Abstract

Abstract Coal is the major source of power in India and world over. Coal mining is an essential industry which has a major role in the economic development of the country. Most major mining activities contribute directly or indirectly to air pollution. Coal dust is a major air pollutant which affects the personal working in the mines and also people residing in villages near the mines. Air pollution due to coal particulates can affect human health and cause damages to the environment. Hence effective pollution control mechanisms are needed to keep the pollution levels within permissible levels. The easiest and most common method employed for dust suppression worldwide is sprinkling of water. In majority of mines, water sprinklers are operated manually and can lead to wastage of water due to over sprinkling. It can also prove to be ineffective in dust suppression if sprinkling is not done properly. The paper proposes a system which can be deployed to automate the dust suppressions sprinklers. The system will monitor the concentration of PM 10 and PM 2.5 in the air and initiate sprinkling operation when the particulate matter content exceeds preconfigured limits.

露天矿在线降尘系统

煤是印度和世界各地的主要能源。煤矿开采是国家经济发展的重要产业。大多数主要的采矿活动都直接或间接地造成空气污染。煤尘是一种主要的大气污染物，不仅影响煤矿作业人员，也影响煤矿附近村庄居民。煤颗粒造成的空气污染会影响人体健康，对环境造成破坏。因此，需要有效的污染控制机制，将污染水平控制在允许的水平之内。世界范围内最简单和最常用的降尘方法是洒水。在大多数矿山中，洒水器是手动操作的，由于过度洒水会导致水的浪费。它也可以证明是无效的粉尘抑制，如果洒水做得不好。本文提出了一种可实现自动降尘喷头的系统。该系统将监测空气中pm10和PM 2.5的浓度，并在颗粒物含量超过预设限值时启动喷洒操作。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Coal Science & Technology is a peer-reviewed open access journal that focuses on key topics of coal scientific research and mining development. It serves as a forum for scientists to present research findings and discuss challenging issues in the field. The journal covers a range of topics including coal geology, geochemistry, geophysics, mineralogy, and petrology. It also covers coal mining theory, technology, and engineering, as well as coal processing, utilization, and conversion. Additionally, the journal explores coal mining environment and reclamation, along with related aspects. The International Journal of Coal Science & Technology is published with China Coal Society, who also cover the publication costs. This means that authors do not need to pay an article-processing charge.
