Abstract
The paper focuses on the issue of methane control in mine using biotechnological methods. One of the ways to reduce methane concentration is application of living organisms that consume methane, i.e. methane-oxidizing bacteria. Information is provided on the species composition of methanotrophic bacteria that occur in natural environment, as well as on the specific features of metabolic ways of methane oxidation by microorganisms. Areas of application of methane-oxidizing bacteria are identified in industry and agriculture, for production of microbial protein as a feed additive for livestock, in synthesis of the target compounds and methane control in coal mines. Experience of methane control using methane-oxidizing bacteria in the coal mines of Donbass in the 1980s is described as well as technical and technological features of industrial implementation of such approach at the operating mines together with the composition and methods of the nutrient media preparation, possibilities of the microbial biomass transportation to the places of utilization, examples of its successful application and the efficiency of such measures. Advantages of microbiological methane control are shown in comparison with the conventional methods of methane drainage. Recommendations for further ways of research and development are given. The technology of microbiological oxidation of methane in mines needs to be improved towards increasing the rate of methane oxidation, regulation of methanotrophs feeding control, increasing the area of contact of the microbial suspension with methane.
