[ 1 ] - Applying rock engineering systems (RES) approach to evaluate and classify the coal spontaneous combustion potential in Eastern Alborz coal mines

Subject analysis of the potential of spontaneous combustion in coal layers with analytical and numerical methods has been always considered as a difficult task because of the complexity of the coal behavior and the number of factors influencing it. Empirical methods, due to accounting for certain and specific factors, have not accuracy and efficiency for all positions. The Rock Engineering Syst...

[ 2 ] - Environmental impact assessment and sustainability level determination in cement plants (Case study: Shahrood cement plant)

Focusing on environmental impact assessment as a new tool to determine the harmful effects of projects on the environment is very necessary. The establishment of cement plants in Iran is accompanied by huge investments that aim to create jobs and have others economic aspects; this trend is on the rise. However, cement plants contribute to environmental pollutions. Therefore, understanding the e...

[ 3 ] - Determination and assessment of coal bed methane potential using rock engineering systems

The presence of methane in coal mines is one of the major problems in underground coal mines. Every year, in underground coal mines, a lot of casualties due to outbursts and explosions of methane gas is occurring. Existence of this gas in the mines not only creates a difficult and dangerous situation for work but also makes it more expensive. The release of this gas to the air causes a further ...

[ 4 ] - بررسی تأثیر ماسرال ها در نفوذپذیری زغال سنگ های معادن پروده و طزره

در دهه­ های اخیر موضوع انتشار گاز در معادن زیرزمینی زغال­سنگ در بسیاری از کشورها موضوع بسیار مهمی است. عوامل متعددی در انتشار گاز موجود در لایه­های زغال­سنگ تأثیر دارند. از جمله این عوامل می­توان به ساختار فیزیکی و زمین­شناسی زغال­سنگ اشاره کرد. هم­چنین ترکیبات مینرالوژیکی زغال بر نفوذپذیری آن­ برای انواع مختلف گازها مؤثر است. در این تحقیق به بررسی ارتباط بین ترکیبات ماسرال زغال و نفوذپذیری آن ...

[ 5 ] - Studying Relationship between Coal Intrinsic Characteristics in Spontaneous Combustion of Coal Potential Using Crossing Point Temperature Test Method

Spontaneous combustion of coal is one of the most horrifying hazards in coal industries, especially in underground coal mines. Thus having a prior knowledge about the occurrence of this phenomenon in underground coal mines is of crucial importance in preventing this process, loss of life, huge economic loss, and environmental pollution. The aim of this work is to determine the spontaneous combu...

[ 6 ] - Effect of maceral content on tendency of spontaneous coal combustion using the R70 method

Spontaneous coal combustion (SCC) is one of the significant hazardous phenomena in underground coal mines. The tendency of spontaneous coal combustion is an intrinsic property, due to the presence of the maceral content. Unlike its importance, this matter has not been discussed in detail among the researchers. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the effect of this parameter on SCC. Macera...

[ 7 ] - A comprehensive study on the effect of moisture content on coal spontaneous combustion tendency

There are several phenomenons for polluting the environment, especially in coalfields; which coal spontaneous combustion is one of them. The moisture content is one of the intrinsic characteristics of coal, which has an important role in the occurrence of this phenomenon. Therefore, this research predicts the coal spontaneous combustion tendency based on moisture content. The percentage of mois...
