• Evaluation of LIDAR as a Novel Remote Dust Sensing Technology
  10/22/2016 - Research projects
  A project to evaluate the feasibility of using Light Detection And Ranging (LIDAR), a remote sensing technology based on laser reflection, as a dust monitoring tool in the mining industry.
• Inaccuracy of Area Sampling for Measuring the Dust Exposure of Mining Machine Operators in Coal Mines
  2/1/2002 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  This study examines the accuracy of area sampling for measuring the dust exposure of mining machine operators at coal mine working faces. The work was prompted by the development of a prospective new type of dust sampling instrument called the machine-...
• Airborne Dust Liberation During Coal Crushing
  6/1/2001 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  This paper describes laboratory experiments in a wind tunnel with a roll crusher to identify relationships among crushing parameters, product size, coal rank properties and airborne dust generation.
• Rapid Sampling of Products During Coal Mine Explosions
  2/1/1991 - Peer reviewed journal articles
  This paper describes a U.S. Bureau of Mines investigation of large-scale coal dust explosions in an experimental mine using a high-speed electropneumatic mechanism for rapid grab-sampling of gases and dusts and shows the benefits of the technique.
