This article discusses the significance of gas analysis in mining, including the recent developments and their implications for the safety of mining operations.
Laser spectroscopy is one of the most widely utilized techniques, particularly for trace gas detection. These methods use a laser as a light source to perform spectroscopy measurements to quantify and potentially identify different gas species.
Student Arne Quellmalz is working on technologies that could replace the typically bulky, expensive, and high-energy-consuming gas sensors available today. Using graphene and innovative integration techniques, Quellmatz’s research could lead to the manufacture of gas sensors that are small and cheap
