Operations of mining are large industrial scale in nature, with significant environmental impacts. The industry generates and produces wastes containing high concentrations metals metalloids which highly toxic destructive to the immediate landscape environment. In addition, continued use traditional methods intensifies emission products that not friendly ecosystem.. Even regulated controlled si...

In this work, a safe Coal Mine Monitoring system which replaces the traditional coal mine monitoring systems which tend to be wired network systems. This play an important role in coal mine safe production. With continuous enlarging of exploiting areas and extension of depth in coal mine, many laneways become monitoring blind areas, where are lots of hidden dangers. Moreover, it is inconvenient...

background : in china, over 80% of all work-related deaths in the mining industry occur in coal mines and human factors constitute 85% of the direct causes of coal mine accidents, which indicates that significant shortcomings cur-rently exist in the safety behavior management of chinese coal mine workers. we aimed to verify the impact of human psychological behavior in coal mine accidents syste...

It is very important to detect a collapse hole for coal mine workers. The possibility of detecting the collapse hole using WSN is presented, because the tunnel in coal mine is narrow and the poor working condition. Comparing three types of the hole detection methods, it is seen that the connectivity based methods are used to detect coal mine collapse better than other methods. By establishing a...

One of the main concerns of an underground coal mining engineer is the safety and stability of the mine. One way that the safety and stability can be ensured is to know and understand the coal mine geology and how it reacts to the mining process. One technique that has shown a lot of success in the coal mining industry for geologic technical evaluation purposes is the coal mine roof rating (CMR...

In this paper, by analyzing the coal mine safety accident of present stage, the author has come to a conclusion that the safe accidents on coalface accounting for a lot of coal mine safety accident, and has brought forward the cause leading to this phenomenon. Then, through the discussion about “Overlying Strata Movement Law”, this author has suggested that Electronic Business can be used for t...

We proposed a novel ray-tracing based radio waves propagation (RTRWP) Law suitable for under-tunnel complex coal mine workface. The energy consumption model evaluation in complex coal mine workface is derived. Theoretical analysis about calculating the multiple reflections of the radio waves in coal mine workface is also provided. Computer simulations and field tests in workface tunnels show th...
