INTRODUCTIONWhen coal beds are formed through the compression and heating of organic materials over geologic time spans the generation of coal mine gas entrapped in coal seam and its superstratum, sandstone seam, is an integral part of the proce

5、ss. Coal mine gas is nearly always methane (CH4) and is a useful source of cleanness and high efficiency. As the coal beds are mined, this entrapped, or adsorbed, gas is released into mine and mixed with air. This not only eventuates in the loss of value in use because of decreasing purity of methan

6、e but also make coal mine gas a very serious safety hazard. A new method, which has been adopted by a few countries, is to drill wells into the coal seam in advance of mining in order to extract most of the high quality gas before it is released into the mine, and to reduce the possibilities for exp

7、losions at the same time. The generation of coal mine gas related to coal, however, the reserve of coal mine gas is not in measure as the reserves of coal, which is in certain matter of geology. The location of drilling should be chosen according to the reserves of gas. Unfortunately, in the absence

8、 of means for distinguishing the reserves of gas from mines, the locations of drilling for extracting methane are arranged inexactly and many wells are drilled in vain .To conduct an investigation on exploring the . enrichment of coal mine gas is imperative under the situation. Super low frequency(S

This technique is superior over others on gas explorati

Therefore, the basic theory of the technique used on coal mine gas exploration is explained below and typical experiments are presented with the use of the SLF remote sensing device, which

Ideally, the incident electromagnetic field, in the mode of homogeneous plane electromagnetic wave, transmit perpendicularly into the homogeneous stra

During the transmitting and reflecting processes of cascade, the messages of physical appearance of transmission medium are attached onto the incident and refl

13、ected waves .Coal mine gas is .generally entrapped within gas-baring strata, coal bed and sandstone, with a certain pressure before mining. A significant physical quantity of stratum, apparent resistivity, is principal related with the density and the pressure of reserved gas. The higher the pressur

14、e and the density of the reserved gas, the higher the apparent resistivity of the gas-baring stratum appears. Consequently, the higher the apparent resistivity of a certain stratum, the lower the dissipative attenuation appears as the electromagnetic fields propagate within the stratum. The changes

15、of electromagnetic field lead to the received remote sensing waveform changes in respect to amplitude. Shortly, the amplitude changes of remote sensing curve relate to the reverse of coal mine gas in the manner that the amplitude increases as the apparent resistivity decreases, and vice versa. The r

16、eserve of coal mine gas can be concluded according to the degree the amplitude lifts. The depth of interface between gas-baring stratum and other strata is necessary; otherwise the depth of the gas-baringstratum is unavailable. The SLF signal, received by SLF remote sensing device on the ground, is just the synthesis wave, which carry the stepping superposition of the complex amplitudes or the waveforms of
