   Coal mine fire caused by coal spontaneous combustion have caused a large number of coal resources burned, and often induced gas explosion, which causes large economic losses to coal mining enterprises and endangers the lives of coal miners [1]. The gel foam inhibition technology has the advantages of both foam and gel. Before losing liquidity, the gel foam presents a foam state with good fluidity and accumulation. Therefore, gel foam has received extensive attention in the field of preventing coal spontaneous combustion, and has gradually become a research hotspot [2-3]. However, the existing gel foam has a short half-life, which cannot meet the needs of long-term inhibition of coal spontaneous combustion in coal mines. Therefore, the stability of gel foam needs to be further improved. Meanwhile, there is still a lack of research on the film-forming properties of gel foam, and excellent film-forming properties can help to reduce air leakage and isolate oxygen, thus further improving the efficiency of gel foam in preventing coal spontaneous combustion. 



   To further enhance gel foam stability, a super film-forming stabilized biomass gel foam (PE/SA-Ca) with the double network structure was achieved by using pectin (PE), sodium alginate (SA), calcium L-lactate (Ca-L) and biomass foaming systems (BS). The test results showed that the double network gel foam had superior film-forming and stability performances than the single network gel foam. Specifically, when the PE:SA ratio of the double network gel matrix was 5:5, the film thickness of PE/SA-Ca increased from 1 to 4.25 mm and the half-life increased from 3 to 22 days compared to the single network gel foam. In addition, PE /SA-Ca could maintain film integrity at high temperature up to 120 °C. The water retention rates of PE/SA-Ca were increased by 79.5 % compared to pure foam. The inhibition rate of PE/SA-Ca in the inhibition test was as high as 78.06 % at 180 °C. PE/SA-Ca could rapidly reduce the coal fire temperature from 960 to 68.9 °C within 20 min and effectively prevent prevention of coal re-ignition. This research provides a technical method for the development of highly stable, super film-forming and eco-friendly coal fire inhibiting gel foam.
