Antoni WOJACZEK, Sergiusz BORON Teletransmission intrinsically safe barriers as an element of safety in wired telecommunication systems
Abstract: In methane coal mines, communication and alarm systems must be intrinsically safe, adapted to work at any methane concentration. Intrinsic safety of telephones and alarm sirens is provided by special teletransmission devices connected to each telecommunication line, colloquially called intrinsically safe barriers. For several dozen years, in all technical solutions of intrinsically safe barriers, the separation of the underground circuits from the surface installations is provided by the transformer. In the HETMAN communication and alarm system, currently used in several mines, capacitors were used for the first time as the separation elements in the line circuit of the intrinsically safe teletransmission barrier. The article discusses these two basic technical solutions of the intrinsically safe teletransmission barriers used in telephone communication and in the alarm systems. The basic functions of an intrinsically safe barrier in the voice communication system in underground mines also have been presented.

Łukasz BOŁOZ Quality assessment of conical picks for public procurement purposes
Abstract: The article presents the results of a study on the quality of conical picks for the purposes of tender procedures in accordance with the public procurement law in Poland. The pick studies presented here are one of the few that in practice allow the selection of an offer based on objectively determined numerical indicators defining the quality of the product and not only on the basis of price. Thanks to this, the contracting party can decide the relevance of price and quality in their evaluation of a pick. The geometrical and material parameters required in a tender, if not met, are the basis for rejecting a given offer of picks. The numerical parameter influencing the final evaluation of the offer is the picks' rate of wear. The article presents the results of studies on geometric parameters, material parameters and the rate of wear of 48 sets of picks conducted for a tender consisting of 14 tasks. The tender was conducted for 6 underground mines of a coal company. Five producers submitted their offers for selected tasks in the tender.

Marian PONIEWIERA The impact of geometric data generalization on the accuracy of deformation predictions of the mining area – construction of a digital deposit model
Abstract: The article presents the problems related to the construction of a digital model of the deposit, which may be the basis for the preparation of exploitation data for the purpose of prognostic calculations. DDM (Digital Deposit Model) is understood here as a database along with software allowing at any point for determining elevation points, thickness, roof lowering, etc. Seam floor is represented as a network of triangles TIN (Triangulated Irregular Network) with vertices located on borehole points, elevation datapoints and faults. In the same way, we create a TIN surface of coal and rock thickness, density, sulphate, anticipated floor dinting, etc. The program allows for visualization of the surfaces by means of isolines and coloring. It is possible to generate a cross-section through a rock mass between any points, which is an excellent verification tool of the model. Projecting of any objects to the surface of calculated lowering allows for easy preparation of the forecasted elevation map. We can also edit surfaces: adding points, gradating propagated changes, extrapolating, smoothing and simplifying. The article analyzes the creation and editing of exploitation parcels based on the digital deposit model. The method of bilateral communication between a digital map and mining area deformation forecast software. The possibilities of the Geolisp program in the scope of visualization of the results of prognostic calculations, searching for facilities meeting specific criteria, generating reports, coloring buildings according to the deformations category etc. were listed.

Zygmunt ŁUKASZCZYK Methane hazard – literature review
Abstract: One of the most dangerous phenomena associated with the extraction of hard coal is the occurrence of methane in its seams. Despite enormous progress in identifying and combating the methane hazard, its growth is observed in many mining areas of mines, which is strongly related to the increase in the depth of exploitation, the increasingly methane-free nature of deposits and the gas reservoir pressure. For the purpose of effectively counteracting dangerous phenomena related to methane hazard, aimed at improving occupational safety and health in mining, it is indispensable to cooperate with all mining industry, in particular with scientists and R & D units. This article analyzes the available literature in this area and presents the development of methods and means for the diagnosis and forecasting of methane hazard.

Domosław MAJCHER, Joanna BERGER-KIRSZ The statistical burden of the test method in relations to the standard no 17025 revised edition
Abstract: Determination of the measurement procedure statistical burden makes it possible to determine the rate and type of systematic errors, which can be eliminated by proper amendments. The best method to estimate this parameter is to use linear regression. The publication of the new standard no 17025 for testing and calibration laboratories imposes on the above-mentioned units a change of approach in some works’ aspects. The changes that were made refer as well the measurement consistency maintaining area. In this case, determination of the statistical burden must be carried out by using the certified data of comparison from reliable manufacturer. The maintenance of the measurement consistency indicates that the linear regression determined for the estimation has to be weighted illative to ( X and Y) type.

Renata MACZUGA, Wojciech CEBO Production of ecological coal in the aspect of air protection
Abstract: The main components of the air are nitrogen, oxygen and argon totaling 99.9% by volume. The remaining ones with the highest share are carbon dioxide, neon and helium. In addition to solid components, atmospheric air contains a number of other components that are emitted to the atmosphere as a result of processes occurring in nature or as a result of human activity. All solid, liquid or gaseous substances changing the average atmosphere composition are considered atmospheric air pollution. The introduced pollutants into the atmospheric air can have harmful effects on human health and its surroundings if their content exceeds certain acceptable values. In large clusters with dense buildings, due to specific urban and meteorological conditions, there are threats of exceeding the permissible levels of concentrations of pollutants in the air and the formation of smog. The improvement of air quality is related, among others, to the use of high quality carbon fuels for heating purposes. The quality of coal as such does not solve the problem without the use of appropriate modern thermal installations, especially in the municipal and living sector. However, the use of high-quality ecological coal is an appropriate action in the direction of air protection. PGG S.A. has a system for monitoring and controlling the quality of coal, ensuring the placing on the market of coal with high quality parameters, including ecological assortments for the needs of customers from the municipal and household sector. All coal fuels offered for this sector fulfills current quality requirements related to air protection. It is essential that the combustion of high quality coal takes place in appropriate, adapted to this, effective modern domestic boilers.

Grzegorz STROZIK The importance of the filling of the goaf with fine-grained waste for safe operation of longwalls with caving
Abstract: Filling of cavings (goaf) is currently the most widespread technology of filling underground voids in Polish coal mining. Obtaining optimal results in the area of elimination of spontaneous ignition of coal remnants in goaf and other benefits in terms of climatic and ventilation conditions requires subsequent continuing of filling operations and use of mixtures with appropriate concentration of solids. Obtaining the effects related to limiting the deformation of the rock mass and surface subsidence is also achievable, however, it requires the use of mixtures with a high concentration of solid parts and a multi-point mixture placement system, which practical solution is a system of trailing pipes behind the hydraulic shield supports in a longwall. The article also presents the legal basis for the use of industrial waste in underground technologies as well as the necessary elements of the technical and operational documentation for the technology of filling of cavings.

On the basis of the obtained results, a preliminary analysis of changes in the value of selected vibroacoustic parameters of the transmission was carried out in the aspect of its technical condition. Initially, changes in these parameters were also analyzed in the perspective of the elapse of operating time.

Tomasz KORBIEL, Jerzy WOJCIECHOWSKI Analysis of operating costs of the main coal mine dewatering system
Abstract: The main mine dewatering system is an essential element in the exploitation of underground mining plants. The system consists of many elements such as water channels and water walkways, underground tanks, powered pumps, and discharge pipelines. The operation of this system is independent of the current extraction, constituting a fixed cost of maintenance for the mine. Depending on the depth of the mine and the average inflow of water, this cost consists of the cost of electricity supplying the pump, the cost of depreciation of equipment, the cost of service and the costs of possible water disposal along with environmental charges. The article presents considerations regarding the reduction of main drainage operation costs through appropriate equipment operation and appropriate repair policy. The presented results are based on a real analysis of the functioning of the drainage system of one of the Polish mines.

D. Rafael BARRIONUEVO The earth magnetic field in granite blocks cutting process
Abstract: This document reports on the problem of magnetic fields during the preparation of granite blocks. The most prominent problem consists of the use of long, thin cutting tools by which the magnetic field introduces detours in the cutting-process, losing more than 15% of granite block as raw material. In order to avoid or minimize the effects of magnetic fields, the magnetic orientation of the industrial building must be considered and the true deviation produced by the field must be calculated. On the contrary…, what happen when the workshop is built without magnetic considerations?. First of all we need to know and separate the effects of fields. In marine terms, this problem consist of calculating the total correction due to the effects of true magnetic field (δm) and deviation (Δ). Like a vessel navigating around the earth, the true course is the addition of two terms: compass course (magnetic) and effects of total correction (δm + Δ) where it is produced by the total metal mass around me and δm is the magnetic field of the earth in this point. We are going to calculate the total correction (ct).

Ryszard MIELIMĄKA Verification of S. Knothe theory parametres values for the region of intense, multi-seam mining exploitation
Abstract: The article presents the results of the analysis of measured deformations of the surface of the mining area in the region of the impact of very intense, long-term and multi-seam exploitation conducted by the "X" and “Y” mines in the field “K”. This analysis showed that the impacts in conditions of a very strongly deformed rock mass do not differ significantly from the impacts observed in conditions of less intensive mining exploitation. However, they are characterized by a slightly higher coefficient of variability of analyzed deformation indices than in other regions of USCB.
