Study on Estimation of Methane Emission from Abandoned Coal Mines

Investigating the effect of fractures on unusual gas emission in coal mines; case study of Parvadeh coal mine, Iran

In the present study, an investigation was carried out on Parvadeh coal mine in Tabas, Iran, to survey the effect of fractures on unusual methane gas emission in coal mines. This coal mine was chosen for investigating because of its high methane gas content in the coal body and available data from sensors in desired locations. Gas concentration monitoring programs were carried out at the mine s...

Strength Reduction of Coal Pillar after CO2 Sequestration in Abandoned Coal Mines

CO2 geosequestration is currently considered to be the most effective and economical method to dispose of artificial greenhouse gases. There are a large number of coal mines that will be scrapped, and some of them are located in deep formations in China. CO2 storage in abandoned coal mines will be a potential option for greenhouse gas disposal. However, CO2 trapping in deep coal pillars would i...

Efficiency of Technologies of Intensive Methane Recovery from Coal Seams and Mines Proposed for Closing

An improved inventory of methane emissions from coal mining in the United States.

Past efforts to estimate methane emissions from underground mines, surface mines, and other coal mine operations have been hampered, to different degrees, by a lack of direct emissions data. Direct measurements have been completely unavailable for several important coal mining operations. A primary goal of this study was to collect new methane emissions measurements and other data for the most ...
