최상삼 박사를 만나기 위해 떠난 이른 오후, 인터넷으로 KIST 지도를 뽑아들고 전화로 전해들은 KIST 안내를 되새겨가며 청량리역에 내려섰다. 택시를 잡아타고 KIST로 가는 길은 서울의 복잡한 도심과는 달리 아늑한 위로를 주는 안정된 공간이었다. 길게 늘어선 가로수 길을 지나 중문에 들어서면 연구원 중앙에 자리 잡은 넓직한 연못과 깔끔하게 정리된 정원수들을 마주하게 된다. 그 순간 KIST라는 이름에서 느껴지는 위압감은 사라지고 연구실에서 연구에 씨름하던 이들이 느끼는 휴식같은 공간에 부러움까지 느껴진다. 하지만 KIST 내부에 들어서면 철저한 보안장비와 비스듬히 열려진 문틈으로 보여지는 그들의 모습은 치열함이 엿보인다. 그 치열한 공간에서 연구원들과 함께 하며 그들을 이끌어가고 있는 최상삼 박사를 만났다. 세월의 여유로움과 인자함이 묻어나는 박사님의 모습에서 광산업의 가능성을 마주하고 온 시간이었다.

일반적으로 국내 석회석 광산에서의 발파는 20ms나 25ms 시차를 가지는 지발발파로 시행되어지고 있다. 국외에서는 전자뇌관을 사용하여 암반의 지질학적인 특성에 따라 지발 시차를 사용자의 현장에 따라 선정하여, 주변 보안 물건에 따른 진동 및 소음을 경감하면서, 1회 발파의 생산량을 증대할 수 있으며, 2차 파쇄 비용 및 적재비용을 절감하는 최적의 시차를 적용하여 발파 규모를 줄이지 않는 발파패턴을 적용하고 있다. 본 연구는 해외에서 사용되고 있는 전자뇌관을 국내 현장 석회석 광산(단양)에 적용함으로 최적지연시차를 찾아내는 방법과 초시의 오차에 따른 문제점과 향후 국내 적용성을 판단하고자 하였다. 대규모 석회석 광산을 대상으로 최적시차를 판단하고자 동일 패턴에서 시차를 6ms ~ 30ms로 시험발파를 시행하여 4가지 요소 발파진동속도, 주 주파수특성, 파쇄입도, 암석 이동 및 버력의 상태를 분석하여 각 시차에 따른 배점을 두어, 당 현장에 요구되는 개별 가중치를 선정하여 분석하였다. 분석 결과 당 현장에서의 발파결과에 따른 요소별 가중치를 발파진동속도(20), 주 주파수 특성(20), 파쇄입도(40), 암석 이동(10) 및 버력의 상태(10)로 하여 분석한 결과 15ms가 최적시차로 나타냈다. 향후 각 현장에 적합한 요소별 가중치를 선정하여 현장별 최적시차를 도출한다면 최적의 발파효과를 있을 것으로 판단된다.

CCTV 산업은 보안산업의 일종이며 종래에는 CCTV 카메라에서 찍은 영상정보를 아날로그 방식으로 VCR에 저장하여 사용하였으나, 테이프 교체의 불편함과 반복사용에 따른 화질의 열화 등 많은 문제점을 안고 있어 최근에는 DVR로 대체되고 있는 추세이다. 현재 국내시장에서 아날로그 VCR 대 DVR의 비율은 70:30 정도로 추정되고 있으며, 통신기술의 발전으로 인한 네트워크망 확대 및 인터넷의 급속한 보급으로 인해 DVR의 보급이 급속히 높아지고 있는데, J.P Freeman 보고서에 따르면, 세계 DVR 시장규모는 2002년 7억 2천만 달러에서 2005년도 24억 달러로 확대되어 연평균 47%의 고성장 하고 있다고 발표하였다. 그리고, DVR의 VCR 대체율 역시 2002년 13%에서 2005년 45%에 이른 것으로 보고 있으며, 앞으로 설치하거나 교체하는 시스템은 VCR 대신 DVR을 선택할 것을 예측할 경우 2010년에는 전체 VCR의 90% 이상이 DVR로 교체될 것으로 전망되고 있다.

The CBM(Coalbed Methane) development technology being developed in mid 1980s is the technology to produce the methane gas absorbed in the coal bed. CBM is easy to be developed and its coal deposit is abundant. Therefore, the CBM industry has a large potential as an energy source as well as to deal with the global regulations for reducing greenhouse gas emission. In order to produce coal, the CBM should first be developed as a preliminary action for mine security. So CBM is advantageous in reducing the global greenhouse gas as well as its advantage not being influenced by the changes in gas market. The ECBM (Enhanced Coalbed Methane) is a new technique producing the methane gas which is substituted and disorbed from coal by injecting $CO_2$ or $N_2$ gas into a coal bed. Especially, $CO_2$-ECMB is a low-carbon, green-growth technology, so can expect to the effect of green gas reduction as well as the improved productivity of methane gas. CBM technology is being developed in about 40 nations including Canada, Australia, China, India, Indonesia and Viet Nam, and the coal output using this technology is continually being increased. The CBM is expected to contribute in changing the energy source paradigm from current coal & petroleum energy to unconventional gas.

As more diesel engines have been employed in underground limestone mines with large cross section, underground space environment is worsened by diesel exhausts and heat flow. This paper aims for the ultimate goal to optimize the work place environment through assuring the optimal required ventilation rate based on the analysis of the airflow, diesel exhaust gas concentrations and the effects of mechanization and deepening working face on temperature and humidity. Due to the insufficient capacity of the main exhaust fan and poor airway management, stagnant airflows were observed at various locations, while the flow direction was reversed instantly with passing diesel equipment and the flow reversal was also made by the seasonal variation of the outside surface weather. During the loading operation, CO concentration measurements were found to be frequently higher than the threshold limit of 50 ppm, and most of the $NO_2$ measurements during drilling and loading operations shows even more serious levels surpassing the permissible limit of 3 ppm. The actual ventilation quantity was considerably less than the required quantity estimated by the mine health and safety law, and this shortage problem was less serious in colder winter showing more effectiveness of the natural ventilation.

On sites where explosives are used, the effects of noise and vibration produced by the blast wave are subject to a number of operational restrictions. Recently, the number of civil complaints has increased and the standard of environmental regulations on secure goods has been greatly tighten. Therefore, work is generally carried out by machine excavation in case of close proximity of safety thing. Machine excavation methods have the advantage as reducing noise and vibration compared to blasting methods, but depending on the conditions of rock intended to be excavated, they are sometimes less constructive than planned. In general, the closer a rock type is to hard rock, the less constructible it becomes. In this paper, we are going to explain the construction of a construction section with a close proximity to a safety thing using electronic detonators. While the project site was designed with a machine excavation methods due to the close(9.9m) proximity of safety thing(the railroad), construction using electronic detonators was reviewed as an alternative method for improving rate of advance time and construction efficiency when expose to hard rock. Through blasting using electronic detonators, construction and economic efficiency were maximized while minimizing impact on surrounding safety things. Because $HiTRONIC^{TM}$, which is produced by Hanwha, has innovative stability and high explosion reliability, it is able to explode with high-precision accuracy. Electronic detonators are widely used in construction sites of railway or highway, other urban burrowing areas and large limestone mines.

This study describes a precise numerical analysis process by adopting the real image of mine openings obtained by LIDAR, which can produce a point cloud data by measuring the target surface numerically. Research area is a section of underground limestone mine which is used hybrid room-and-pillar method for improving the production rate. From the application of LIDAR to this section several results were deduced, that is, the central axis of upper and lower vertical safety pillars is distorted to the direction of NW and the section area of lower vertical safety pillar is $34m^2$ smaller than the designed area of $100m^2$. The results of precise measurement in geometrical shape of mine openings and precise simulation in numerical analysis confirms that LIDAR techniques can be suggested as a valuable tool for stability analysis in underground mine by configuring the mine opening shape.

Freeze-thaw experiments were conducted to evaluate changes in surface roughness and physical properties in samples of granite from Ilgwang and Imki mines, Korea. The temperature range in the experiments was $-20^{\circ}C$ to $40^{\circ}C$, based on typical summer and winter temperatures in Korea, and the surface was observed every 20 cycles. One cycle comprised 1 hour of heating or cooling of the samples and 1 hour during which the target temperature was maintained. With increasing repetitions of the freeze-thaw experiment, porosity increased by 0.05%-0.15% in the two samples and the dry weight increased, whereas the volume of the soil and saturation weight decreased. Observations by confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) revealed that line and surface roughness parameters showed a tendency to increase and decrease, respectively, with elapsed time. Changes in surface roughness were apparent on the CLSM images.

This study investigated use cases of machine learning technology in domestic medical, manufacturing, finance, automobile, urban sectors and those in overseas mining industry. Through a literature survey, it was found that the machine learning technology has been widely utilized for developing medical image information system, real-time monitoring and fault diagnosis system, security level of information system, autonomous vehicle and integrated city management system. Until now, the use cases have not found in the domestic mining industry, however, several overseas projects have found that introduce the machine learning technology to the mining industry for improving the productivity and safety of mineral exploration or mine development. In the future, the introduction of the machine learning technology to the mining industry is expected to spread gradually.
