Updating the aerodynamic resistance for subsurface ventilation

For the safety works in the mines good ventilation is one of the main requirements. For miners’ performance, the subsurface ventilation creates healthier and more hygienic conditions. Mine ventilation has always belonged to the field of mining. Moreover, nowadays the mining operations progress to greater depths, shafts are deepened and the under-level mining space develops. This brings an increase in the temperature of rocks, mine air gets heated due to the technologies used and, thus, it is necessary to pay constant attention to mine ventilation. The knowledge of aerodynamic resistance becomes crucial for the good ventilation and ventilation planning. The article describes updating and complementing the aerodynamic resistance of the powered coalface supports, dam and wind structures and auxiliary ventilation components

Effect of natural pressure drop in mine main ventilation

Natural ventilation in a mine is ventilation without the use of means of artificial ventilation. The flow of mine air is induced by the difference between the mass column in an intake and that in a return. The difference in mine air density is a result of difference between the temperature of intake air and that of return air. To a certain extent, the influence of differences in mine air humidity and chemical composition can act as well. Gassy mines in the Czech Republic and Ukraine are ventilated merely artificially, i.e. by means of exhaust ventilation. However, even in the case of this type of ventilation, when the total mine air flow is produced by fans, a natural current of air exists and acts in the ventilation network of the mine.Web of Science59250850

Results from dealing with rock and gas outburst prevention in the Czech Republic

In the Czech Republic, the prevention of rock and gas outbursts is carried out in the course of driving mine workings in seams and in sandstone and conglomerate beds classified into a category with the highest degree of rock and gas outburst hazard. It is a case of active methods that aim at prevention of rock and gas outbursts by creating a protection zone in front of and in sides of mine workings being driven and passive methods that mitigate the effects of outbursts (Hudeček et al., 2009, 2010). In this article, authors present recommendations and proposals for changes in rock and gas outburst prevention. These proposed changes should reflect in increased efficiency in coping with this anomalous geomechanical events.Działania w celu zapobiegania wybuchom skał i gazów w Republice czeskiej podejmowane są już na etapie drążenia wyrobisk w złożach oraz w piaskowcach oraz w pokładach zlepieńców sklasyfikowanych jako lokalizacje o najwyższym stopniu zagrożenia wybuchami skał i gazów. W tym przypadku mamy do dyspozycji metody aktywne, których celem jest zapobieżenie wybuchom skał i gazów poprzez stworzenie strefy ochronnej w części czołowej i bocznych częściach wyrobiska oraz metody bierne, mające na celu złagodzenie skutków wybuchu (Hudecek et al., 2009, 2010). W artykule autor rekomenduje i zaleca dokonanie pewnych zmian w systemie zapobiegania wybuchom skał i gazów. Proponowane zmiany skutkować powinny zwiększoną skutecznością działania w przypadku wystąpienia zjawisk geomechanicznych uznawanych za anomalie.Web of Science58378777

Obliczanie stężenia metanu w rejonie przodka

The Paskov Mine belongs to the company OKD, a.s. with the production of hard coking coal from 1970. The applied mining method is the slabbing method in controlled caving, excavating the coal pillar by means of coal plough equipment loading mine run on rake conveyers and securing the excavation area with individual hydraulic or mechanical supports. The coal face is planned as one of the coal faces in continuous extraction of the seam by a shearer. Using the shearer at mines in the Paskov Mine is not a novelty. Shearer mining represents some problems. Besides the hazard of methane-air ignition, there is a mixture of coal dust – methane – air, which is more dangerous even in the case of lower concentrations of dust and methane than their individual lower limits of explosiveness. A decision was made then that shearers would gradually be replaced with coal ploughs in all coal faces. The article contains the calculation of the volume of methane emitted as a result of excavation, determining methane concentration during excavation, lowering the hazard of methane layers being formed, and finally evaluating the suitability of the proposed system of the coal face ventilation.Kopalnia Paskov należy do zakładów OKD, gdzie od lat 70-tych trwa produkcja węgla koksowniczego. Stosowana metoda wydobycia to wybieranie ścianowe grubych pokładów z prowadzeniem stropu na zawał, eksploatacja filarów przy użyciu strugów węglowych z załadunkiem urobku na przenośniki, zabezpieczenie rejonu wydobycia z wykorzystaniem obudowy zmechanizowanej oraz podpór hydraulicznych. Wydobycie w rejonie przodka odbywa się metodą ciągłą, przy użyciu wrębiarek. Wykorzystywanie wrębiarek do wydobycia ścianowego nie jest nowością w kopalni Paskov, jednakże wykorzystywanie ich w kopalniach powoduje pewne problemy. Oprócz zagrożenia zapaleniem mieszanki metanu i powietrza, powstaje również mieszanina pyłu węglowego, metanu i powietrza, która okazuje się bardziej niebezpieczna nawet przy niskich stężeniach metanu i pyłu niż ich obecność w postaci pojedynczych składników w stężeniu odpowiadającym niskiej skłonności do wybuchu. Podjęto więc decyzję o stopniowym zastępowaniu wrębiarek przy eksploatacji przodków strugami węglowymi. W pracy dokonano obliczenia objętości metanu wydzielanego w wyniku prowadzenia wydobycia, określono stężenia metanu w trakcie prowadzenia prac, przeanalizowano możliwość zmniejszenia zagrożenia powstawania warstw metanu oraz efektywność promowanego systemy wentylacji przodka.Web of Science611938

Measuring the metallurgical supply chain resilience using fuzzy analytic network process

The article presents a methodology for measuring the metallurgical supply chain resilience, which enables the ascertainment of key resilience capabilities and measurable criteria, and determining a level of the resilience. The methodology is based on Analytic Network Process (ANP), which is used to solve the complex decision-making problems, whose structures can be mapped as non-linear networks. Since ambiguous pairwise comparisons expressed by fuzzy sets are considered, the Fuzzy Analytic Network Process (FANP) is applied. The methodology is verified on the generalised model of a metallurgical supply chain. The SuperDecisions software was used for the application. The experiments performed demonstrate the high level of suitability of the FANP approach for measuring metallurgical supply chain resilience.Web of Science55478678

Environmental Effects among Differently Located and Fertile Sites on Forest Basal-Area Increment in Temperate Zone

Environmental properties differently influence the growth of forest tree species. The antagonistic effects of variable environmental properties classify the forest response according to various tree compositions among different sites. The division of the forest response was assessed in 52 stands arranged into 26 types of 13 site management populations (MPs) in 5 areas in the Czech Republic territory. The assessment was performed using time-series multiple regressions of basal-area increment from pure immature stands of Norway spruce (Picea abies), Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris), oaks (Quercus sp.), ash (Fraxinus excelsior) and willows (Salix sp.) dependent on the interpolated average temperatures, annual precipitation, atmospheric concentrations of SO2, NOx and O3 and soil properties over the period 1971-2008 at p < 0.05. Site MPs differentiated the forest response to a greater extent than tree species. The response of the forests was significantly distributed by means of the montane, upland and waterlogged sites. The multiple determination index (r2) GREATER-THAN OR EQUAL TO 0.6 indicated an adaptable tree increment but an interval of r2 between 0.80-0.92 implied forest sensitivity to variability in environmental properties on non-waterlogged sites. The index r2 < 0.6 suggested a fluctuating forest increment that reflects environmental variability inconsistently. The fluctuating increment most affected the spruce and pine stands grown from upland to submontane locations. Montane spruce stands, as well as rock pines, appeared to be one of the most sensitive ones to environmental change. Floodplain forests seemed as adaptable to variable environmental properties.O
