New Method for Methane Drainage in Gob Reduces Mining Risks.
The article analyzes how to drain methane in underground coal mines. It suggests placing drainage tunnels in stable, lower parts of fractured areas with softer rocks for easier construction. The researchers propose a method to control methane levels in these tunnels by determining parameters like borehole angle, length, distance, and drainage time. They also define a way to judge methane levels in case of borehole failure.
