United Nations Framework Classification to mining projects and case studies. The implementation of Sustainable Development Goals into academic project work and education of geo-engineers is covered as well. The legal topics contain discussions of corporate climate liabilities and extraterritorial legal responsibilities as well as an analysis of the impact of the German Federal Constitutional Court's climate decision. Important mining aspects and technological developments like proactive water management, sustainable approaches to mine closure and implementation of ventilation on demand in underground mines are described. In addition, the state and potential of the Mongolian raw materials industry is covered. The Sustainable Smart Mining and Energy Yearbook is not only aimed at researchers and professionals, but at all who want to get an overview of current important technical and legal topics in this field.

Download or read book Mine Ventilation written by S. Bandopadhyay and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2004-05-15 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the 10th US North American Mine Ventilation Symposium in Anchorage 2004 was to bring together practitioners involved in the planning and operation of underground ventilation systems, to provide a forum for debate and exchange of ideas, and to share information on the advances which have been made and consider problems which remain in the broad field of mine ventilation. The Mine Ventilation Symposium series has always been a premier forum for ventilation experts, practitioners, educators, students, regulators and manufacturers from around the world to exchange knowledge, ideas and opinions. This volume features over sixty selected technical papers from fifteen countries around the world including topics such as mine fires and explosions,case studies, diesel in underground mines, face ventilation, ventilation systems design, strata gas and control, ventilation and control systems, modeling and software development, dust generation, transport and control.
Download or read book Subsurface Ventilation and Environmental Engineering written by M.J. McPherson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 913 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has been written as a reference and text for engineers, researchers, teachers and students who have an interest in the planning and control of the environment in underground openings. While directed primarily to underground mining operations, the design procedures are also applicable to other complex developments of subsurface space such as nuclear waste repositories, commercial accommodation or vehicular networks. The book will, therefore, be useful for mining, civil, mechanical, and heating, ventilating and air-conditioning engineers involved in such enterprises. The chapters on airborne pollutants highlight means of measurement and control as well as physiological reaction. These topics will be of particular interest to industrial hygienists and students of industrial medicine. One of the first technical applications of digital computers in the world's mining industries was for ventilation network analysis. This occurred during the early 1960s. However, it was not until low cost but powerful personal computers proliferated in engineering offices during the 1980s that the full impact of the computer revolution was realized in the day-to-day work of most mine ventilation engineers. This book reflects the changes in approach and design procedures that have been brought about by that revolution. While the book is organized into six parts, it encompasses three broad areas.
