Freshwater is a scarce resource that continues to be at high risk of pollution from
anthropogenic activities, requiring remediation in such cases for its continuous use. The …

Emulsion explosives (EE) have been commercially available in various forms for over 50
years. Over this period, the popularity and production technology of this class of energetic …

Ventilation on demand (VoD) is a method applied to underground mine ventilation systems
to maintain safety while reducing fan energy consumption. VoD considers the changes in …

The adsorption of SO2, NO2, and NH3 toxic gases on Al24N24 and Al24N23C nanocages
was investigated by using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The adsorption …

The rapid and efficient elimination of CO by-products in mining and tunneling blasting
operations poses a significant challenge. In this study, an in-situ synchronous elimination …

The admissible concentrations of toxic fumes, which appear after blasting works in open pits
and underground mine excavations, are presented in this paper. Fumes were examined …

Conjugated polymer (CP)-based organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) have been
considered a potential sensor platform for detecting gas molecules because they can …

Post‐blast fumes are hazardous and known to cause severe health related issues of
workers. Further, these harmful gases have a significant impact on the surrounding …

During the initial process of mining a longwall working face, it is often found that the roof will
not collapse readily, which increases the risk of later roof collapse disasters. Explosive and …

One impact of blasting activities is the release of toxic fumes capable of disturbing living
creatures around the blasting zone. Fumes are affected by several factors, including …
