Prevention of gob ignitions and explosions in longwall mining using dynamic seals
Most, if not all longwall gob areas accumulate explosive methane-air mixtures that pose a deadly hazard to miners. Numerous mine explosions have originated from explosive gas zones (EGZs) in the longwall gob. Since 2010, researchers at the Colorado School of Mines (CSM) have studied EGZ formation in...
