Introduction
摘要
According to the BP Statistical Review of World Energy, the global proven natural gas reserves are 211 trillion cubic meters, with a total production of 4.25 trillion cubic meters and a total consumption of 4.01 trillion cubic meters, accounting for approximately 24% of the total primary energy consumption. Of this, coalbed methane (CBM or CSG) accounts for 6–9% of the natural gas production. Although its share is relatively small, the development and utilization of coalbed methane, along with its additional functions such as environmental protection [2] and mine gas management [3, 4], play a crucial role in the growth of natural gas production and the prevention of mine gas hazards. Statistics show that, with increased global attention to mine gas management and improvements in gas treatment technologies, the frequency of mine gas accidents and the number of casualties have generally decreased in recent years. However, since 2024, significant gas accidents leading to casualties have occurred in places, such as Pingmei No. 12 Mine in Henan Province, China, and Tabas Mine in South Khorasan Province, Iran. Furthermore, in some high-gas or intensively mined low-gas mines, gas exceeding the safety limits still sometimes affects mining efficiency. This indicates that even today, rapid and efficient gas prevention technologies remain an important research topic for ensuring safe and efficient coal mining and balancing mining operations in China.
