But tracking the presence of coal ash in dust has been a challenge for scientists. Until now. Researchers at Duke University and the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill have developed a new forensic tracer that uses lead isotopes to detect coal fly ash in dust and other solids, including soil and sediments.
Online and AtLine elemental analyzers are used to measure the composition of coal in realtime and proactively address process variations to ensure more consistent coal blends. The analyzer mounts around an existing conveyor belt or adjacent to a main conveyor with an inline coal sampling unit to continuously monitor coal quality.
The labs large scale direct shear test frame (300,000 pound axial and shear forces) with programmable control is used for biaxial testing on rock, concrete, and soil samples. The sample size can vary from 1 inch diameter rock cores to 14 inch square concrete blocks. Safety Research Coal Mine and Experimental Mine
Longwall Miner. Twenty percent to 30 percent of mined coal underground is from longwall mining. This is performed by a mechanical cutter that shears coal off from a panel on the seam. The panel being worked on may be up to 800 feet in width and 7,000 feet in length. Mined coal is deposited onto a conveyor that moves the coal to a collection area.
New tests can detect tiny but toxic particles of coal ash in soil. Scientists at Duke University have developed a suite of four new tests that can be used to detect coal ash contamination in soil ...

Thermal infrared remote sensing technology is widely used for the identification of coal fire areas, peatland combustion, forest fire, etc. [10,11]. Typically, the first step of this technology to detect coal fires is to invert the surface temperature, and then certain rules are utilized to extract the thermal anomalies on the land surface.
Coal is the most abundant fossil fuel on Earth. Its predominant use has always been for producing heat energy. It was the basic energy source that fueled the Industrial Revolution of the 18th and 19th centuries, and the industrial growth of that era in turn supported the largescale exploitation of coal deposits. Since the mid20th century, coal has yielded its place to petroleum and natural ...

Coal mining is the process of extracting coal from the ground or from a mine. Coal is valued for its energy content and since the 1880s has been widely used to generate electricity.
Strain Gauges Strain gauges are used to measure the stress and strain on various structures, such as the roof and walls of a coal mine. These sensors can detect small changes in the structure's deformation, which can indicate potential caveins or collapses.

Vast domains including Machine Learning and Deep learning are core part of AI (Patel et al., 2020a, Patel et al., 2020b; ... Soil moisture sensors use one of the several technologies used to measure the soil moisture content. ... UAVs could be used in order to detect abnormalities and identify potential problems. Psirofonia et al. (2017) 3.
Swetha et al. (Citation 2020) developed an RGB imaging method that can predict soil texture using a deep learning algorithm [convolutional neural network (CNN) model].The development of RGBbased soil imaging is in the beginning stage, but in the future, it could help to further improve soil nutrient status management using HSI and sensorbased ...
Further, a change detection technique is used to detect active, new, and closed surface coal mines in a region. Detected closed mines are further analysed to evaluate reclamation of that region.
Large foreign object transporting by coal mine conveyor belt may lead to production safety hazards. To reduce safety accidents during coal mining, a large foreign object detection method based on machine vision is proposed in this paper. An adaptive weighted multiscale Retinex (MSR) image enhancement algorithm is proposed to improve the captured image quality of the belt conveyor line. An ...

Based on this, taking the Beijing area as the research object, the deep learning regression network (DNNR) with big data fitting capability was proposed to construct a soil moisture prediction model. By integrating the dataset, analyzing the time series of the predictive variables, and clarifying the relationship between features and predictive ...
The coal pulverizing system is an important auxiliary system in thermal power generation systems. The working condition of a coal pulverizing system may directly affect the safety and economy of power generation. Prognostics and health management is an effective approach to ensure the reliability of coal pulverizing systems. As the coal pulverizing system is a typical dynamic and nonlinear ...
