Principles of the Method of Submicron Particle Emission Recording for the Accident Prediction in Underground Mineral Mining

Abstract

The article presents the review of the current methods used in Russia and abroad to predict accidents in underground mines based on the monitoring of stresses, strains and seismic and electromagnetic events. The phenomenon of emission of submicron particles is revealed in rocks and the submicron particle emission under compression of rock specimens is modeled physically. The conclusion is drawn on the possibility of developing a new method and equipment for the prediction of accidents during underground mining.
