Nitrogen enhanced drainage of CO2 rich coal seams for mining

Coal seams with high CO2 gas contents can be difficult to drain gas for outburst management. Coal has a high affinity for CO2 with adsorption capacities typically twice that of CH4. This paper presents an analysis of nitrogen injection into coal to enhance drainage of high CO2 gas contents. Core flo...
