• Methane Emission Rate Studies in a Central Pennsylvania Mine
  1/1/1971 - Reports of Investigations
  The purpose of this study was to determine the characteristics of methane emissions during coal extraction by a longwall mining system. The study was conducted over 22 consecutive shifts. The average methane emission rate from the Lower Kittanning coalb...
• Methane Emission Rate Studies in a Northern West Virginia Mine
  8/1/1970 - Technical Progress Reports
  Methane emission rates were studied in a Pittsburgh coalbed mine in northern West Virginia. Air volumes and methane percentages were recorded, and time studies of the miner were made during five consecutive operating days, during which a complete cycle...
• Sorption Investigations of Methane on Coal
  3/1/1969 - Technical Progress Reports
  The Bureau of Mines has conducted desorption work on fine coal particles at near atmospheric pressure. An apparatus has been developed that uses a capacitance manometer to measure desorption of methane from coal particles up to 2 inches in diameter and ...
• Removing Methane (Degasification) from the Pocahontas No. 4 Coalbed in Southern West Virginia
  1/1/1963 - Reports of Investigations
  Tests were conducted in the Pocahontas No. 4 coalbed in southern West Virginia to determine if successful degasification techniques, developed during an earlier study in the Pittsburgh coalbed, would effectively remove methane from those usually more ga...
• Removing Methane (Degasification) from the Pittsburgh Coalbed in Northern West Virginia
  1/1/1962 - Reports of Investigations
  A joint investigation by the Bureau of Mines and the Christopher Coal Co. at the Humphrey No. 7 mine, operating in the Pittsburgh coalbed in northern West Virginia, was undertaken to gain more insight concerning the hazardous emission of methane gas in ...
