Alternative to Shale Gas – Coalmine Methane

Abstract
Liquefied gas is considered as alternative to natural gas in the short-term prospect, and coalmine gas is considered as the same in the long-term one. However, the coalmine gas production is ecologically rather dangerous and technologically complicated. For Russia, and also for other countries having advanced branches of coal production, this is not development of shale gas fields, but creation of up-to-date coalmine methane recycling techniques is more actual, as this will allow solving of three actual problems: ecological, social and economic ones.

Keywords
Natural gas, coalmine gas, hydraulic fracturing technology, coalmine methane.

Normative and Organizational Reasons of Explosive Dead End Atmosphere Formation

Abstract
The article analyzes the weak points of blind drift explosion safety regulations. Natural processes, which occur in underground conditions, are considered. Results of comparison of parameters of fan operation on the surface and in constraint mining environment are resulted. It is proposed to determine the losses, when calculating fan pressure developed during the blind drift boosting, not only in the fan pipe, but in the network before delivery of extraction coming out from the end into the common mine flow. It is shown that when calculating air flow rate for methane dilution in the drift, its face area flow time must be taken into account. Regularity of lower inflammability concentration limit change and methane blastability in the boundary layer when flowing round the heated up face area obstacles are resulted. It is offered to calculate the air flow rate for dilution of formed coal dust for various heading machine types and removing of the most dangerous fractions beyond the pale of probable thermal energy sources in the face area.

Keywords
Explosive atmosphere, dead end, methane, regulatory documents, safety, fan.

New Technology of Coal Transportation of Pokrovskoye
Mine Management Surface Complex

Abstract
Basic advantage of cable-belt conveyors (CDC) in comparison with traditional belt conveyors and other bulk material conveying equipment consists in ability to surpass hairpin bends of a route of with significant distances, to function on complicated landscapes of surface complexes, to skip intermediate reloading stations along all route of transportation, to provide performance of up to 8000 t/h, to reduce operation and maintenance costs. Implementation of multi-drive technologies has considerably expanded CDC abilities and has allowed to single-set conveyors to provide the mined rock transportation at long distances. Intermediate drives are installed on the conveyor at a prescribed distance from each other given the operating conditions and even load distribution. Application of the unique concept of segregation between drive and transport functions in the CDC system has excluded intermediate overloads during transportation at big distances. Thus, installation of a drive end in any straight portion, both in the head and tail section of the cable-belt conveyor is possible.

Keywords
Mined rock, cable-belt conveyor, CDC, company, contract, benefication, transport, plant, mine management.

Kuzbass Coal, BRICS and new geoeconomic thinking

(notes for the statement at III International Conference “BRICS and AFRICA:
Cooperation for Development”, Moscow, Russian University of Peoples’ Friendship, 15 May, 2013)

Abstract
Problems of the Russia’s coal industry are apparently too far from the problems of formation of new geoeconomic relations, development of national economies of BRICS countries and world economic science. But, in our era of global changes everything appears to be so closely connected that the statement of Director CNIEIugol (Central Research Institute of Economy and Scientific and Technical Information of the Coal Industry), former Chief Specialist of the USSR State Planning Committee, at the international high level forum on problems of economic development of BRICS countries does not seem to be too fantastic event. Moreover, it caused the certain interest of scientists and practicians of international relations attending the forum at the Russian University of Peoples’ Friendship in Moscow. The notes for this statement and the information on the forum itself are resulted in this publication.

Keywords
Kuzbass Coal, BRICS, crisis of orthodox market economic theory, new geoeconomic thinking.
