OSTI ID:5300218
Although longwall mining offers a number of advantages such as high productivity, improved safety, and higher coalbed recovery, longwall operators are experiencing great difficulty in consistently complying with the federal dust standard of 2 mg/m/sup 3/. Because of the severe problem which the coal mining industry is experiencing with longwall dust control, a systematic evaluation and demonstration of currently available and new dust control technology is needed. This contract is concerned with the evaluation of air sprays and foam systems for dust control on double-drum longwall shearer faces.
