SELECTED METHODS OF ROCK STRUCTURE DISINTEGRATION TO CONTROL MINING HAZARDS WYBRANE METODY DEZINTEGRACJI STRUKTURY SKAŁ DLA ZWALCZANIA ZAGROŻEŃ GÓRNICZYCHNatural hazards are inseparable element of underground mining, particularly of coal mining process. They are combated on a regular basis by many measures and effectiveness of these measures determines work safety in mines. Attempts to improve the effectiveness, presented in the paper is based on interference of seismic waves generated by blasting in a selected area of the rock mass and on modification of blasting technology. Preliminary results of detonating classical and new type of explosives in specific temperature and pressure conditions are analyzed. Theoretical and practical consideration of obtaining an interference effect of seismic waves is discussed. A device for making systems of starting notches and a construction of a chamber to test explosives are presented.Keywords: mining hazards, rock structure disintegration, blasting technology Nieodłącznym elementem podziemnego górnictwa, szczególnie węglowego, są zagrożenia naturalne. Ich zwalczanie jest codzienną praktyką, a jego skuteczność decydująco wpływa na bezpieczeństwo pracy. Przedstawione w artykule próby poprawy tej skuteczności obejmują badania efektu nakładania się w wybranym obszarze górotworu drgań generowanych robotami strzałowymi oraz informacje o próbach modyfikacji strzelniczych technik szczelinowania skał, a także wstępne wyniki badania charakterystyk eksplozji klasycznych i nowych materiałów wybuchowych w nietypowych warunkach temperatur i ciśnienia.Omówiono między innymi teoretyczne i praktyczne warunki uzyskiwania efektu interferencji drgań oraz przedstawiono urządzenie do wykonywania systemów tzw. szczelin zarodnikowych i konstrukcję komory będącej elementem stanowiska do badania MW.
This paper presents the results of testing the explosion effects of two explosive charges placed in an environment with specified values of confining pressure. The aim of this study is to determine the impact of variable environmental conditions on the suitability of particular explosives for their use in the prevention of natural hazards in hard coal mining. The research results will contribute to improving the efficiency of currently adopted technologies of natural hazard prevention and aid in raising the level of occupational safety. To carry out the subject matter measurements, a special test stand was constructed which allows the value of the initial pressure inside the chamber, which constitutes its integral part, to be altered before the detonation of the charge being tested. The obtained characteristics of the pressure changes during the explosion of the analysed charge helped to identify the work (energy) which was produced during the process. The test results are a valuable source of information, opening up new possibilities for the use of explosives, the development of innovative solutions for the construction of explosive charges and their initiation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
