8/1/2006 - Conference papersNIOSH conducted a study of the explosibility of various metals and other elemental dusts dispersed in air to aid in understanding dust cloud combustion and in evaluating the explosion hazards in the minerals and metals processing industries.
-
8/1/2006 - Conference papersNIOSH and MSHA conducted joint research on dust explosions by studying post-explosion dust samples of high and low volatile bituminous coals collected from full-scale explosions at NIOSH's Lake Lynn Experimental Mine and from laboratory explosions.
-
6/1/2006 - Conference papersMSHA's reports and mining database were analyzed, and interviews and observations with mine workers and welders were conducted to determine the root causes of coal mine fires and explosions caused by flame cutting and welding operations.
-
6/1/2006 - Conference papersNIOSH and MSHA conducted joint research to evaluate explosion blast effects on mine ventilation stoppings at NIOSH Lake Lynn Experimental Mine. Results will aid in determining explosion forces that damage stoppings during actual coal mine explosions.
-
6/1/2006 - Conference papersThis paper describes the development of reservoir models for the longwall mining environment and their application for investigating the influence of various completion design parameters on the methane drainage effectiveness of gob gas ventholes.
-
3/1/2006 - Conference papersNIOSH is conducting full-scale tests at its Lake Lynn Experimental Mine to evaluate/improve remote mine seal construction technology, focusing on technology to completely close the mine opening, & reporting results from use of grout-based materials.
-
2/1/2003 - Conference papersReports on NIOSH full-scale experiments to evaluate the explosion-resistant characteristics of several new seal designs for rapid deployment during mine emergencies.
-
2/1/2002 - Conference papersOver the years, more than 20,000 mine seals have been erected in underground coal mines in the United States. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health is conducting research to develop design guidelines, to investigate noninvasive tech...

6/1/2001 - Conference papersA project to evaluate the South African bagged stone dust explosion barrier was successfully completed at the NIOSH Lake Lynn Experimental Mine.
-
1/1/2001 - Conference papersThis paper provides a brief overview of the ongoing study to evaluate the use of these chambers for pressure loading of full-scale seal designs using compressed air, water, or internal gas explosions.
