Abstract
Mine fire is a very common and serious problem in mining engineering, and often causes casualties, equipment losses, mine shutdown, resource destruction, and even sulphide dust explosion. So it is of vital importance to monitor mine fire in the engineering projects in order to prevent
economic losses and casualties. Actually, we have done a lot of engineering projects on mine fire monitoring and have seen a variety of monitoring systems in underground metal mines. Unmodestly speaking, we are experts in this field, therefore, in this viewpoint paper, we mainly introduce
a few mine fire monitoring methods and technologies according to our practical engineering experience, especially the ZigBee WSN technology and sensors. And in the end of the paper, we have explained “Why is ZigBee WSN technology the best choice in the fire monitoring in the underground
metal mines at the present stage?”.
期刊介绍:
The growing interest and activity in the field of sensor technologies requires a forum for rapid dissemination of important results: Sensor Letters is that forum. Sensor Letters offers scientists, engineers and medical experts timely, peer-reviewed research on sensor science and technology of the highest quality. Sensor Letters publish original rapid communications, full papers and timely state-of-the-art reviews encompassing the fundamental and applied research on sensor science and technology in all fields of science, engineering, and medicine. Highest priority will be given to short communications reporting important new scientific and technological findings.
