Synopsis
Excerpt from The Inflammable Gases in Mine Air
Samples of mine air have been obtained from many mines, in the main returns, splits, and entries, in places where the air was moving, and also in places where the air was still, as at working faces, cavities in the roof, in the goave, and in sealed inclosures. In addition, samples have been collected from parts of mines that were on fire and from mines shortly after explosions had occurred. Consequently, an excel lent opportunity has been afforded to study mine gases that have accumulated under many different conditions. Some results of this study are presented in the following paper which is published by the Bureau of Mines as a contribution to a better knowledge of the causes of mine explosions.

Paperback. Condition: 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. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
