The paper discusses the application possibilities of ceramic foam in a thermal combustion process of a lean methane–air mixture. The experiments were done in a ceramic foam bed. The foam (Vukoporr A) was made mainly of Al2O3. The foam samples were...

The work refers to the important problem of methane emissions in relation to the ventilation air methane (VAM) emitted to the atmosphere. VAM is fuel that remains unused in most mines around the world due to the low content of the combustible component...
