Coal mine methane (CMM) is not only a greenhouse gas but also a wasted energy resource if not utilised. Underground coal mining is by far the most important source of fugitive methane emissions, and approximately 70% of all coal mining related methane is emitted to the atmosphere through mine ventilation air.
Jan 01, 2008· This paper then addresses different features of ventilation air flows among the four coal mines and discusses possible correlations between ventilation air characteristics and underground mining activities. 3.1.

It was confirmed that the optimal dust-removal air flow rate of the inlet air was within a range of 1500–1600 m 3 /min, which generated the lowest average mass of the dust in the working area suitable for normal operations. This range of air flow rate might be used as a reference in the mine ventilation design in order to provide the coal
Underground mine ventilation provides a flow of air to the underground workings of a mine of sufficient volume to dilute and remove dust and noxious gases (typically NO x, SO 2, methane, CO 2 and CO) and to regulate temperature.The source of these gases are equipment that runs on diesel engines, blasting with explosives, and the orebody itself. The largest component of the operating cost for
The state of the mine ventilation needs to be monitored to ensure that the quantity of air is maintained consistently and that emitted gas levels are maintained below safe threshold levels. Monitoring is done both manually and by the use of continuously operating monitors that may indicate remotely, often to the surface. Ventilation; Coal Transport
To maintain adequate ventilation through the life of a mine, careful advance ventilation planning is essential. Advance ventilation involves the consideration of two principal factors: (1) the total volume flow rate of air required by the mine, and its satisfactory and economic distribution, and (2) the pressure required by the mine fan(s).

Gassy underground coal mines can emit methane into the atmosphere from a number of sources, including the ventilation system exhaust. In fact, mine ventilation systems typically are the largest source of methane emissions from underground coal mines. In 2008, U.S. coal mines released 101 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of ventilation air methane (VAM

The problem of automatic control of a coal mine ventilation network is discussed. It is found that the structure of the control sys- tem should have two levels, i.e. local regulation of ventilation para- meters (air flows) in faces to eliminate the effect of quick disturba- noes, and supervisory control of the whole ventilation process.
233 Kb: Explosion evaluation of mine ventilation stoppings Permanent stoppings are utilized to control and direct the ventilation air flow through underground coal mines to dilute and render harmless methane, entrained coal dust, and other contaminants at the working face and other areas of the mine.
Characteristics of Coal Mine Ventilation Air Flows (Shi Su, 2006). Mine-specific characteristics and preliminary conclusions can be drawn from an assessment of 6-12 months of data. To illustrate the range and variability of methane concentrations in VAM at U.S. coal mines, CMOP compiled the results of weekly VAM measurements from four coal mines
