| Abstract |
A systems evaluation was made to determine the engineering feasibility and probable economics of mining coal in an active deep mine in an oxygen free atmosphere using current technology in the application of life support systems to conventional coal mining techniques. A detailed investigation was conducted into the application and suitability of commercially available inert gas generators, life support clothing and equipment, and personnel communications systems. Three sites were investigated for a demonstration mine. The investigation revealed it is feasible from an engineering standpoint to mine coal in an oxygen free atmosphere. Life support and associated equipment are available essentially off-the-shelf. A deep mine using conventional mining equipment can be designed to operate in an oxygen free atmosphere. The comparative economics are extremely favorable when methane gas is recovered and sold. (Author) |
