Abstract

Most of the dust control models indicate the line-curtain air reaching the face is limited and does not extend. Lower air quantity at the face helps in containing and concentrating the dust close to the face where no occupations are present. Hence, effective use of hydraulic sprays and directing the face dust-laden air into the scrubber may improve dust control. In this paper, we put forward a field testing of the modified scrubber-modified continuous miner demonstrated significant improvements in visibility and dust and quartz reduction, as compared to what was achieved with the current scrubber-current continuous miner dust control system. This is unfavorable from methane dilution point of view but can be used to advantage for improved dust control.
