Four coreholes were drilled (two before and two after mining) at a longwall mine to obtain coal and rock samples from overlying strata to determine their gas content at various times in the mining cycle. Test results indicate that 91 pct of the gas removed from the overlying strata came from coalbeds.

This book introduces the recent technologies introduced for gases capture including CO2, CO, SO2, H2S, NOx, and H2. Various processes and theories for gas capture and removal are presented. The book provides a useful source of information for engineers and specialists, as well as for undergraduate and postgraduate students in the fields of environmental and chemical science and engineering.
