With most UCG facilities, two wells are drilled on either side of an underground coal seam.
WhatsApp: +86 18838072829The idea of underground coal gasification (UCG) was first put forward by the famous Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev in 1888. He suggested, "The purpose of coal mining is the extraction of the energy composition in coal, rather than the coal mining itself," and also pointed out the basic approach to realize industrialization of coal gasification.
WhatsApp: +86 18838072829Underground coal gasification (UCG) has been shown to be a promising method for deep coal resources. A series of complicated chemical reactions can induce a considerable change in the pore structure of coal and thus promote the UCG process in turn. Currently, most studies on the effect of elevated temperature on the pore structure of coal were not involved in an air atmosphere, bringing a ...
