Air-quality measurements in a deep underground mine are a critical issue. The cost of ventilation, as well as the geometry of the considered mine, make this process very difficult, and local air quality may be a danger to miners. Thus, portable, personal devices are required to inform miners about gas hazards. There are available tools for that purpose; however, they do not allow the storage of data collected during a shift. Moreover, they do not allow the basic analysis of the acquired data cost-effectively. This paper aims to present a system using low-cost gas sensors and microcontrollers, and takes advantage of commonly used smartphones as a computing and visualization resource. Finally, we demonstrate monitoring system results from a test in an underground mine located in Poland.

Hydrogen sulphide (H2S) occurs in groundwater in various lithostratigraphic units of the Zechstein Basin in the Legnica-Głogów Copper Basin (SW Poland). This region is located in the Fore-Sudetic Monocline within which, several tens of kilometres NE of the study area, at greater depths, natural gas fields with hydrogen sulphide (H2S) occur. The Main Dolomite (Ca2), in which H2S-containing natural gas has accumulated, is younger than the Zechstein Limestone (Ca1), which is actively mined. The Ca2 and Ca1 formations are separated by a thick anhydrite succession including a wedge-shaped salt body. Hydrochemical analyses of 18 groundwater samples taken from different horizons within the Zechstein strata showed spatial variability ofH2S and chloride concentrations. A conceptual model of groundwater flow with dissolved H2S in the Zechstein formations was developed. H2S migration is associated with groundwater flow between the Ca2 and Ca1 aquifers through fissures in the anhydrite strata that separate them. Hydraulic contact through fissures in the anhydrite layers is the result of long-term exploitation of the underground copper deposit. Groundwater flow between the layers is influenced by a large change in the piezometric pressure of the groundwater in the depression cone caused by mining drainage.

“…The current research on sulfur-rich natural gas mainly focuses on compositions and isotopes of sulfur compounds and H 2 S origin (Cai et al, 2022;Liu et al, 2016;Shi et al, 2021;Tian et al, 2021;Wu et al, 2019;Zhu et al, 2017). Three primary H 2 S sources are identi ed based on burial depth and thermal maturity (Milkov et al, 2020): bacterial sulfate reduction (BSR), thermochemical sulfate reduction (TSR) and thermal decomposition reaction (TDR) (Etiope et al, 2006;Morad et al, 2019;Tan et al, 2020;Zhu et al, 2011). Also, a small amount of H 2 S are derived from tectonic activities and volcanic eruptions, etc., where hydrogen sul de was not stable during migration and preservation (Li et al, 2019;Tian et al, 2021;Zhu et al, 2019).…”

“…The BSR is one of the main contributors for abundant hydrogen sul de in oil and gas reservoirs (Hao et al, 2008), with organic matter and sulfates as reactants (Cai et al, 2022;Zhang et al, 2014). It generally occurs at shallow-buried reservoirs with the participation of sulfatereducing bacteria under low temperature (< 60℃, with the peak at 20-40℃), which is a hot topic in recent research on oil and gas reservoirs (Bhattarai et al, 2019;Liu et al, 2012;Tan et al, 2020;Zhu et al, 2011).…”

Sulfur-rich natural gas reservoirs have been discovered in the southwestern margin of the Qaidam Basin, marking a breakthrough in the Cenozoic natural gas exploration. 16S rRNA extraction and analysis were performed on crude oil samples from H2S-rich reservoirs at the Yuejin, Shizigou and Huatugou profiles to understand the sulfurous gas origination, which was also intergrated with carbon and hydrogen isotopes of alkane and sulfur isotopes of H2S collected from the Yingxiongling Area. Results show that microorganisms in crude oil can be classified into Proteobacteria, Planctomycetes, Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, Haloanaerobe, etc., which can survive in hypersaline reservoirs. Methanogens and nitrate-reducing bacteria are popular in three profiles, while sulfate-reducing bacteria are abundant in Yuejin and Huatugou profiles, which contributed to methane and H2S in natural gas. The gas components and sulfur isotopes at the Yingxiongling Area show that the natural gas was mixed by coal-type gas and oil-type gas, which was primarily derived from thermal degradation, and natural gas from the Yuejin and Huatugou profiles also origniated from biodegradation. It agrees well with the tested microbial sequencing, i.e., H2S-rich natural gas from the Cenozoic reservoirs in the southwest margin of the Qaidam Basin was primarily thermal genesis, with microbial genesis of secondary importance.
