Respirable coal mine dust (RCMD) particles, particularly the nano-sized fraction (< 1 μm) of the RCMD if present, can cause severe lung diseases in coal miners. Characterization of …

Occupational lung diseases such as coal worker's pneumoconiosis, often called black lung, are caused by exposures to respirable coal mine dust. Dust composition is increasingly …
Float dust deposits in coal mine return airways pose a risk in the event of a methane ignition. Controlling airborne dust prior to deposition in the return would make current rock dusting …
Float coal dust is produced by various mining methods, carried by ventilating air and deposited on the floor, roof and ribs of mine airways. If deposited, float dust is re-entrained …
Human-Centered Design for Mining Equipment and New Technology first introduces Human- Centered Design (HCD) and outlines the benefits of this approach for mining equipment and …
The work was carried out during an exchange program of several-months at the Colorado School of Mines (CSM) in Golden, Colorado. The goal of the thesis was to investigate scaled …
Controlling float coal dust in underground coal mines before dispersal into the general airstream can reduce the risk of mine explosions while potentially achieving a more effective …
To measure the concentration of dust particle, we must know the scattering characteristics of light in the dust, and the backscattering has a non-negligible impact on the monitoring of …
