Description

Background Art

[0002] Low-concentration gas is coalbed methane with a methane concentration lower than 30%, which is divided into ventilation-exhausted gas, also known as exhausted air, and extracted gas. Among them, exhausted air gas is coal mine gas with a methane concentration lower than 0.75%.

[0003] At present, most of the extracted gas with a methane concentration lower than 10% is directly discharged. Only a very small number of coal mines oxidize a part of the low-concentration gas through a thermal countercurrent oxidation device. However, there are many problems with this oxidation treatment method. The main problems are that the bed temperature fluctuates greatly, the system device is complicated, and the increase in moving parts makes it easy to malfunction during on-site operation. In addition, when the device is enlarged, the gas flow distribution inside the device is uneven, which easily leads to gas accumulation and poses a great safety hazard. Summary of the Invention
