Abstract

The generation and transportation of airborne dust is governed mainly by the velocity and the movement pattern of the ventilation air in longwall faces. Generally speaking, the higher the air velocity, the more airborne dust will be generated and the further dust of a given size will be carried away from the source. In order to effectively prevent or reduce the production and spread of the airborne dust, the airborne dust concentration distribution at a longwall face must be known in advance. This paper presents the measurement methodology, data analyses and dust distributions in five longwall faces.
