The increase of the population also involve the increase of the consumption of raw materials. This requires the diversification and development of industrial processes in semi-enclosed or open spaces. The carrying out of human activities of an industrial nature involves the accidental use, handling or presence of explosive substances such as methane. The presence of this gas in closed or semi-closed spaces can generate explosion phenomena. The accumulation of methane in narrow spaces is well studied and known, but the dispersion and especially the dispersion dynamics of methane released from a source considered infinite is less known. Knowing how methane disperses into the air is very important for establishing preventive measures. The paper presents the experiment on the dynamics of methane dispersion in a closed enclosure.

A technical approach based on microbial technology is proposed to help resolve the problems caused by explosive gases in coal mines. The proposed technique uses methanotrophic bacteria to oxidize methane. In laboratory experiments, the oxidation effect of hanging nets impregnated with liquid containing methanotrophic bacteria was investigated at different air flow-rates. The experimental results showed that the volume of gas degraded and the gradient of degradation both increased as the gas concentration increased at constant air flow-rates. At fixed gas concentrations, the volume of degraded gas increased with increasing flow-rates of air at low flow-rates. However, the volume of degraded gas slightly decreased with increasing flow-rates of air at high flow-rates. These experimental results provide a theoretical basis for the treatment of explosive gases during exploration for natural gas and to treat potentially dangerous concentrations of gas in gobs, caves and upper corners of mineshafts. They will also be of great practical significance in coal mining.
