To improve coal seam gas drainage performance, we developed a double-expansive (DE) material to seal the borehole. The swelling process of this material includes an initial swelling stage and a secondary swelling stage. We studied the swelling pressure properties of the DE material under four constraint conditions using a self-made swelling test device. Further, the active support effect of the DE material on the borehole was analyzed by simulating borehole stability with COMSOL Multiphysics software. The results exhibit the following: (1) The swelling pressure of the DE material exhibits time-dependent behavior, and the mathematical relationship between the swelling pressure and time can be obtained by nonlinear fitting. (2) The radial swelling potential is principally formed during the secondary swelling stage, providing the main active support on the radial constraint. (3) The active support imposed on the hole wall can prevent the extension of plastic and damage regions around the borehole, for improved stability of the gas drainage borehole. Finally, field tests demonstrate improved gas drainage performance of the borehole sealed by the DE material compared to a conventional sealing material.

The aim of the study. The objective of this study was to investigate microscopic, physical and chemical properties of bee bread collected in three regions of Latvia in order to compare the quality and to investigate the possibility of producing granules containing bee bread. Material and methods. Microscopic analysis of bee bread samples was performed. Plant herbaria, special literature and internet sources were used for identification of pollen. Thin layer chromatography was used for identification of carotenoids and flavonoids. Granules were prepared by wet granulation method. Lactose, calcium lactate, calcium carbonate, potato starch and purified water were used as excipients. Appearance, loss on drying, pH of aqueous solution and content of carotenes were estimated. Results. Microscopic analysis showed mostly native pollen identified as willow pollen. Beta-carotene identified and 2 carotenoids found by thin layer chromatography. Two zones of flavonoids found on chromatograms at day light and 6 zones at ultra violet light. The comparison of bee bread samples of 3 regions of Latvia showed insignificant differences in appearance and consistency, hydrogen ion concentration 3.93–4.23, loss on drying 7.72–11.07 %; content of carotenes calculated to bcarotene 6.77–9.35 mg%. Stability study of bee bread samples showed greater changes after storage at 40ºC temperature. All compositions of granules showed appropriate appearance and flowability. Quality of granules: loss on drying 5.48–13.5%, content of carotenes calculated to b-carotene 5.77–6.75 mg%. Conclusions. Pollen of willow can be considered as an indicator of the origin of bee bread in Latvia. Bee bread samples of three regions of Latvia have insignificant differences in physical, chemical parameters.
