MINE VENTING METHOD AND DEVICE Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC E21F1/00 

FIELD: mining, particularly to vent ore and rock mines.

SUBSTANCE: method involves mixing fresh and exhaust air by blasting fuel mixture; forming suction jet, which discharges exhaust air outside the mine. Fuel mixture components are supplied by compressed nitrogen. Air mixing is performed with the use of mixture including sodium permanganate and hydrogen peroxide taken in ratio of 1:(3-10). The suction jet is formed by exhaust air ejection. Venting plant is arranged at bottom mine level. Device comprises body with nozzle arranged over fuel mixture and control panel. The device additionally has nitrogen, sodium permanganate and hydrogen peroxide vessels. Venting pipeline is secured to body nozzle. The venting pipeline is provided with jets to supply hydrogen peroxide and sodium permanganate connected with compressed nitrogen cylinder through control panel. The venting pipeline is composed of separate sections put one on another and provided with conical flares. The flares and adjacent sections define annular air suction slots.

EFFECT: provision of independent operation, simplified structure, increased operational safety and reduced power inputs for mine venting.
