英文原文 Recent Developments and Practices to Control Fire in Undergound Coal Mines S. K. Ray* and R. P. Singh, Central Mining Research Institute, Barwa Road, Dhanbad, Jharkhand 826 001, India Abstract: Coal mine ?res cause serious threat to the property and human lives. Out-break of ?re may be dealt with advanced ?re suppression techniques like Infusion of inert gases or liquid nitrogen, Dynamic Balancing of pressure, Reversal of under-ground mine ventilation, Application of nitrogen foam, Inertisation of Goaf, Water mist etc. The paper addresses all those control techniques in detail. Success story of controlling ?res in coal mines of different parts of the world are reported. Results of a recently completed Science Technology (ST) project with regard to various ?re suppression techniques like Infusion of liquid nitrogen, Injection of high pressure high stability nitrogen foam, and Water mist on open ?re are also discussed. Keywords: coal mine ?re, reversal of underground mine ventilation, nitrogen foam, inertisation of goaf water mist 1. Introduction` Since inception, mining is considered as a most hazardous and dangerous of peacetime activities. An outbreak of ?re in the underground workings of a mine poses a direct threat from the ?re itself. Further, an invisible and immediate threat from carbon monoxide poisoning and an explosion, particularly in gassy coal mines is also there. It affects to both persons working underground at the time of the outbreak and to those involved in the subsequent rescue and ?re ?ghting. It hampers the coal production and sometimes loss of coal winning machinery. Fires in coal mines may be categorised into two groups viz., (a) ?res resulting from spontaneous combustion of coal (b) open ?res, which are accidental in nature, caused as a result of ignition of combustible materials. In coal mines, ?res are generally caused due to several reasons viz., sluggish ventilation, high pressure difference across intake and return airways, loose
