Downhole coal seam pulse detonation wave directional fracturing permeability-increasing method

A method for permeability improvement for a downhole coal seam by directional fracturing with pulsed detonation waves, which is applicable to gas control in coal seam areas with high gas concentration and low air permeability. The permeability improvement method is as follows: first, drilling a pulsed detonation borehole and pulsed detonation guide boreholes from a coal roadway to a coal seam respectively; then, pushing a positive electrode connected to a positive output side of an explosion-proof high-voltage electrical pulse generator to the bottom of the pulsed detonation borehole and pushing a negative electrode connected to a negative output side of the explosion-proof high-voltage electrical pulse generator to the bottom of the pulsed detonation guide borehole; connecting the pulsed detonation borehole and the pulsed detonation guide boreholes to an extraction pipeline for gas extraction, after electrical pulsed detonation fracturing for the coal seam is carried out. The method disclosed in the present invention utilizes the high instantaneous energy provided by electrical pulsed detonation waves to fracture a coal mass, so as to form a fissure network in the coal mass between the pulsed detonation borehole and the pulsed detonation guide boreholes; thus, the air permeability coefficient of the coal mass can be increased by 200-400 times, the effective influence scope of gas extraction of a single borehole for gas extraction can be enlarged by 3-4 times, the extracted gas volume from the borehole can be increased by 3-8 times, and the coal seam gas pre-extraction time can be shortened effectively.

Use of ventilation air methane exhausted during mining of non-combustible ore in a surface appliance

Utilization of mine methane produced by mining a non-combustible ore, such as trona, as an energy source for heat, steam, and/or power generation. Such utilization is beneficial for a surface appliance which is close to surface outlet(s) of mine methane recovery system(s). A method for reducing greenhouse gas emissions generated during mining of a non-combustible ore uses the combustion of co-produced mine methane. The mine methane is recovered in a mine ventilation air exhaust with very low methane content, and may be additionally recovered in a drainage gas, such as gob gas, with much higher methane content.
