Abstract

Mine ventilation plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety and well-being of workers in underground mines by providing adequate air circulation to remove harmful gases, dust, and heat. The development of ventilation systems is essential for reducing the risks of accidents, explosions, and diseases caused by poor air quality. This paper explores the latest advances in mine ventilation engineering, focusing on the application of modern technologies, such as computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling, automation, and real-time monitoring systems. These innovations enhance the efficiency of ventilation systems, improve energy consumption, and provide safer working conditions. This study also examines the challenges of integrating these technologies into traditional mining operations and provides recommendations for future advancements.
