Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of coal mining, in particular to a method for shortening the safe distance between an underground reservoir and a coal mining space. Background Art
[0002] Western China is the main coal-producing region in my country, accounting for approximately 70% of national coal production, with an increasing trend. However, located in an arid and semi-arid ecologically fragile region, western China suffers from water scarcity, accounting for only 3.9% of my country's total water resources. Furthermore, surface evaporation is high, exceeding precipitation by more than six times.
[0003] Among the relevant technologies, in response to the large amount of mine water generated by coal mining, after more than 20 years of continuous technological development and engineering practice, the innovative coal mine underground water reservoir technology was proposed, which avoided the problem of large evaporation of ground water storage and land salinization. It was successfully applied in engineering practice, and more than 30 coal mine underground water reservoirs were built with a maximum water storage capacity of 31 million cubic meters, supplying more than 95% of the production, living and ecological water in the mining area, providing water resource guarantee for the development of the mining area.

[0034] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present invention and its application or use. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0035] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for shortening the safety distance between an underground reservoir and a coal mining space. The method for shortening the safety distance between an underground reservoir 10 and a coal mining space 20 includes:
[0036] S100, exploring the rock layer between the underground water reservoir 10 and the coal mining space 20, and preparing an initial standard rock sample based on the exploration results;
[0037] S200, obtaining mechanical parameters of an initial standard rock sample;
[0038] S300, conducting an initial simulation experiment based on the mechanical parameters of the initial standard rock sample;
[0039] S400: Determine a reinforcement plan for the rock layer between the underground reservoir 10 and the coal mining space 20 based on the experimental results of the initial simulation experiment, conduct coal mining based on the initial safe mining distance L1, and after the coal mining space 20 is mined, reinforce the rock layer between the underground reservoir 10 and the coal mining space 20 according to the reinforcement plan;
[0040] S500, exploring the rock layer between the reinforced underground water reservoir 10 and the coal mining space 20, and preparing a reinforcement standard rock sample based on the exploration results;
[0041] S600, obtaining mechanical parameters of the reinforced standard rock sample;
[0042] S700 , performing a secondary simulation experiment based on the mechanical parameters of the reinforced standard rock sample, and determining a safe mining distance L2 of the reinforced coal mining space 20 based on the experimental results of the secondary simulation experiment.
[0043] The method for shortening the safe distance between the underground reservoir and the coal mining space provided by the present embodiment includes exploring the rock strata between the underground reservoir 10 and the coal mining space 20 to understand the composition, structure and thickness of the rock strata, and making initial standard rock samples based on the exploration results, and conducting experiments using the initial standard rock samples to obtain the mechanical parameters of the initial standard rock samples. By obtaining the mechanical parameters of the initial standard rock samples, an initial simulation experiment is conducted to understand the crack development and permeability of the rock strata between the underground reservoir 10 and the coal mining space 20, and then determine a reinforcement plan for the rock strata, so that when the coal is mined and mined, the rock strata can be reinforced. When the initial safe mining distance L1 is reached, the rock stratum between the underground water reservoir 10 and the coal mining space 20 is reinforced, and the reinforced rock stratum is explored to understand the composition, structure and thickness of the reinforced rock stratum, and a reinforced standard rock sample is made according to the exploration results. The reinforced standard rock sample is used for experiments to obtain the mechanical parameters of the reinforced standard rock sample. A secondary simulation experiment is carried out by obtaining the mechanical parameters of the reinforced standard rock sample to understand the fracture development and permeability of the reinforced rock stratum, and then determine the safe mining distance L2 after reinforcement, and continue to mine coal, so that after the rock stratum is reinforced, it is possible to continue to mine coal, and the coal mining rate can be improved without damaging the rock stratum.
[0044] It should be noted that the initial safe mining distance L1 refers to the horizontal distance between the coal mining face and the boundary of the coal pillar dam of the underground water reservoir 10 when mining from right to left. In the related art, coal resources within the safe distance cannot be mined, resulting in waste of coal resources. The safety distance referred to is the initial safe mining distance L1.
[0045] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, during the process of coal mining according to the initial safe mining distance L1, or after the coal mining according to the initial safe mining distance L1 is completed, the method of shortening the safe distance between the underground reservoir 10 and the coal mining space 20 further includes:
[0046] The coal mining space 20 is reinforced by using a filling process for the goaf 30. Through the above steps, coal mining is carried out after determining the initial safe mining distance L1. During the mining process, the goaf 30 is filled and reinforced using the filling process to avoid the development of cracks and prevent rock collapse. Alternatively, after mining reaches the initial safe mining distance L1, when mining is resumed, the goaf 30 is filled, thereby avoiding the need to continue mining after reaching the initial safe distance L1, preventing the problem of rock cracks being connected to the underground water reservoir 10, and thus reinforcing the rock stratum and improving the coal mining rate.
[0047] In this embodiment, after step S400 of reinforcing the rock layer between the underground reservoir 10 and the coal mining space 20 according to the reinforcement plan, the method of shortening the safe distance between the underground reservoir 10 and the coal mining space 20 further includes:
[0048] The rock stratum between the reinforced underground water reservoir 10 and the coal mining space 20 is subjected to safety monitoring, and secondary reinforcement of the rock stratum between the underground water reservoir 10 and the coal mining space 20 is performed based on the monitoring results. Through the above steps, after the rock stratum between the underground water reservoir 10 and the coal mining space 20 is reinforced, the rock stratum is subjected to safety monitoring, and the cracks and permeability of the rock stratum can be monitored in real time. Then, based on the monitoring results, it can be determined whether the rock stratum between the underground water reservoir 10 and the coal mining space 20 should be subjected to secondary reinforcement. This can ensure the safety and reliability of the coal mining process and improve the coal mining rate.
[0049] like Figure 2 As shown, the steps of conducting safety monitoring on the rock layer between the reinforced underground reservoir 10 and the coal mining space 20 and reinforcing the rock layer between the underground reservoir 10 and the coal mining space 20 according to the monitoring results include:
[0050] S410, obtaining the actual mining distance of the coal mining space 20;
[0051] S420, when the actual mining distance of the coal mining space 20 is between the initial safe mining distance L1 of the coal mining space 20 and the safe mining distance L2 of the reinforced coal mining space 20, monitoring the state parameters of the rock formation between the underground water reservoir 10 and the coal mining space 20;
[0052] S430: When the state parameter of the rock stratum between the underground reservoir 10 and the coal mining space 20 is greater than the warning value, the rock stratum between the underground reservoir 10 and the coal mining space 20 is reinforced for a second time. Through the above steps, after the rock stratum between the underground reservoir 10 and the coal mining space 20 is reinforced, the coal seam in the coal mining space 20 is mined again. By obtaining the actual mining distance of the coal mining space 20, when the actual mining distance of the coal mining space 20 is between the initial safe distance L1 and the reinforced safe mining distance L2, the state parameter of the rock stratum is monitored in real time. When the state parameter is greater than the warning value, the rock stratum is reinforced for a second time to prevent the further development of rock stratum cracks, thereby ensuring the safety of coal mining work while continuing to mine coal.
[0053] It should be noted that the safety monitoring measures are to arrange optical fibers and flow meters in the fracture development area to monitor the fractures, stress and seepage status of the rock formation when the mining distance exceeds the initial safe mining distance L1 and does not reach the reinforced safe mining distance L2.
[0054] Among them, the prevention and control measures are to reserve grouting holes in the tunnels around the underground reservoir. When the monitored value exceeds the warning value, grouting reinforcement is carried out through the reserved grouting holes. The reserved grouting holes and sensors are drilled downward in the tunnels around the underground reservoir 10.
[0055] Specifically, the stress warning value is set to a detected long-term load value exceeding 0.8 times the long-term strength of the reinforced rock layer, and the seepage warning value is set to 0.7 times the permeability after the reinforced rock layer is connected to the underground reservoir 10.
[0056] like Figure 4 As shown, the step of mining coal according to the initial safe mining distance L1 includes: determining the initial safe mining distance L1 of the coal mining space 20 based on the experimental results of the initial simulation experiment, and mining coal according to the initial safe mining distance L1. Through the above steps, the initial safe mining distance L1 can be determined based on the experimental results of the initial simulation experiment, so that when mining coal, it is avoided to continue mining when the initial safe mining distance L1 is reached, thereby avoiding dangerous accidents.
[0057] like Figure 4 As shown, the method of shortening the safe distance between the underground water reservoir 10 and the coal mining space 20 also includes:
[0058] Conducting a preliminary simulation experiment based on the mechanical parameters of the initial standard rock sample, and determining the unstable mining distance L3 of the rock layer between the underground water reservoir 10 and the coal mining space 20 based on the experimental results of the preliminary simulation experiment;
[0059] The reinforcement scheme's casing 40 construction parameters are determined based on the unstable mining distance L3 of the rock formation between the underground reservoir 10 and the coal mining space 20. Through the above steps, the unstable mining distance L3 of the rock formation between the underground reservoir 10 and the coal mining space 20 is determined based on the experimental results of the initial simulation experiment, thereby determining the fracture development boundary. This allows the use of casing 40 to reinforce the rock formation during construction, thereby preventing further expansion of fractures and improving the reinforcement effect of the rock formation.
[0060] It should be noted that the reinforcement plan is to determine the position of the grouting hole in the rock formation when the coal mining space is mined to the initial safe mining distance L1, and install the casing 40 through the grouting hole, and inject grouting reinforcement material into the rock formation from the small holes on the side wall of the casing 40. The height of the grouting hole is not less than 60% of the thickness of the interlayer rock mass, and the connection between the rock formation cracks and the underground water reservoir 10 cracks is blocked.
[0061] Grouting materials include cement and water glass double slurry and chemical slurry. The water-cement ratio of cement and water glass double slurry is between 1:0.4 and 1:0.6, and the volume ratio of cement slurry to water glass is between 1:0.6 and 1:0.8. Chemical slurry is a mixture of urea-formaldehyde resin and acidic curing agent, with a ratio between 3:1 and 3.5:1. Taking into account factors such as material cost and construction time, the most economical grouting solution should be selected. After grouting reinforcement, the permeability of the reinforced rock layer should be reduced to less than 0.8 times the pre-reinforcement rate.
[0062] Specifically, by determining the unstable mining distance L3 of the rock formation between the underground reservoir 10 and the coal mining space 20, and then determining the boundary where the rock formation becomes unstable and the cracks expand and become conductive, and then determining the distance and angle of the crack expansion, the length and angle of the casing inserted into the grouting hole during grouting can be determined, so that the expanded cracks can be reinforced by grouting to ensure the stability of the rock formation between the underground reservoir 10 and the coal mining space.
[0063] In this embodiment, the steps of conducting an initial simulation experiment based on the mechanical parameters of an initial standard rock sample, determining an initial safe mining distance L1 of the coal mining space 20 based on the initial simulation experiment, and determining an unstable mining distance L3 of the rock stratum between the underground water reservoir 10 and the coal mining space 20 based on the initial simulation experiment include:
[0064] Numerical simulation experiments and similarity simulation experiments are carried out based on the mechanical parameters of the initial standard rock samples;
[0065] Based on numerical simulation experiments and similar simulation experiments, the development of fractures and permeability of the rock layer between the underground water reservoir 10 and the coal mining space 20 during the mining process is analyzed;
[0066] The initial safe mining distance L1 of the coal mining space 20 and the unstable mining distance L3 of the rock stratum between the underground reservoir 10 and the coal mining space 20 are determined based on the development of fractures and permeability of the rock stratum between the underground reservoir 10 and the coal mining space 20. Through the above steps, numerical simulation experiments and similar simulation experiments are carried out based on the mechanical parameters of the initial standard rock samples, so that the obtained mechanical parameters are used to carry out simulation experiments on the standard rock samples under working conditions to obtain the changes in fracture development and permeability. The development of fractures and permeability of the rock stratum during the coal mining process is determined through similar simulation experiments, which facilitates the determination of the initial safe mining distance L1 and the unstable mining distance L3 of the rock stratum between the underground reservoir 10 and the coal mining space 20, thereby improving the safety of coal mining.
[0067] It should be noted that physical and mechanical tests are carried out on the initial standard rock samples, among which the physical and mechanical tests include water absorption test, saturated water absorption test, Brazilian splitting test, uniaxial test, and conventional triaxial test to obtain the basic physical and mechanical parameters of the rock formation, such as water absorption rate, saturated water absorption rate, uniaxial compressive strength, triaxial compressive strength, permeability coefficient and elastic modulus.
[0068] like Figure 3 As shown, a secondary simulation experiment is performed based on the mechanical parameters of the reinforced standard rock sample, and step S700 of determining the safe mining distance L2 of the reinforced coal mining space 20 based on the experimental results of the secondary simulation experiment includes:
[0069] S710. Conduct numerical simulation experiments and similarity simulation experiments based on the mechanical parameters of the reinforced standard rock sample;
[0070] S720, analyzing the development of fractures and permeability of the rock layer between the underground water reservoir 10 and the coal mining space 20 during the mining process based on numerical simulation experiments and similar simulation experiments;
[0071] S730: Determine the safe mining distance L2 of the reinforced coal mining space 20 based on the development of fractures and permeability in the rock strata between the underground water reservoir 10 and the coal mining space 20. Through the above steps, numerical simulation experiments and similarity simulation experiments are conducted on the mechanical parameters obtained from the secondary experiments on the reinforced standard rock samples. The obtained mechanical parameters are then used to simulate the reinforced standard rock samples under working conditions to determine changes in fracture development and permeability. Similarity simulation experiments are then used to determine changes in fractures and permeability in the rock strata during coal mining. This facilitates determining the safe mining distance L2 of the reinforced coal mining space 20 and improves coal mining safety.
[0072] In this embodiment, the steps of conducting an initial simulation experiment based on the mechanical parameters of the initial standard rock sample, determining an initial safe mining distance L1 of the coal mining space 20 based on the initial simulation experiment, and conducting an initial simulation experiment based on the mechanical parameters of the initial standard rock sample, and determining an unstable mining distance L3 of the rock layer between the underground water reservoir 10 and the coal mining space 20 based on the experimental results of the initial simulation experiment include:
[0073] The initial safe mining distance L1 of the coal mining space 20 and the unstable mining distance L3 of the rock stratum between the underground reservoir 10 and the coal mining space 20 are obtained by the following formula:
[0074] ,
[0075] ,
[0076] Among them, k is the safety factor for calculating the coal pillar dam;
[0077] S1 is the horizontal distance between the mining face of the coal mining space 20 and the underground water reservoir 10 when the mining stress is equal to the shear strength of the initial standard rock sample;
[0078] S2 is the horizontal distance between the mining working face of the coal mining space 20 and the underground reservoir 10 when the cracks in the rock strata between the underground reservoir 10 and the coal mining space 20 continue to expand without being disturbed;
[0079] S3 is the horizontal distance between the mining face of coal mining space 20 and underground reservoir 10 when the fissures beneath underground reservoir 10 are connected to the fissures in the rock formation between underground reservoir 10 and coal mining space 20. The above steps facilitate confirmation of the initial safety distance L1 and the unstable mining distance L3, thereby facilitating coal mining.
[0080] The safety factor k ranges from 1.1 to 1.3.
[0081] In this embodiment, the step S700 of determining the safe mining distance L2 of the reinforced coal mining space 20 according to the experimental results of the secondary simulation experiment includes:
[0082] The safe mining distance L2 of the reinforced coal mining space 20 is obtained by the following formula:
[0083] ,
[0084] Among them, k is the safety factor for calculating the coal pillar dam;
[0085] S1 is the horizontal distance between the mining face of the coal mining space 20 and the underground water reservoir 10 when the mining stress is equal to the shear strength of the reinforced standard rock sample;
[0086] S2 is the horizontal distance between the mining working face of the coal mining space 20 and the underground reservoir 10 when the cracks in the rock strata between the reinforced underground reservoir 10 and the coal mining space 20 continue to expand without being disturbed;
[0087] S3 This is the horizontal distance between the mining working face of coal mining space 20 and underground reservoir 10 when the fissures beneath underground reservoir 10 communicate with the fissures in the rock strata between the reinforced underground reservoir 10 and coal mining space 20. Through the above steps, the safe mining distance L2 of the reinforced coal mining space 20 can be determined, thereby ensuring the safety of the mining process and improving the coal recovery rate during coal mining.
[0088] In this embodiment, the step of obtaining the mechanical parameters of the initial standard rock sample includes:
[0089] Conducting axial cyclic loading mechanics and seepage tests on the initial standard rock sample to obtain the fatigue strength and first permeability of the rock formation between the underground water reservoir 10 and the coal mining space 20 under mining conditions;
[0090] The initial standard rock sample is subjected to unloading confining pressure creep mechanics and seepage tests to obtain the long-term strength and second permeability of the rock formation between the underground water reservoir 10 and the coal mining space 20 under mining conditions. Through the above steps, when obtaining the mechanical parameters of the initial standard rock sample, it is necessary to conduct circumferential cyclic loading mechanics and seepage tests on the initial standard rock sample to obtain the fatigue strength and first permeability of the rock formation that can be obtained when coal is mined, and then determine the development of cracks in the rock formation during mining. After the circumferential cyclic loading mechanics and seepage tests are completed, the standard rock sample is subjected to unloading confining pressure creep mechanics and seepage tests to obtain the long-term strength and second permeability of the rock formation, which is convenient for measurement. The mechanical parameters of the initial standard rock sample are further determined through the above experiments to facilitate mining of the coal mining space below the rock formation.
[0091] It should be noted that the circumferential cyclic loading mechanics and seepage test simulates the effects of mining-induced disturbance stress on the strength and permeability of the rock formation, determining fatigue strength and permeability under mining conditions. Based on fatigue strength, the Mohr-Coulomb criterion can be used to determine the shear strength of the rock formation under mining conditions, thereby determining the initial safe distance L1 for fracture conduction. Axial and confining pressures are first applied to the initial stress state of the standard rock sample, where the triaxial stresses are equal. The axial and confining pressures are then simultaneously unloaded to simulate mining disturbance. Finally, maintaining the confining pressure constant, the axial stress is applied at a gradient of 10% of the triaxial compressive strength until the initial standard rock sample fails. Permeability is measured after each stress cycle.
[0092] The unloading confining pressure creep mechanics and seepage experiment simulates the effects of long-term underground reservoir operation on rock formation strength and permeability. The physical and mechanical parameters obtained include long-term strength and permeability under disturbance conditions. Based on the long-term strength, the Mohr-Coulomb criterion is used to determine the shear strength of the rock formation under long-term mining disturbance. The permeability obtained provides a basis for determining the fracture conductivity standard when determining the safety distance. The loading path for the unloading confining pressure creep mechanics and seepage experiment is as follows: first, axial pressure and confining pressure are applied to the original rock stress state, at which the three-dimensional stresses are equal; then, while maintaining the confining pressure constant, the axial pressure is applied to a predetermined value, which is generally the long-term load of the rock sample during mining disturbance; finally, while maintaining the axial pressure constant, the confining pressure is unloaded step by step, with each confining pressure gradient maintaining the stress state for at least 24 hours. Permeability is measured after each stress change.
[0093] The technical solution provided by the embodiment has the following beneficial effects:
[0094] (1) When mining coal to the initial safe mining distance L1, the rock layer between the underground reservoir 10 and the coal mining space 20 is reinforced, and the reinforced rock layer is explored, and reinforced standard rock samples are prepared. Experiments are conducted using the reinforced standard rock samples to understand the fracture development and permeability of the reinforced rock layer, and then the safe mining distance L2 after reinforcement is determined, and coal mining continues to improve the coal mining rate;
[0095] (2) After the rock layer between the underground reservoir 10 and the coal mining space 20 is reinforced, the rock layer is monitored for safety, and the cracks and permeability of the rock layer can be monitored in real time. Then, according to the monitoring results, it can be determined whether the rock layer between the underground reservoir 10 and the coal mining space 20 should be reinforced for a second time, which can ensure the safety and reliability of the coal mining process and improve the coal mining rate;
[0096] (3) Based on the results of the initial simulation experiment, the unstable mining distance L3 of the rock layer between the underground water reservoir 10 and the coal mining space 20 is determined, and then the fracture development boundary is determined, so that when the rock layer is reinforced, the rock layer is constructed by using the casing 40, and then the rock layer is reinforced by using the casing 40, thereby preventing the fracture from continuing to expand and improving the reinforcement effect of the rock layer.

In all examples shown and discussed here, any specific value should be interpreted as being merely exemplary, rather than as a limitation. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments can have different values. It should be noted that similar numbers and letters represent similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in an accompanying drawing, it does not need to be further discussed in subsequent drawings.
[0099] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the directions or positional relationships indicated by directional words such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, perpendicular, horizontal" and "top, bottom" are usually based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise specified, these directional words do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction or be constructed and operated in a specific direction.
