Underground coal gasification (UCG) produces less pollution and is safer than traditional coal mining. In order to investigate the effects of different gasifying agents or comprehensive analyses of the characteristics of the gas components in the three zones for the reverse underground coal gasification process, a model test was carried out. The results showed that the oxygen concentration of a gasifying agent is recommended to be higher than 21%, which will lead to more combustible gases and a higher calorific value of gas. Higher flow rates and oxygen content generally afforded more desirable gas compositions and calorific values, with the latter as high as 1430.19 kcal/Nm(3). For the enriched oxygen gasifying agent in the reverse gasification process, the flow increase from 10 to 20 Nm(3)/h affords a rapid increase in the growth rate of the flame front, from 1.80 to 4.88 m/day, which is much faster than that for the air gasifying agent. Increasing the gas injection rate and oxygen concentration will increase the growth rate of the flame front. This affects the distribution of the three zones and further leads to different characteristics of the gas components.
