Abstract
Mine fire is a very common and serious problem in mining engineering, and often causes casualties, equipment losses, mine shutdown, resource destruction, and even sulphide dust explosion. So it is of vital importance to monitor mine fire in the engineering projects in order to prevent economic losses and casualties. Actually, we have done a lot of engineering projects on mine fire monitoring and have seen a variety of monitoring systems in underground metal mines. Unmodestly speaking, we are experts in this field, therefore, in this viewpoint paper, we mainly introduce a few mine fire monitoring methods and technologies according to our practical engineering experience, especially the ZigBee WSN technology and sensors. And in the end of the paper, we have explained “Why is ZigBee WSN technology the best choice in the fire monitoring in the underground metal mines at the present stage?”.
