Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of coal mining technology, and in particular to an in-situ water-retaining mining method for aquifers with high salinity and high pressure. Background Technology

[0002] In my country, approximately 60% of coal seams have highly confined aquifers such as Ordovician limestone and Taiyuan limestone in their floor strata, resulting in substantial coal reserves. During coal mining, tunnel excavation above these high-confined aquifers faces the threat of floor water inrush. These aquifers experience high water pressure; for example, some Ordovician floor aquifers can reach pressures exceeding 6.5 MPa, with salinity reaching up to 40 g / L. The hydrochemical environment is complex, rich in H+, Ca2+, Mg2+, K+, OH-, SO42-, and HCO3- ions. Under the influence of high water pressure, high salinity, and complex hydrochemical environment, the floor strata undergo physicochemical processes such as dissolution, corrosion, and ion exchange, leading to deterioration of porosity, pore structure, mineral composition, and mechanical strength. With the cumulative effects of mining and long-term physicochemical processes, the floor gradually corrodes and loses its water-impermeability, resulting in the loss of floor water resources. Meanwhile, the lost high-salinity water enters the mined-out area, forming high-salinity mine water, which increases the difficulty and cost of mine water treatment.

[0003] Currently, research on water-retaining mining of aquifers with high confined foundations mainly focuses on feasibility evaluation and monitoring and early warning. Existing technologies include: 1) a method for determining water-retaining mining based on the dynamic water storage and release characteristics of confined aquifers and the overall water-blocking performance of the effective barrier strata in the mining floor; 2) analysis and early warning based on early warning indicators to achieve early warning for in-situ water-retaining coal mining; and 3) regional grouting modification to improve the strength and reduce permeability of the floor strata, thereby achieving the goal of water-retaining mining of aquifers with high confined foundations.

[0004] The aforementioned existing technologies have given relatively little consideration to the corrosive damage of chemical ions in the aquifer to the underlying rock strata and grouting bodies. Particularly for high-salt, high-pressure aquifers with high salt content and complex hydrochemical ion composition, the combined effects of long-term physicochemical action between water and rock, and the wedge effect of high-pressure water, can lead to cumulative damage to the underlying rock strata and grouting bodies, resulting in corrosion and loss of water-tightness. This presents a new challenge for in-situ water-retaining mining of high-salt, high-pressure aquifers. Summary of the Invention

This refers to the water pressure of the aquifer at the bottom of the slab.

[0011] Furthermore, based on the pre-set water-conserving extraction conditions Adjustments were made to ensure the working face met the conditions for water-retaining mining, including: Water-conserving mining conditions are ,like If necessary, the mining technical parameters of the working face will be adjusted, and the mining process will be changed or the grouting modification method will be used until the water-retaining mining conditions are met.

[0012] Furthermore, the thickness of the grouting for corrosive materials The expression is: ; In the formula, C represents the salinity of the pressurized water in the bottom plate.

[0013] Furthermore, based on the grouting thickness of the corrosion-resistant material... The grouting conditions include injecting corrosion-resistant acrylate grout from the upper edge of the pressurized water guide strip: The grouting area is the intersection of the extended line of the bottom plate boundary angle λ and the upper edge of the pressurized water guide zone; the grouting timing is at least 50m before the working face is mined.

[0014] Furthermore, the risk conditions are: a water pressure drop in the bottom aquifer greater than 10% or a rise in the height of the confined water guide zone during the working face's advance. .
