Xanthan gum is a naturally occurring polysaccharide obtained from Xanthomonas
campestris. The xanthan gum backbone consists of β-d-glucose linked like in cellulose. The …

Chinese coal seams are characterized by high gas content and low permeability. The
permeability of coal seams should be improved to achieve maximum extraction of coalbed …

The operation of an enhanced geothermal system (EGS) involves a complex thermal–
hydraulic–mechanical (THM) coupling process, which is important for exploiting the …

Owing to the exhaustion of shallow coal resources, deep mining has been occupied in coal
mines. Deep buried coal seams are featured by the great ground stress, high gas pressure …

The heading face in soft and low-permeability coal seams is one of the most high-risk areas
for Chinese coal and gas miners because of the number of outburst-related accidents. To …

With a continuous increase in mining depth, high gassy coal seams with low permeability
increasingly appear. Although hydraulic flushing (HF) is an efficient technology applied …

Realized by the conversion of the electromagnetic energy into thermal energy, microwave
heating can be a sound method to enhance coalbed methane (CBM) recovery. Although the …

Underground coal mining usually develops vertical stresses and reduces the horizontal
stress in front of the coal face, which may trigger the occurrence of coal ruptures and gas …

Currently, hydraulic slotted borehole technology for strengthening gas drainage is one of the
main measures to control gas disasters in deep mines. In this paper, to analyze the evolution …

Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) acquires global interest in the petroleum industry. Several
technologies are implemented to retrieve the residual oil after conventional flooding …
