    Badania wydzielania metanu do wyrobisk chodnikowych drążonych kombajnami w pokładach węgla

    This article characterizes the sources of methane emission to a heading. Dependencies, on whose basis the stream of methane emitted from extracted coal, surface area of coal walls and face of heading can be calculated, are given. The results of measurements of methane emission to headings with continuous miners of very gassy mines, which were ventilated by means of overlap auxiliary ventilation system (main forcing duct and short exhaust duct with a dust seperator) are presented. On the basis of those results the co-efficient characterizing velocity of methane emission from surface area of coal wall and intensity of emission from exposed surface area of coal was determined. The values of those co-efficients are dependent on average methane content of coal seam (which was determined during underground drivages). The percentage contribution of face zone of heading comprising 50 m from the face in total volumetric methane flow was also determined. On the basis of those measurements it can be concluded that this zone includes 65% of total methane emission into a heading.
