The changes and transformation laws of intermediate liquid-phase products during the anaerobic degradation of lignite by sulfate-reducing bacteria in the formation of hydrogen sulfide play an important role in supplementing and improving the existing theories on the genesis of hydrogen sulfide gas in coal mines. In this paper, HS gas and key intermediate liquid-phase products produced during the anaerobic degradation of lignite by sulfate-reducing bacteria were detected and analyzed by gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The results showed that the process of hydrogen sulfide production from lignite degradation by sulfate-reducing bacteria can be roughly divided into four stages: slow production phase, rapid growth phase, steady production phase, and slight decline phase.

Environmental factors such as temperature and pH play a crucial role in the metabolism and degradation of coal by sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB). In this study, coal samples were selected from Shengli Coal Mine, and SRB strains were isolated and purified from mine water using a dilution spread-plate anaerobic cultivation method.

UUCs have brought much convenience to people's lives. However, due to their enclosed nature and complexity, it has been an urgent issue to avoid (or reduce) casualties and allow rapid and safe evacuation of people during an emergency.

Sudden emission and casualty accidents caused by abnormal enrichment of hydrogen sulfide (HS) in coal mines are becoming frequent increasingly, causing major casualties and environmental pollution. Scholars in various countries have developed various measuring devices for hydrogen sulfide content in coal and rock formations and their calculation methods. The existing prevention and control technologies of HS in coal mines were summarized in various countries.
