[0002] In recent years, with the increase of the coal resource mining depth, mines in the eastern region of China have gradually entered deep mining. One of the main problems in deep mining is the heat hazard problem. For many years, the geothermal heat in deep mines has mainly been treated in the form of heat hazards, and the underground heat sources have not been effectively utilized. Therefore, extracting the heat source of deep mines has become an urgent problem to be solved in the eastern mining areas at present. According to the actual geological conditions of the mine, the present invention proposes geothermal extraction type functional filling, mine pressure sensing type functional filling and gas sequestration type functional filling types and corresponding methods for selecting filling materials.

[0003] For mines with poor geological conditions, real-time monitoring of mine pressure is the guarantee for the safe production of the mine; the environmental impacts such as global warming caused by the emissions of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide have promoted scholars to study the methods of gas capture and collection and their filling, sequestration and utilization in coal mines. At the same time, along with the large-scale exploitation of coal resources, the current situation of a large amount of coal-based solid wastes piling up urgently needs to be changed. In order to utilize coal-based solid wastes on a large scale and resourcefully, the research and development of coal-based filling materials have been continuously developed and improved.

[0004] In the process of filling coal mining, in order to accurately select filling materials according to different geological conditions and actual requirements, a method for selecting coal-based solid waste type functional filling materials needs to be established, so as to realize the comprehensive utilization of coal-based solid wastes while ensuring production safety and achieve green coal mining.

[0029] The following will describe in detail a method for selecting a coal - based solid - waste - type functional filling material of the present invention with reference to the drawings.

[0030] The present invention discloses a method for selecting a coal-based solid waste type functional filling material, which mainly includes coal-based filling materials, including but not limited to solid waste materials generated during coal mining such as slime, cement, fly ash, and coal gangue. The solid waste type refers to the role of solid waste disposal of the filling material. First, determine the geological condition characteristics according to the actual situation of the mine. The geological conditions include good geological conditions, high ground temperature, poor geological conditions, or stable roof, etc. Secondly, based on different functional characteristics, perform functional selection. The functional selection includes geothermal extraction, gas sequestration, and mine pressure perception, and there are differences in their characteristics in terms of surrounding rock temperature, surrounding rock thermal conductivity, uniaxial compressive strength, and the distribution of main and secondary key strata.

The present invention provides a theoretical reference for the method of selecting coal-based solid waste type functional filling materials for mines with different geological conditions and actual needs, and provides effective theoretical support for better realizing the green mining technologies of coal and heat co-mining, real-time mine pressure monitoring, or gas geological storage.

[0031] The present invention provides a method for selecting a coal-based solid waste type functional filling material, as Figure 1 shown, including the following steps:

[0032] S1. Determine the geological condition characteristics according to the actual situation of the mine;

[0033] S2. Based on the geological condition characteristics, perform functional selection to determine the filling type;

[0034] S3. Based on the filling type, correspondingly determine the type of coal-based functional filling material;

[0035] Among them, the filling type includes geothermal extraction type functional filling, gas sequestration type functional filling, and mine pressure perception type functional filling. The corresponding types of coal-based functional filling materials include geothermal extraction type functional filling materials, gas sequestration type functional filling materials, and mine pressure perception type functional filling materials.

[0036] As an implementation manner, the coal-based functional filling material is a coal-based solid waste, and the coal-based solid waste includes at least any one of slime, cement, fly ash, and coal gangue.

[0037] As an implementation manner, the geological condition characteristics include surrounding rock temperature, thermal conductivity, mining depth, distribution of main and secondary key strata, and uniaxial compressive strength.

[0041] (ⅲ) If the above geological condition features are not met, then select the filling type as mine pressure sensing functional filling, and the corresponding type of coal-based functional filling material is mine pressure sensing functional filling material.

[0042] The following further describes the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. According to the following embodiments, the present invention can be better understood. However, those skilled in the art can easily understand that the specific material ratios, process conditions and their results described in the embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention, and should not and will not limit the present invention described in detail in the claims.

[0043] Example 1

[0044] Taking a filling mine as an example, the specific implementation steps are as follows:

[0045] A certain mine enters the deep well mining stage, and the problem of high-temperature heat damage in deep wells has gradually attracted attention. High temperature not only affects the mechanical properties of the surrounding rock, but also seriously affects the production safety of the mine. The existing cooling technology in the mine mainly uses centralized air-conditioning cooling technology, resulting in a large cost burden and technical difficulties such as large depth and high pressure, and poor heat dissipation effect. Now, experimental control mining areas are set up in different mining areas under the same conditions in this mine. The No. 1 mining area maintains the existing cooling equipment and uses conventional filling technology, and the No. 3 mining area is the experimental mining area and uses the method for selecting coal-based solid waste type functional materials described in the present invention to select filling materials.

[0046] Investigate, statistically analyze the geological conditions of a filling mine. This mine uses vertical shaft single-level development, the main level is -835 m level, and the original rock temperature in some areas is as high as 45°C (meeting the requirement of above 40°C), the thermal conductivity of the surrounding rock is 3.16 W / mK, and the geothermal gradient is: 3.42°C / 100 m. It can be seen that this mine has a large mining depth and high geothermal temperature, and the thermal conductivity > 3.0 W / mK. Coal-based solid waste type functional filling materials for geothermal extraction should be selected.

[0047] In Mining Area 1, a centralized air-conditioning cooling system is adopted. The ventilation route is long, heat dissipation is difficult, and the cooling effect is poor. The air temperature in the mining and excavation working faces only drops by 2 - 3 °C, resulting in low efficiency. Working in high temperatures greatly reduces the comfort of workers. In Mining Area 3, a coal-based solid waste type functional backfilling material that extracts geothermal energy is used to fill the goaf. This backfilling material has high thermal conductivity, and geothermal energy is transferred to the circulating water for utilization, enabling efficient extraction of geothermal resources.

[0048] The air temperature in the mining and excavation working faces of Mining Area 3 drops by 8 - 10 °C. Geothermal energy is absorbed from the source, and the cooling effect is remarkable. Moreover, when the mine water just comes out of the ground, heat is directly extracted with little heat loss, and the system efficiency is high. Using this system can not only cool the mine, but also be used for winter shaft anti-freezing, heating for surrounding residents, bathing water, etc., with good social and economic benefits.

[0049] Example 2

[0050] With the continuous development of China's economy, it is difficult to change the current energy consumption structure and mode in a short time. In the next period, China's greenhouse gas emissions will continue to increase. Taking the coal-based solid waste type functional backfilling material for greenhouse gas CO2 sequestration as an example, experimental control mining areas are set up in different mining areas of the same mine under the same conditions. In Mining Area 110503, conventional backfilling technology is adopted, and in Mining Area 110505, which is the experimental mining area, the selection method of the coal-based solid waste type functional material described in the present invention is used to select the backfilling material.

[0051] Given that the original rock temperature of a backfilled mine is 34 °C and the thermal conductivity of the surrounding rock is 3.05 W / mk, which does not meet the condition that the surrounding rock temperature is greater than 40 °C, then the coal-based solid waste type functional backfilling material for geothermal extraction is not applicable. After investigation, the uniaxial compressive strength is 23 MPa, and there are main and secondary key strata in the overlying rock. The thicknesses of the main and secondary key strata are 32 m and 27 m respectively, the rock formation is complete, that is, the rock mass integrity coefficient is 0.95, the joint gap is 4.6 m, and the bedding spacing is 3.7 m. Then the selected backfilling type is gas sequestration type functional backfilling, and the corresponding type of the coal-based functional backfilling material is gas sequestration type functional backfilling material.

[0052] In Mining Area 110505, gas sequestration type functional backfilling material is used for backfilling mining, and the carbon dioxide sequestration amount reaches 7.17×10 5 m 3 . Compared with the conventional backfilling technology used in the 110503 working face, it has stronger functional advantages, can effectively reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and reduce the damage to the atmospheric environment.

[0053] Example 3

[0054] When the roof conditions are unstable, real-time monitoring of the mine pressure data is particularly important for the safety of the mine. In this invention, a comparative experiment was carried out in a certain mine. Conventional filling technology and the coal-based solid waste functional filling material described in this invention were respectively used for filling in two adjacent mining areas with the same geological conditions.

[0055] It is known that the original rock temperature of a filling mine is 36°C and the thermal conductivity of the surrounding rock is 3.12 W / mk, which does not meet the condition that the surrounding rock temperature is greater than 40°C. Therefore, the coal-based solid waste type functional filling material for geothermal extraction is not applicable. After investigation, the uniaxial compressive strength is 19 MPa, and there is only a main key stratum in the overlying strata. The thickness of the main key stratum is 23 m, and the rock mass is intact, that is, the rock mass integrity coefficient is 0.65, which no longer meets one of the conditions that the uniaxial compressive strength UCS≥20 MPa, there are main and secondary key strata in the overlying strata, the thickness of both the main and secondary key strata is more than 20 m, the rock mass is intact, that is, the rock mass integrity coefficient >0.75, the joint gap >3 m, and the bedding spacing >2 m. That is, the coal-based solid waste type functional filling material for geothermal extraction is not applicable. Then the filling type is selected as the mine pressure sensing type functional filling, and the corresponding type of the coal-based functional filling material is the mine pressure sensing type functional filling material.

[0056] Conventional filling technology was used in the 75th mining area; the mine pressure sensing type functional filling material was used for filling in the 76th mining area. The experimental results show that the mine pressure range sensed by the mine pressure in the 76th mining area is 56% higher than that in the 75th mining area, which can more sensitively and immediately monitor the manifestation of the mine pressure and improve the safety of the mine exploitation.

[0057] The above is only the preferred implementation manner of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of the present invention, several improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
