WHAT IS COAL SEAM GAS (CSG)? CSG is a naturally occurring methane gas which is known as Coal Bed Methane (CBM). It is a-by product of ancient plant matter that has formed over millions of years by the same natural processes which produce coal. Not long ago this gas was identified as a major problem in the underground coal mining industry due to it’s high flammability despite this‚ it is now recognised as a very profitable resource. The coal seams are generally filled with water and it is the

of fresh water during the first tapping of the well and 1-7 million gallons of fresh water during subsequent drillings (Steingraber 271). The fresh water is then mixed with about 10‚000 – 40‚000 gallons of chemicals. Chemicals‚ such as benzene‚ toluene‚ ethyl benzene‚ arsenic and xylene‚ contaminate the water and make it highly toxic to humans‚ animals and wildlife (Fox).

Isolation‚ purification and characterization of alkaloid caffeine from tea leaves Date Submitted: September 3‚ 2014 Abstract Caffeine is one of the main constituents of tea leaves. In this experiment‚ 0.0039 g of pure caffeine was isolated from tea leaves. This was done through solid-liquid extraction followed by multiple liquid-liquid extraction. Then crude material obtained was then purified by sublimation. The isolated caffeine was subjected to thin layer chromatography (TLC) together

Hydraulic fracturing is when a hole or "well" is drilled deep into the ground‚ in an effort to extract valuable natural gas reserves which exist beneath the surface. The process of constructing a hydraulic fracturing well includes drilling into the Earth--first vertically and then horizontally‚ then lining the well with a two-terminal tube with one terminal that is filled with water while the other pipes the recovered natural gases up above ground (Withgott & Laposata‚ 2014).
