Presenting contributions from a group of renowned researchers from North America, this book contains the proceedings of the 11th US/North American Mine Ventilation Symposium held at Pennsylvania State University in June 2006. Two main topics of special interest discussed rigorously in this reference are coal mine methane capture and utilization and diesel issues for underground and surface mines. In addition to these main topics, other contributions address mine dust, mine fires, ventilation in large-opening mines, and numerous other topics exploring recent advances in mine ventilation technology and practice. |

| Publisher Description: This volume is the eleventh in a series which documents the technical papers of the mine ventilation symposium, which was initiated in 1982 by the Underground Ventilation Committee of the Society for Mining, Metallurgy, and Exploration, Inc. In more recent years, the event has expanded to include all of North America and is known as the US/North American Mine Ventilation Symposium. The US/North American Mine Ventilation Symposium 2006 designated 'Coal Mine Methane Capture and Utilization' and 'Diesel Issues for Underground and Surface Mines' as topics of special interest. Numerous papers discussed these two topics, and there were presentations on mine dusts, mine fires, ventilation in large-opening mines, and numerous other ventilation topics. The symposium was supplemented by short courses on state-of-the-art in diesel emissions technology, computer analysis of ventilation circuits, personal dust monitoring, and methane capture technology. In addition, field trips to mines, research facilities, and methane gathering sites were offered to participants of the symposium. The book is of special interest to practitioners, educators, and researchers in the field of ventilation of mines, tunnels, and other underground facilities. Includes a CD-ROM of the proceedings. |
