Abstract
Inertization of coal dust with stone dust is a common control
implemented within underground coal mines to mitigate
the hazard of a coal dust explosion. To achieve adequate
inertization, the total incombustible content (TIC) of the
coal/stone dust mixture is required to meet certain percentages
depending on the risk and relevant legislation. Current
methods for determining the TIC of a mixture involves
laboratory analysis, colorimetric comparison, or the use
of portable instruments. This paper provides preliminary
analysis of determination of a sample’s TIC in real-time
with chemometric modelling, using portable instruments
employing near-infrared (NIR).
