Notes on Explosive Mine Gases and Dusts (Classic Reprint): With Special Reference to Explosions in the Monogah, Darr, and Naomi Coal Mines - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Unraveling the dangers of mine gases and coal dusts
This report analyzes explosive mine gases and dusts, with a focus on the Naomi, Monongah, and Darr explosions. It presents laboratory findings on how gas and dust behave, how they collect, and what makes a mine air profile dangerous. The work aims to improve safety and prevent future tragedies through careful study of gas release, dust ignition, and related conditions.
Readers will find practical insights drawn from early 20th-century investigations that connect field disasters to laboratory analysis. The book lays out methods used to sample mine air, interpret gas concentrations, and understand how pressure, ventilation, and rock movement influence gas storage and release. It also discusses how fresh coal dust differs from weathered dust in terms of flammability and explosion risk.
- How gases escape from coal under different conditions and over long time scales
- How dust characteristics affect ignition and explosion potential
- Experimental methods used to analyze mine gases and dusts
- Practical considerations for reducing explosion risk in both active and abandoned workings
Ideal for readers of mining history, safety professionals, and students of industrial science seeking a historically grounded view of mine explosion prevention.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the causes and dangers of explosive mine gases and coal dust, offering insights gained from the Naomi, Monongah, and Darr mining disasters in 1907. The author examines the dangerous combination of methane and coal dust in these mines and the factors that led to the buildup of these volatile substances. By analyzing samples of the mine atmosphere and studying the dust deposits, the author sheds light on the explosive potential of these elements, particularly when combined with the coal's rapid release of oxygen. The book delves into the relationship between seasonal change and the risk of coal dust explosions and emphasizes the crucial role of safety measures in preventing such disasters. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780428185916_0
