2020-6-25 Abstract –In view of mining, Ventilation is a major aspect of an underground mine, in which it is to control the atmosphere to support miner’s life and improve their efficiency. It leads to an increase the productivity and also to flush out the harmful and noxious gases to their permissible levels.
Read More2016-10-25 Efficient ventilation of underground mines consists in having such complete control of air currents that there is always supplied at places where men work sufficient moving air to allow working at maximum capacity without injury to health; and in case of underground fire or of surface fire in the vicinity of mine openings, underground air currents may be quickly reversed if desired, or air may be sent into or excluded from any region and fire fumes confined to only part of the mine
Read MoreVentilation of underground mines Underground mines of all sizes require a formal, planned ventilation system to deliver fresh air to all working places. Mine ventilation is the process of supplying sufficient fresh air to the U/G workings to achieve these purposes, ensuring proper distribution use of the air, and controlling the return to surface of contaminated air.
Read More2016-3-16 Most underground coal mines in India employ an exhaust (i.e. negative pressure) ventilation system. This project deals with the pressure and air quantity survey of an underground coal mine ventilation system at Nandira colliery, Talcher. The survey work has been carried out with the help of latest instruments at nearly forty stations.

Read More2019-6-28 Background. The main objective of an underground mine ventilation system is clear: to provide air flows in sufficient quantity and quality to dilute contaminants to safe amounts/concentrations where personnel are required to travel and work. This requirement is integrated into the mining law of those nations who possess that type of legislation. The degree of "quality' and "quantity" varies ...
