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 measure the coal portion of this mixed airborne dust, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) developed a sampling and analysis ...
Isokinetic sampling is widely used in dust and particle measurements in power plants, furnaces, kilns, and scrubbers. Ambient air pollution measurements also make use of this method. Other applications in coal-fired power plants include sampling of pulverized coal and sampling steam to check the purity before in enters the turbine.

Keywords: Mine Dust, Coal, Dust Sampling, Dust Testing 1. Introduction Underground coal mines face the danger of methane and coal dust explosions. The disaster at Upper Big Branch Mine (2010) has demonstrated the impact of a violent coal dust explosion that fatally injured 29 miners. Reviewing the history of coal dust explosions,
National standard methods specify the use of a gravimetric personal sampler for coal mine dust and the pyrophosphate method for the determination of free silica content (Shen et al., 2013). Medical Surveillance. In 2002, a national law went into effect for the prevention and control of occupational diseases (National People’s Congress, 2016).
Manual coal sampling method. One coal sampling from the truck method is diagonal sampling by the coal trucks, we also called that three-sampling-point sampling method. The beginning point and end point should be set in a position which away from the truck 5 meters, and the third point should at the center position. Then digs 0.4 meters and ...

01-01-2016· 1. Introduction. During mining of seams of mineral rawmaterial, air is polluted with dust. Dust is moving together with the ventilation air (Bhaskar, 1986) and it settles at the wall and equipment in the excavation (Nawrat et al., 2002, Prostański, 2015).Dust presented in the ventilation air poses a risk to health and it has negative influence on working conditions.
Results with a prototype instrument suggest that it over-samples by about 10 per cent compared with the Mre and Simgard gravimetric dust sampling instruments. Simpeds has been designed to satisfy safety requirements for use in British coal mines, where it could be used for research purposes.

5 Optimizing Monitoring and Sampling Strategies. In response to the committee’s statement of task (see Appendix A), the preceding chapter of this report discussed the efficacy of current monitoring technologies and sampling approaches for respirable coal mine dust (RCMD) in U.S. mines, which are primarily driven by regulatory requirements.The statement of task also calls for the committee to ...
The gravimetric sampling of dust of an airborne nature is not only the internationally acceptable method of determining dust concentrations but is in general use in South Africa. While the Departmetn of labour advocates the sampling method, they do not have thierown sampling guidlines or established method and use that devised by the Department of Minerals and Energy whenever dust of ore or ...

Moreover, the effort put into dust sampling wouldnot be used as effici-ently as it might be unless the results of the time studies were available beforehand to suggest the proper distribution of the work.

2 Dust sampling methodology 2.1 Directional dust sampling Ambient dust was sampled with DustScan directional gauges, which use the ‘sticky pad’ method for dust monitoring. Sticky pad dust monitoring was popularised in the UK by Beaman and Kingsbury [10, 11]. The method is widely W www.witpress.com, ISSN 1743-3541 (on-line)
NIOSH 0600 recommends sampling rates of 1.7 Lpm or 2.5 Lpm (depending on the type of cyclone used), for a maximum of 400 liters. INHALABLE (INSPIRABLE) DUST SAMPLING. A different type of sampler called the IOM has been designed to collect inhalable (inspirable) dust (50% cut point of 100 microns) and offers an uncomplicated method of sampling ...
