    Mine Ventilation

    Uploaded by

    Rasdino Winata
    Mine ventilation is needed to (1) bring fresh air and oxygen for miners underground and (2) remove harmful gases like methane, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide. There are three main types of mine ventilation: ventilation tubes which are inexpensive but can be easily cut; vertical ventilation shafts which are more expensive but circulate air all day; and refrigeration units which are very expensive but provide ventilation for deep mines and circulate air continuously.

    Mine Ventilation
    * Why do we need mine ventilation?
    Bringing fresh air and enough amount of oxygen
    for labors breathing.
    Get rid of harmful gases, e.g. CH4, SO2, CO &
    CO2.
    * When do we need ventilation?
    In case of underground mines.
    Types Mine Ventilation 3 There are

    Ventilation tube
    They are made of plastic (PVC or poly vinyl chloride).
    Diameter ranges from 30 to 50 cm.
    Supported to ceiling using metal rings.
    Air is brought from outside using air-pumps.
    Advantages: 1) Easy to use and
    2) Inexpensive
    Disadvantage: Easy to be cut
    Ventilation tubes
    Fresh and polluted air goes through two parallel
    vertical shafts.
    Air is brought from outside and from inside the mine
    using air-pumps.
    Advantages:
    1) Gives good
    ventilation
    2) Circulate air
    all-round-
    the clock
    Disadvantage:
    Expensive
    Vertical ventilation shafts
    Electrical refrigeration units put in the underground in
    a mine level, in a certain chamber.
    Depends also on the theory of air circulation.
    Advantages:
    1) Gives good
    ventilation for deep mines
    2) Circulate air
    all-round-
    the clock
    Disadvantage:
    1) So expensive
    2) Units are huge and should be disintegrated before
    going down
