- Abstract
The Institute for Mineral Resources Machine Technology (IMR) at the RWTH Aachen University, Aachen/Germany has been working on options to enable boundary layer detection as well as horizon control for underground coal operations for more than a decade. One of these tested options is laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). After a short introduction into the technology of LIBS, this article describes the challenges to enable LIBS in underground coal operations. Furthermore, an overview of the latest results in examining dust-water suspensions will be given.
