How to protect miners from coal mine dust: 2018 report

Dust explosions can cause severe damage and fatalities. When ignition sources enter hazardous areas, heat and pressure may trigger explosions—an ongoing risk across any industries that store, handle, or process materials. The Cygnus 1 Ex is certified safe to use in locations where there is a risk of fire or explosion due to the presence of ignitable or flammable substances in the air at concentrations high enough to produce an ignitable mixture. This includes gases, vapours, and dust.

Pulverised limestone (calcium carbonate) is called rock dust and commonly pneumatically conveyed and applied to mined coal to prevent coal dust explosions. It is used because it is inert and does not burn, dilutes coal dust to reduce its explosibility, and helps suppress ignition and flame propagation by forming a coating on coal surfaces. It is also inexpensive, readily available, and safe to handle. Feel free to share your insights on pneumatic conveying in the mining industry in the comments below.

❗ Are You Grinding Away Your Profits Without Even Knowing It? In mineral processing the biggest losses often hide in plain sight in the "fines" you thought you were managing. That’s the focus of my ongoing series "How Fine Is Fine Enough?", where I explore the hidden costs of classification and grinding inefficiencies. 🔹 Part 1: Hydrocyclones vs High-Frequency Screens – why misplaced fines slip through the wrong stream. Read here ➡️https://lnkd.in/eHU_39_U 🔹 Part 2: Overgrinding = Lost Recovery – how slimes increase energy use, reagent costs, and even create hydraulic challenges in CIL/CIP. Read here ➡️https://lnkd.in/eeeX2ZcY 🔹 Part 3: The Cost of Misclassification – why sending particles to the wrong stream hurts both recovery and plant economics. Read here ➡️https://lnkd.in/eSZevS9i 💡New articles in the series are coming soon. Until then ask yourself: Are your fines working for you or against you? #Mining #MineralProcessing #GrindingCircuits #Classification #FineScreening #ProcessOptimization #EnergyEfficiency #Flotation #CIL #CIP #IronOre #GoldProcessing #Pelletizing #GreenSteel
