APPLICATION OF MICRO-CAPSULATING TECHNOLOGY FOR PREVENTION OF ENDOGENOUS FIRES

Endogenous res are the most dangerous accidents that happen in mines because res accompanied by release of large amounts of toxic gases, which leads to the formation of explosive gas mixture and increased likelihood of explosion. Today methods allowing prevent the ignition of coal in the initial stages, are poorly understood, and their development is given inadequate attention. A prevention of re formation can be considered as one of the innovative ways of dealing with endogenous res by treating the surface of the coal with not heat-resistant, water-resistant microcapsules, containing the inhibitor in a gaseous or liquid state. The capsule's shell may be made from any materials having lm-forming properties. Using of microcapsules provides a reliable, long storage capsular material in the shell of the capsule before the destruction of the material, with loss of capsular material over time
