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...

Methane gas emission, accumulation, and explosion are the most important risk factors in underground coal mines. Hence, having a knowledge of methane gas emission potential in underground coal mines is of crucial importance in preventing the explosion risk, loss of life, and property, and providing miners' safety. The purpose of this work is to provide the prediction maps for the C1, C2, and B2...

tabas mines in iran have coal sources which are suitable for use in metallurgy industries as coking coal. but the high sulfur content of this coal imposes severe limitations on its utilization as the sulfur oxide gases evolved from the combustion of high sulfur coals result in acid rains and corrosion of equipments. in this work, attempts have been made to reduce sulfur from high sulfur coal of...

in the present study, an investigation was carried out on parvadeh coal mine in tabas, iran, to survey the effect of fractures on unusual methane gas emission in coal mines. this coal mine was chosen for investigating because of its high methane gas content in the coal body and available data from sensors in desired locations. gas concentration monitoring programs were carried out at the mine s...

Two hundred samples were taken from various sites in Iran, including coal storage areas, waste water in the Tabas and Zirab coal mines, and sulphur containing acid springs in Ramsar and Abask , and were screened for Thlobacillus ferruuxidans. During this investigation , seven strains were isolated which could oxidize sdphm , pyrite , thiosdphate and ferrous iron as the sole energy source. Macr...

Environmentally and technologically sulphur is a deleterious constitute in coal which makes it unsuitable for use in metallurgical industries unless the sulphur level can be reduced to the tolerable limit. Characterization of the various forms of sulphur and their associations in coal is an essential issue to find and propose a suitable desulphurization method. In this research, to evaluate sul...
