Analysis of proper position of extraction roadway on roof in high-strength gas emission workface: A case study of Zhaozhuang coal mine in southern Qinshui Basin

When mining high-rank coals with strong adsorption and weak desorption, the fully mechanized mining face of a thick coal seam under full-seam mining may encounter broken coal, surrounding rock and instantaneous release of large amounts of gas into the mining space from adjacent coal seams due to min...
