    Detection and Monitoring of Underground Coal Mine Gases at Lakhra Coal Mines, Pakistan

    Uploaded by

    Ahsan Ali
    This document is an abstract submission for a conference paper on detecting and monitoring underground coal mine gases at Lakhra Coal Mines in Pakistan. The abstract describes measuring gas concentrations like carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and methane at eight naturally ventilated areas of Lakhra Coal Mine No. 28 using a portable multi-gas detector. It reports findings of 388 ppm carbon monoxide and 0.7% carbon dioxide and recommends improving ventilation systems to supply adequate air to high gas concentration locations and sealing off isolated areas from the working environment, as the detected gas levels could cause health issues or fatal accidents. The abstract was submitted by Niaz Muhammad Shahani and three co-authors from China University of Mining and Technology.

    Abstract:
    Coal or coal-bearing strata, especially in underground coal mines covers the substantial amount of gases. These mine gases are very
    dangerous when mixed with air. Most commonly found gases such as CO, CO2, CH4, and H2S etc. are the combination of atmospheric
    air or oxygen. A total of eight most promising regions of naturally ventilated Lakhra Coal Mine No. 28, Block-C have been examined
    by using portable Multi-Gas Detector (IMR-2800). The concentration of CO and CO2 is reported as 388 ppm and 0.7% respectively.
    The study proposes an appraisal of the efficient ventilation system. The mine locations with high concentration of gases may be supplied
    with adequate air or should be permanently sealed off and isolated from the working environment. It has been found that detected
    concentration of gases may cause serious health problems or even fatal accidents, therefore, proper ventilation system for the mine has
    been suggested.
