Pressurization Ventilation Technique for Controlling Gas Leakage and Dispersion at Backfilled Working Faces in Large-Opening Underground Mines: CFD Analysis and Experimental Tests

Pressurization ventilation techniques, originally designed to control building fires, have never been applied to the mines. The working face, backfilled with fly-ash-based materials, is likely to be contaminated during, and even after, the curing period of the backfill materials. Gases such as NH<...
