Abstract

The CO gas in the upper corner along with the work of mining face in different coal-seam of Lingwu coal-field has deeply affected judgment for the degree of the coal spontaneous combustion and safety work. For this issue, a new calculation and forecast model of the carbon monoxide concentration in the upper corner of mining face was deduced for analyzing and calculating the date from the lab and test-in-place, during this course using the knowledge of heat transfer, fluid dynamics, and mathematics. The model took into account the characteristics of the coal spontaneous combustion, coal mining conditions, and other correlate factors, so the CO concentration of the upper corner safe under the normal condition, and it is in danger when the coal reached spontaneous combustion, which can be calculated accurately with the model and compared with the measured concentration with a tolerance of less than 12%.
