Gas emission control method at development of coal bed prone to spontaneous ignition

Method refers to the field of mining industry, to coal mining industry in particular, and may be used during development of coal beds prone to spontaneous ignition. The method used during development of coal bed prone to spontaneous ignition includes preparation of extraction section by double workings, ventilation of wide section workings due to mine ventilating pressure drop and coalmine methane extraction from emission source. Methane is extracted first through drilled at superimposed beds methane drainage boreholes with possibility of air inleakage exclusion from bottom-hole region of active stope. Then after displacement of developed bed main roof mine rocks, methane is removed through the rest part of borehole length in modes excluding air inleakage from bottom-hole space of long face. Methane, evolving hard from developed bed zones released from overburden pressure near long face bottom-hole, is offtaken to degassing vacuum network of extraction section through formation wells drilled oriented on working face with methane concentration fit for disposal.

Method of action on coal bed

Invention refers to mining, mostly to coal mining, and may be used for hydrodynamic action on coal bed and its deep degassing. Method of action on coal bed includes well bore construction in coal bed, its mouth casing, fluid injection into coal bed in static and pulse modes, well bore connection to degassing equipment and gas removal. Fluid injection into the coal bed in static mode is performed before and after hydrodynamic action on coal bed. Before hydrodynamic action fluid is injected up to pressure equal to gas pressure in bed, and after hydrodynamic action - under fluid pressure equal to coal bed hydraulic fracturing pressure.

Dust suppression method during blasting operations

Invention refers to mining and may be used for fine dust control during open mining of mineral deposits with blasting operations. Proposed dust suppression method during blasting operations consists in moistening of blasted unit with fluid from irrigation plant before blast. As irrigation fluid, biohumus aqueous solution is used, which concentration in solution is 10-25%. The specified solution is used for treatment of blasted unit after charge and further well stemming to mounting of blasting circuit.

Method and plant for methane removal from low concentration gas in coal mines

Proposed group of inventions refers to mining industry and is meant for methane removal from low concentration gas in coal mines. Methane removal method from gas in coal mines includes the following stages: (A) initial engagement of the plant oxidation reactor, fulfilment of the null cycle of methane oxidation reaction and heating start to the temperature not below 800°C; (B) low concentration gas with methane supply to oxidation reactor, quick reaction of methane with oxygen and heat release; (C) accumulation of heat released upon reaction; (D) after oxidation reaction completion exhaust gas blowing-out from oxidation reactor to complete treatment; (E) reiteration of (B), (C), (D) stages. Also provided is a device for methane removal from gas which contains check valve assembly, oxidation reactor, return valve assembly, gas supply system and instrumentation system. Check valve assembly is installed with oxidation reactor. Check valve assembly and oxidation reactor are connected to return valve assembly and gas supply system.

Complex control method of gas emission in extraction sections at development of thick and superimposed highly gas-bearing gently sloping coal beds

Complex control method of gas emission in extraction sections at development of thick and superimposed highly gas-bearing gently sloping coal beds

Complex control method of gas emission at development of a thick coal bed consists in separation of the same bed as to thickness into upper and lower beds so that an interlayer patch is left between them, development of methane drainage boreholes for each bed, ventilation and belt entries with further removal of return air and gas mixture at development of the bed. At development of similar entries in upper and lower beds, their pair connection with runs is performed. After outlining of extraction pillars the ventilation entry of the lower bed is connected through an end-on mine working to a gas suction plant. As the upper bed development proceeds, the runs that are the closest to its working face are opened in turn for entry of air from the belt entry and discharge of gas mixture from upper connection of the working face of the upper bed through a return air outlet system and through the ventilation entry of the lower bed to the end-on mine working, and after that, to the gas suction plant. Then, the lower bed is developed; with that, after operation of the methane drainage borehole of the lower bed is finished, the lower bed is saturated through the above borehole with antipyrogens.

Mining unit for air ventilation and conditioning

Unit includes an operating fan and a standby fan, each of which has an electric motor, a manifold and an adapter, a combined inlet box with a turning plug shutting off the inlet to operating and standby fans, and a turning flap shutting off outlets of operating or standby fans to an air supply pass. Above the fan unit with fans installed on draw-out trolleys there arranged in a noise-absorbing heat-insulated container is an air treatment unit, in the three unified air intakes of which there installed are noise absorption systems with turning shaft doors, which has an air conditioning system made in the form of a freon air cooler and an electric air heater, which allow air cooling or heating depending on ambient temperature. The air supply pass of the fan unit is equipped with a fire float at the well inlet.
