Overseas Study of Japanese Methane Gas Drainage Practice and Visits to Coal Research Centres, June-August 1980
Gas Drainage Research for Outburst Prevention and Control: Field Investigations at Moura No. 4 Mine
Coal mines are not only a safety management challenge but also a major source of greenhouse gas emissions. Methane release during coal mining creates unsafe working conditions in underground coal mines around the world.
This book is an essential text for undergraduate and graduate students of mining engineering and related programs, and a must-have reference for mining, civil and geotechnical engineers.
Foreword -- Acknowledgements -- Acronyms and abbreviations -- Glossary of terms -- Executive summary -- Introduction -- Fundamentals of gas control -- Occurrence, release, and prediction of gas emissions in coal mines -- Mine ventilation -- ...
