  • The Impact of the Coexistence of Methane Hazard and Rock-Bursts on the Safety of Works in Underground Hard Coal Mines
    energies Article The Impact of the Coexistence of Methane Hazard and Rock-Bursts on the Safety of Works in Underground Hard Coal Mines Justyna Swolkie ´n* and Nikodem Szl ˛azak Faculty of Mining and Geoengineering, AGH University of Science and Technology Kraków, 30-059 Kraków, Poland; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Several natural threats characterize hard coal mining in Poland. The coexistence of methane and rock-burst hazards lowers the safety level during exploration. The most dangerous are high- energy bumps, which might cause rock-burst. Additionally, created during exploitation, safety pillars, which protect openings, might be the reason for the formation of so-called gas traps. In this part, rock mass is usually not disturbed and methane in seams that form the safety pillars is not dangerous as long as they remain intact. Nevertheless, during a rock-burst, a sudden methane outflow can occur. Preventing the existing hazards increases mining costs, and employing inadequate measures threatens the employees’ lives and limbs. Using two longwalls as examples, the authors discuss the consequences of the two natural hazards’ coexistence. In the area of longwall H-4 in seam 409/4, a rock-burst caused a release of approximately 545,000 cubic meters of methane into the excavations, which tripled methane concentration compared to the values from the period preceding the burst. In the second longwall (IV in seam 703/1), a bump was followed by a rock-burst, which reduced the amount of air flowing through the excavation by 30 percent compared to the airflow before, and methane release rose by 60 percent.

The methods and problems connected with hydrogeologic investigations of hard coal deposits . in Poland have been discu­ ssed in publications: R6zkowski (1972), R6zkowski, WUk,Witczak (1972), Rudzinska, R6zkowski (1980), Rudzinska (1963),Grabowska ( 1966). The recent years have seen the considerable extension of examinations applied in the eydrogeologic recording of the deposits mainly aimed at obtaining the largest possible amount of information on the water conditions in the prospect boreho­ les. The construction of new deep coal mines as well as new deep working levels in the existing mines made it also necessa­ ry to enlarge the scope of hydrogeochemical and isotopic metho­ ds being applied in the above investigations.

  • Drucksache 19/23575 19
    Deutscher Bundestag Drucksache 19/23575 19. Wahlperiode 21.10.2020 Antwort der Bundesregierung auf die Kleine Anfrage der Abgeordneten Torsten Herbst, Frank Sitta, Oliver Luksic, weiterer Abgeordneter und der Fraktion der FDP – Drucksache 19/22755 – Bürostandorte und Verwaltungsmitarbeiter der Deutschen Bahn AG Vorbemerkung der Fragesteller Die Deutsche Bahn AG (DB AG) ist mit knapp 200 000 Mitarbeitern einer der größten Arbeitgeber Deutschlands. Im Rahmen ihrer Dachstrategie „Starke Schiene“ will die DB AG ihre Fahrgastzahlen im Fernverkehr bis 2030 ver- doppeln und mehr als 1 Milliarde zusätzlicher Kunden im Nahverkehr gewin- nen. Um dieses wachsende Verkehrsaufkommen auf der Schiene realisieren zu können, sollen „in den nächsten Jahren 100.000 Mitarbeitende“ eingestellt werden (https://www.deutschebahn.com/de/konzern/starke_schiene-3953064). Gleichzeitig gerät die DB AG aufgrund der anhaltenden Auswirkungen der Corona-Pandemie wirtschaftlich immer weiter unter Druck. So benötigt der Konzern eigenen Angaben zufolge bis 2024 zusätzlich rund 8 Mrd. bis 10 Mrd. Euro. Bereits im ersten Halbjahr 2020 betrug der Verlust der DB AG 3,7 Mrd. Euro. Dennoch soll auch vor diesem Hintergrund an der Einstel- lungsoffensive festgehalten werden (https://www.welt.de/wirtschaft/article212 520931/Deutsche-Bahn-macht-Rekordverlust-Minus-von-3-7-Milliarden-Eur o.html). Gleichzeitig die wirtschaftlichen Folgen der Corona-Krise einzudämmen und tausende neue Mitarbeiter einzustellen, stellt die DB AG unweigerlich vor einen Zielkonflikt. Denn neben einer geplanten Eigenkapitalerhöhung durch den Bund und einer Erhöhung der Schuldenobergrenze des Konzerns soll die DB AG selbst bis zu 5,1 Mrd. Euro „beim Personal- und Sachaufwand“ ein- sparen, um die Pandemieschäden teilweise auszugleichen (https://www.rn d.de/politik/bund-will-eigenkapital-der-bahn-erhohen-und-verschuldungsgren ze-anheben-S6MUIAJLDT5AV6O7F5OWPQ5XVI.html).
