Direct-on-Filter FTIR Spectroscopy to Estimate Calcite as A Proxy for Limestone ‘Rock Dust’ in Respirable Coal Mine Dust Samples
Application of fine, inert ‘rock dust’ (RD) to the surfaces in underground coal mines is a common method for mitigating coal dust explosion hazards. However, due to its size, RD has the potential to contribute to the respirable coal mine dust (RCMD) concentration. Though the RD component of RCMD doe...
