COMPARABILITY OF MICROCLIMATE IN THE HORIZONS OF THE TREPÇA MINE IN STANTËRG

Abstract

Analysis, assessment and comparison of climatic conditions of the stopes in the upper and lower horizons of the Trepça Mine in Stantërg, is as a basic principle to control as well as to improve them by providing a sufficient amount of fresh air to the main workplaces of the mine. The issue of the microclimate in various underground mining stopes shall require continuous measurements in the main places - stations, so for the overlying floors the previous measurements of the ventilation service were used for some stopes of deep horizons, and the measurements for certain time periods for 2021 have been forwarded. Measurements performed in different stopes of different horizons, creation of a database according to the obtained values and diagrams obtained for two microclimatic parameters (temperature and air humidity) as well as their analysis in scientific aspect offer us the best possible assessment which is argued in this paper. The presented results show that to improve the climatic conditions in the Trepça Mine in Stantërg, it is not only enough to change the ventilation system but also to direct (direction or regulation) a sufficient amount of fresh air in the direction of the analyzed stopes and those planned. This is done in order to provide better air conditions and to create a safe environment for the health of workers in underground work environments as a primary goal to increase high productivity of production.
