1. Introduction. Bangladesh owns a very small reserve of oil and coal, although its natural gas reserve is significant (Moazzem, 2019).The source of energy for commercial consumption in the country is mainly based on natural gas (around 66 %), and is supplemented by oil, hydro-power, and coal (Halder et al., 2015; Hossain and Tamim, …

A risk assessment technology based on a fuzzy Bayesian network is proposed to improve the degree of gas control management in the coal mining face and avoid gas overrun. Five characteristics of ...

A Coal Mining Risk Assessment is needed for most new development within the Development High Risk Area of the coalfield and your local planning authority will usually require one to support your planning application. To check if you will need a Coal Mining Risk Assessment please visit our website or contact us using the details overleaf. 11% …

The prevention and control of gas explosion accidents are important means to improving the level of coal mine safety, and risk assessment has a positive effect on eliminating the risk of gas explosions. Aiming at the shortcomings of current risk assessment methods in dynamic control, state expression and handling uncertainty, this …

Risk assessment in underground coal mines has been a topic of great interest for a long time, with the analysis of risks due to various physical hazards. 31 Rockfall risks can be divided into two types according to the location where the damage occurred: the intense working areas near the active faces and the remainder of the mine, …

1. Introduction. Coal bursts are one of the most formidable hazards in underground mines. They are described as the dynamic failure of coal or rock mass involving a sudden release of strain energy, which causes violent material ejections at mine openings. 1, 2 In recent decades, coal bursts have occurred frequently in most mining …

Since 2010, YPH Coal Mine has been equipped with a Seismic Observation System called "SOS" designed by the Central Mining Institute of Poland, which can capture vibration signals with energy larger than 100 J, a frequency of 1~600 Hz, sampling rate of 500 Hz, and less than 30 dB (anti-interference ability) and record vibration monitoring of …
