About This Book
This volume contains the proceedings of the 18th North American Mine Ventilation Symposium held, on a virtual platform, June 12-17, 2021. This symposium was organized by South Dakota Mines, Rapid City, South Dakota, in collaboration with the Underground Ventilation Committee (UVC) of the Society for Mining, Metallurgy & Exploration (SME).
The Mine Ventilation Symposium series has always been a premier forum for ventilation experts, practitioners, educators, students, regulators, and manufacturers from around the world to exchange knowledge, ideas, and opinions. This volume features fifty-seven selected technical papers in a wide range of topics including: auxiliary ventilation, case studies of mine ventilation, computational fluid dynamics applications in mine ventilation, diesel particulate control, electric machinery in mine ventilation, mine cooling and refrigeration, mine dust monitoring and control, mine fans, mine fires and explosion prevention, mine gases, mine heat, mine management and organization of ventilation, mine ventilation and automation, occupational health and safety in mine ventilation, renewable/alternative energy in mine ventilation, ventilation monitoring and measurement, ventilation network analysis and optimization, and ventilation planning and design.
