Abstract

The authors have revealed analytical dependences for the length of a longwall and the background methane emission from a coal bed, mined-out void and wall rocks during a maintenance shift. The actual values of methane release in Kotinskaya Mine and methane concentration in a breakage heading of Kostromovskaya Mine, Belon, measured using air-and-gas control equipment are presented. The authors evaluate theoretical relationships for the cyclical behavior of methane release during a work shift in a production heading of a coal mine.
