Advanced measures in dust control from surface sources in mines

The base of this master work is analyzing the existing methodologies for fugitive dust emission estimation fro mine and surface sources in mine industries and defining the most appropriate methodology for fugitive dust emission estimation from line and surface sources in Rek-Bitola, which in fact is a base for developing an appropriate methodologies for fugitive dust emission measuring fro the main dust sources. The purpose is to analyze the specifics for all fugitive emission sources arise from the mining activities and to determine methodology which will contribute a fugitive dust emission estimation on coal storage area, ash dumping area the transport of coal and forming the coal storage area, which will contribute in important conclusions and recommendations for improving of working and living environment not only for the employees but also to the entire population in Pelagonia region. In conducting the master work there has been used three evaluation methods: using the emission factors from (NPI) from the Australian Ministry of environment, conducting real, direct measurements at site using MICRO Dust pro instrument and through mathematic analyses by using software DISPER 5.2 dust dispersion models are conducted and validation is made to the emission factors with the real measurements. Taking under consideration the complexity of the dispersion as a physical phenomena that needs a serious approach a conclusion was made that the calculation of the emission factors should be done very carefully taking under consideration the specifics of the ambient characteristics and the huge impact of the atmospheric conditions and it has been determined that in our cases the emission factors give us relatively more realistic values for surface sources than the emission factors for line and point dust sources
