Abstract
Mining has been throughout history one of the basic activities for economic and technological development for humanity; In this sense, an important challenge for the mineral extraction industry is to achieve production processes more friendly to the environment; that is why the ventilation in contemporary mine tries to solve the problem of the emission gases as well as to minimize the consumption of energy resources for this operation, contributing solutions in this topic for a sustainable development of the mining communities. In this project, a simulation comparative study was carried out using three models for a system without extraction versus extraction in an underground mine development work, this in order to reduce CO and CO2 concentrations which are emission gases harmful to the environment; as well as obtaining a model that allows to vary parameters related to the best use of energy resources. The simulation work was carried out using the CFD software of ANSYS. The results show that in all cases the emission gases concentrations were reduced to values below the limits established by the standards (NOM-010-STPS-1999).
