METHOD AND THE DEVICE FOR PRODUCTION OF THE METHANE OUT OF THE METHANE-AIR MIXTURE Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC C07C9/04 E21F7/00 

FIELD: mining industry; methods and the devices for production of the methane out of the methane-air mixture.

SUBSTANCE: the invention is pertaining to the method of production of the methane out of the methane-air mixture and may be used for salvaging the mining methane escaping at the commercial development of the gassy seams of the minerals. The method provides, that after compression the methane-air mixture is gated through the water solution of the hydroquinone at the pressure of no less than 3 MPa and the temperature of not above +2°С, where the air is separated with formation of the clathrates of the methane with the hydroquinone, which then are heated and after that the precipitated out of them methane is fed to salvaging, and the hydroquinone water solution is repeatedly used in the production cycle. The invention also presents the device for production of the methane from the methane-air mixture. The technical result of the invention is the decrease of the power inputs and simplification of the production process.

EFFECT: the invention ensures the decreased power inputs, simplification of the production process.
