8/1/2007 - Peer reviewed journal articlesThis article focuses on U.S. Bureau of Mines (USBM) and NIOSH research to examine factors that had a significant influence on mine face ventilation design during the past century.

2/1/2007 - Conference papersThe fact that methane ignitions continue to occur at the mining face indicates that monitoring with machine-mounted methanometers does not always indicate the presence of high methane concentrations. Methane concentrations at the face change quickly du...

2/1/2007 - Conference papersDuring the 20th century, the increased emphasis on worker health and safety and the advent of new mining equipment and methods led to many changes in mine face ventilation practices.

6/1/2006 - Conference papersA cooperative research effort was established to lower respirable dust levels in an iron ore grinding and concentrator plant. The most significant improvement was realized by changing the ventilation profile throughout the entire facility. Another succe...

6/1/2006 - Conference papersThe Super Stopping is designed as a long-term permanent stopping for use in the main entries of the mine, while the EZ-Up Curtain Stopping, although very durable, is designed more for portability and ease of installation. This paper describes the design...

6/1/2006 - Conference papersA new protocol based on rigid arch loading of the structure is proposed to determine the true transverse load capacity of block stoppings. Tests show that load capability depends on the block's physical properties and the wall's geometric properties.

6/1/2006 - Book chapters, Information CircularsThis chapter gives guidelines for preventing methane gas explosions at continuous miner sections in coal mines, both at continuous miners and at roof bolters. The need to control peak methane emissions is particularly stressed. Emphasis is also placed...

6/1/2006 - Conference papersThis paper focuses on the flow patterns within the gob under three different ventilation systems: one-entry and two-entry bleederless systems, as well as a three-entry bleeder system.
-
6/1/2006 - Conference papersNIOSH research suggest that by incorporating ventilation planning into the mine planning process, using propeller fans, developing new stopping materials and construction methods, and using long pillars to eliminate crosscuts where possible, the ventila...

6/1/2006 - Conference papersNIOSH researchers have demonstrated that mine-wide ventilation in large-opening stone mines can be improved by using low-pressure, high-volume propeller fans and constructing stoppings in key locations to direct and control airflow.
