First in-Lab Testing of a Cost-Effective Prototype for PM2.5 Monitoring: The P.ALP Assessment Open
The goal of the present research was to assess, under controlled laboratory conditions, the accuracy and precision of a prototype device (named ‘P.ALP’: Ph.D. Air-quality Low-cost Project) developed for PM2.5 concentration level monitoring…

Dust Suppression Hopper reduces dust liberation during bulk loading: Two case studies Open
After industrial sand has been mined and processed, the finished product is typically loaded into small bags of 45 kg (100 lb) or less, large bulk bags of 454 to 1,361 kg (1,000 to 3,000 lb), or vehicles such as trucks or trains for transp…

Reducing float coal dust: Field evaluation of an inline auxiliary fan scrubber Open
Controlling float coal dust in underground coal mines before dispersal into the general airstream can reduce the risk of mine explosions while potentially achieving a more effective and efficient use of rock dust. A prototype flooded-bed s…

Comparison of coarse coal dust sampling techniques in a laboratory-simulated longwall section Open
Airborne coal dust generated during mining can deposit and accumulate on mine surfaces, presenting a dust explosion hazard. When assessing dust hazard mitigation strategies for airborne dust reduction, sampling is done in high-velocity ven…

Sampling and analysis method for measuring airborne coal dust mass in mixtures with limestone (rock) dust Open
Airborne coal dust mass measurements in underground bituminous coal mines can be challenged by the presence of airborne limestone dust, which is an incombustible dust applied to prevent the propagation of dust explosions. To accurately mea…
