Methodology of Risk Analysis of Endogenous Fire in Coal Mines

Abstract:

In coal mines one of the most serious safety problems are endogenous fires. Given the specific mining conditions a number of self-heating and spontaneous combustion occurs in coal mining. These activities have a negative effect on the organization of mining operations and require a variety of interventions for their disposal and are a considerable economic burden. At the same time in case of suitable conditions threaten of their transition in the explosion exists. For the application of appropriate measures it is necessary to know the size of the risk of endogenous fires in the coal mine. The paper therefore describes a methodology for risk analysis of endogenous fire in a coal mine, taking into account all relevant factors of production.
