TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of gas and coal self-ignition collaborative control, and discloses a method for collaborative control of gas and coal self-ignition in a fully-mechanized caving face passing through a fault. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, there are many mine main coal seams goaf in China, and gas disaster and coal self-ignition disaster exist simultaneously. The coupling effect of the two disasters makes the disaster cause complex, and once the disaster occurs, the consequences are extremely serious. In order to effectively prevent and control the gas and coal coupling disaster, domestic and foreign scholars have carried out a lot of research. However, the existing research methods are mainly aimed at normal mining of fully-mechanized mining face, and no research on the control of goaf gas and coal self-ignition during the fully-mechanized mining face passing through the fault has been found.
[0003] When the fully-mechanized mining face passes through the fault, the mining advancing speed slows down, the air leakage increases, a large amount of residual coal is left, the oxidation zone of the goaf is exposed for a long time, and coal self-ignition is extremely easy to occur. In addition, due to the particularity of the fault structure, a large amount of gas may be present in the fault itself. Therefore, compared with normal mining, the goaf during the fully-mechanized mining face passing through the fault is more prone to gas and coal self-ignition coupling disasters. The present application proposes a method for collaborative control of gas and coal self-ignition in the goaf during the fully-mechanized mining face passing through the fault. The method has great economic value and very important social significance for preventing and controlling the gas and coal self-ignition coupling disasters during the fully-mechanized mining face passing through the fault, ensuring the safety of mine production, and improving the underground working environment.
