Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the flammable gases found in coal mines, a subject that has received considerable attention in Europe. The author presents the results of their experiments, which utilized samples from various mine environments, including those with active fires and recent explosions. Their findings challenge the widely held belief that gases like hydrogen, ethylene, or carbon monoxide are common constituents of mine air. Instead, the author argues that these gases are rarely present, even in minute quantities, under normal operating conditions in American coal mines. The author's meticulous analytical methods and extensive data provide a comprehensive examination of mine gases. They demonstrate the accuracy required for precise gas analysis in mining contexts and emphasize the importance of avoiding erroneous conclusions due to faulty experimental techniques. By focusing on the specific chemical reactions involved in methane combustion, the author presents a corrected equation for calculating methane and ethane in gas analysis, ensuring reliable results. Overall, this book offers valuable insights into the nature of flammable gases in mine air, challenging established assumptions and providing a more accurate understanding of their composition. The author's findings have significant implications for mine safety and the prevention of explosions, making this book an essential resource for professionals in the field.
