Dust in coal mines presents both safety and health hazards. Control of airborne float dust (dust that contains particles up to 75 µm) is a critical strategy for mitigating explosibility hazards (Shahan et al. 2017), and control of respirable coal mine dust (particles < 10 µm) is critical for preventing occupational lung disease (Blackley et …
The study on eight frequently used air duct arrangements indicates that the mining dust filter achieved the best dust collection efficiency when the inlet of the extraction air duct and the outlet of the forced air duct were 3 m and 13 m away from the heading face, respectively. Under the optimum condition, the dust concentration can be ...
In this study we demonstrate the feasibility of end-of-shift measurement of α-quartz using a direct-on-filter (DoF) method to analyze coal mine dust samples deposited onto polyvinyl chloride filters. The DoF method is potentially amenable for on-site analyses, but deviates from the current regulatory determination of RCS for coal mines by ...
This review considers the use of filters to sample air in mining workplace environments for dust concentration measurement and subsequent analysis of hazardous contaminants, especially respirable crystalline silica (RCS) on filters compatible with wearable personal dust monitors (PDM). The review summarizes filter vendors, sizes, …
Equivalent concentration. The concentration of respirable coal mine dust, including quartz, expressed in milligrams per cubic meter of air (mg/m 3) as measured with an approved …
As a common device of removing particles from the air [9], fibrous filters have gradually become the main player in dust control for coal mines because they are …
Check against primary standard once per month or every 200 hours for coal mine dust sampling. Filter Cassette Assembly Zefon's Preweighed Coal Dust Sampling Cassettes consist of a sealed outer plastic capsule and an inner pre-weighed fi lter capsule. The inner capsule contains a 5 micron PVC fi lter, and
Technical parameters of mine dust removal bags: The filter fabric of the oil-proof bag is calendered and impregnated with PTFE and is used in applications with high humidity and temperature. The ...
However, the blank dust fall filters, submitted at the time of the collection in the Saginaw Hill area had a high aluminium concentration (mean=2994 μg/L) resulting in many non-detectable values after blank correction. The blank dust fall filters submitted at the time of the Dewey-Humboldt collection had a much lower concentration (mean=902 ...
Mine and quarry dust is often abrasive and particle impact against filter media needs to be considered to avoid possible filter damage. This requires consideration of incoming air velocity, dust distribution, and air patterns within the collector.

The objective of this article is to compare and characterize nylon, polypropylene (PP), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) membrane filters that might be used to replace the vinyl/acrylic co-polymer (DM-450) filter currently used in the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) P-7 method (Quartz Analytical Method) and the National Institute for …
In the last several years, a portion of the respirable coal mine dust characterization work has moved to characterizing ambient air samples on filters due to the many dust sources present in …
Fan dust filter effectively prevents dust and other debris from being sucked into miners, and also prevents water droplets from entering. ... Recently, many companies claiming to be mining companies imitate us and say that they are related to us, or that they are our branch companies, which has caused customers to be deceived. Please be careful ...
Therefore, it is important to accurately predict the filtration efficiency of fiber filters in the coal mine dust control. There are many models for air filtration, including …
Exposure to respirable dust has long been recognized as an occupational health hazard to coal mine workers [1, 2].Respirable crystalline silica (RCS) contained in the dust can be particularly hazardous [3,4,5].Indeed, RCS has been cited as a causal factor in a dramatic resurgence of severe and rapid lung diseases among coal miners in …
The dust exhaust hood is positioned above the driver position of the roadheader and connected to the inlet of the mining dust filter through the extraction air duct. Each section of the extraction air duct is 800 mm in diameter and 5 m length. The outlet of the mining dust filter is connected to the inlet of the extraction fan.
dust collectors, filter types, and cab volumes were also ascertained. Figure 1. Sampling Configuration. CALCULATIONS ... Mine B – RD Unit 78R5100 DCI 6261A4187-1 Donaldson Filter Mine C – RD fan & Cannister DCI 6261A4187-1 Donaldson Filter Mine D – Baldwin PA1681-FN filter in cannister on top of cab filters air
1.1.1. Airborne respirable dust samples are collected on preweighed membrane filters using MSHA/NIOSH approved personal respirable dust samplers as described in 30 …
The 37 mm diameter low-ash polyvinyl chloride filter cassette was used for collecting dust samples, while quartz-fiber filters were used for collecting DPM samples. ... eye is not a reliable means of detecting dangerous dust in the air.10 This poses a significant danger to underground mine workers. However, dust sampling instruments …
Mine dust bag Most of the dust in mines is moist dust. We at Huaji recommend that customers use matching moisture- and oil-resistant cloth bags, pad them...
Each filter cassette is supplied with a mine data card, which has the weight of the filter capsule recorded to the nearest 0.001mg, and a mailing carton addressed to the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA). Specified for use in coal mine dust sampling per 30 CFR part 74.
4.1. Spectroscopic Analysis Methods for Coal Mine Dust. The most common analytical methods for determining RCS in dust samples are infrared (IR) spectrometry and X-ray diffraction (XRD) [59,131–134]. Currently, IR is used for RCS analysis in coal dust [53,54], while XRD is used for RCS analysis in metal and nonmetal mining dust …
Dust in coal mines presents both safety and health hazards. Control of airborne float dust (dust that contains particles up to 75 µm) is a critical strategy for …
Fibrous-type filters are used to capture dust particles in mining and other occupations where personnel are exposed for prolonged periods. Dust cleansing devices including flooded-bed dust scrubbers use these mesh-type multi-layered filters. These filters trap dust particles efficiently on their surface and inside their mesh. However, …
The objective of the present study is to compare and characterize nylon, polypropylene (PP), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) membrane filters that might be used to replace the vinyl/acrylic co-polymer (DM-450) filter currently used in the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) P-7 method (Quartz Analytical Method) and the National Institute …
Miners can wear the portable CPDM for their entire shift. The device specifically measures respirable dust particles capable of embedding in lung tissue and …
In coal mines, the primary source of mineral dust is the top strata above the coal seam (Schatzel, 2009); in non-coal mines, silica is a component of the dust present throughout numerous mining processes (Cares et al., 1973; Cauda et al., 2013); and in the industrial sand mining sector, crystalline silica in the form of sand is the main product ...
