11/1/1997 - Technology NewsA method is described for allowing operators to predict methane emissions from panels with increased face width.
-
2/1/1997 - Conference papersDeeper surface mining and deeper highwall penetration depths have lead to more frequent encounters with methane gas. While this coal is remotely mined from the surface, underground ignitions of methane have propagated to the surface and injured miners. ...

2/1/1997 - Conference papersResearch was conducted to investigate how ventilation of a mining face is affected when scrubber flow is greater or less than intake flow.
-
1/1/1997 - Conference papersTraditional techniques to experimentally determine toxic fumes produced by detonating high explosives are not applicable to blasting agents. To detonate properly, blasting agents require confinement, a significant booster, and other parameters.
-
1/1/1996 - Reports of InvestigationsPittsburgh Research Center conducted experiments with mine conveyor belt samples in a 20-L furnace and in a laboratory fire tunnel to measure and compare the major toxic gas concentrations evolved during the combustion of the materials.
-
3/1/1995 - Technology NewsThe absence of fundamental scientific and engineering principles in the design and placement of gob gas ventholes can cause difficulties for mine operators when gas emissions increase because of a change in mine design or because variable geologic condi...
-
1/1/1995 - Reports of InvestigationsThe U.S. Bureau of Mines has constructed a smoke chamber and developed sensitivity tests for smoke detectors. Evaluation of six smoke detectors showed their potential for use as mine fire sensors or as part of a mine atmospheric monitoring system.
-
1/1/1995 - Reports of InvestigationsThis U.S. Bureau of Mines study examined spontaneous heating episodes in coal mine pillars in an active underground coal mine. The objective of this study was to discover if the location of future events of pillar spontaneous heating could be inferred ...
-
1/1/1994 - Reports of InvestigationsProduction trends were analyzed for 82 gob gas ventholes on 7 longwall panels in the Lower Kittanning Coalbed, Pennsylvania.
-
1/1/1993 - Reports of InvestigationsCatalyzed diesel particulate filters (CDPFs) reduce the concentration of diesel particulate matter (DPM) and may reduce the emissions of carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbons (HC) in diesel exhaust.
