Project 2.9.6 Preventing Cutting Head Methane Emissions On Continuous Miners
Simulation work on face ventilation in mechanised coal sections, with methane sources modelled from the cut face, gathering arms, conveyors and shuttle cars. For ventilation engineers and equipment manufacturers.
By D Marais & AP Cook | April 2020
Computational fluid dynamics, checked against underground measurements, mapped ventilation flow and methane concentration around continuous miner headings for straights and splits, single and double scrubbers, side and straight scrubber discharges, jet fans, brattices and force columns. It showed the earlier physical test work cannot predict contaminant flow for larger machines or altered scrubber layouts.

Coal can feed products well beyond combustion. The study sets out routes to rare earth elements held in particular seams, building materials made with carbon fibre and carbon char, coal foam and graphene composites, carbon black and activated carbon, including a coal derived activated carbon reported to hold four times the gas of compressed natural gas at lower pressure.
