Strength and Weakness Characteristics of Using Polymer Based Alternative to Steel Mesh In Underground Coal Mine Strata

Nowadays a viable development of polymer based material as an alternative to the steel mesh material has been increased at a notable amount for providing enough support in the underground roadways. This feasibility study done on the development of using polymer based alternative is related with both of the chemical & physical properties of the selected material. If the polymer alternative has a considerable amount of capability to tolerate all the physical & material constraints equal to or above the normal steel mesh, then the possibility of using polymeric alternatives have been increased at a greater extent. For this reinforcement test, an experiment practice would be done by comparing the mechanical properties of the steel mesh with the polymeric material such as modulus property, elongation-at-break, yield stress etc. After that, a suitable polymer based alternative will be applied for underground roadway support in upcoming days

A New Process of Capturing Carbon Dioxide Gas From The Atmosphere Using Solid & Aqueous Sorbents in Pilot Plant

The capturing process of CO2 directly from air has been developed largely considering with commercial scale in pilot plants. This is done so that the capture CO2 from air can be used as a feedstock or raw material for producing carbon free renewable fuels by applying direct air capture (DAC) process. This way of capturing is gone to be possible with using some solid & aqueous sorbents in pilot plant. The success of this capturing process is depended on the appropriate configurations of both major & minor plant operations. Heat & mass balance are required necessarily to contribute on the finding of each pilot plants data. The design of this process is modeled like this so that the captured CO2 can be delivered at 15MPa into the pilot plant & for this, the requirements of energy inputs are about 8.81GJ or 5.25GJ of natural gas & 0 KWHr or 336KWHr of electricity respectively. Then all the results finding from the pilot contactor, reactor, calciner are optimized to reduce the processing cost of the capturing process. It is observed after the ending of the process that the amount of operating cost is ranged between 50$to 100$ to capture per ton of CO2 from surrounding air where the total levelized cost of the whole process ranges between 94$to 232$/t-CO2. If it considers the other specific choices such as financial safety, environ mental & ecological arrangements etc. then this DAC process would be the best reliable solution to capture the CO2 from air in upcoming decades

A smart review on the gas transportation model of coalbed methane gas based on the optimized pipeline network

Coalbed methane is extracted from the adsorbed state in coal seams with lower pressure and production rate. In previous studies, researchers only focused on the methods that were developed for making a relationship between the underground production rate and surface flow rate without any type of optimization procedure. In this study, the main purpose is to do a review on finding out of surface layout plan to optimize the maximum gas flow rate by developing an improved pipeline network. The more the optimization of the layout plan for designing pipeline network, the lower the amount of investment need to provide. Here, a mathematical model is proposed for the gas transportation based on the hydraulic and thermodynamic calculations of the pipeline network. Not only that, but also the filtration mechanism of depressurization and desorption for the gas flow through pipe section are evaluated here. After that, the pressure drop and pipeline efficiency are explored to find out the best design of pipeline network from the observed results. Finally, based on this study, many uncertainties can be reduced associated with the installation of pipeline network for gas transportation
