DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] In order to make the advantages, technical solutions of the present application more clear and definite, the following will make further clear and complete description of the present work combined with the drawings; the following examples are intended to illustrate and explain the present application, and do not limit the scope of the present application.

[0034] As Figures 1-6As shown, a device for carbon storage space filling and reconstruction-CO2 sequestration in an abandoned main roadway includes: anchor cable 1, anchor rod 2, surrounding rock 3, gas injection pipes around the support template 4, surrounding rock fracture zone 5, support template 6, gas injection pipe inside the main roadway 7, main roadway 8, and filling wall 9.

[0035] Among them, anchor cable 1 and anchor rod 2 are fixed to the surrounding rock 3 and the fractured rock zone 5 of the roadway, and the support formwork 6 is temporarily fixed to anchor cable 1 and anchor rod 2.

[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, the filling support template is forged in advance according to the width and height of the main roadway cross-section. It is assembled from steel plates and connecting buckles, making it easy to disassemble and assemble. The structure of the filling support template is: the upper part is arched, and the lower part is square, consisting of two vertical plates, one ring plate, and a bottom horizontal plate. The length of the filling support template in the roadway is 30-40m. The support template 6 is a bent and overlapping steel plate, with a distance of 50cm-80cm from the roadway cross-section in each of the four directions (up, down, left, and right), and is connected to the inside of the roadway by anchor bolts and cables.

[0037] Air injection pipes 4 are arranged around the perimeter of the support formwork 6. After the filling grout is injected, air is injected through these pipes (e.g., ...). Figure 3 (As shown). After the air injection is completed, the support formwork 6 is removed, and the second filling wall is constructed. An air injection hole is pre-drilled in the second filling wall. The air injection pipe 7 inside the main roadway passes through this hole and enters the sealed space formed by the two filling walls. After the sealed space is constructed, air is injected through the air injection pipe 7 inside the main roadway (as shown). Figure 4 (As shown). Example

[0038] A mine located in Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province, was initially constructed in March 1991. Its mining license expired at the end of 2013 and was not renewed, leading to its closure. The mine's surface elevation is -300m. The main haulage roadways, track roadways, and return air roadways are over 5km long, with a height and width of approximately 5m. The roadways are surrounded by solid rock strata, unaffected by mining disturbance. The roadways are supported by a combination of I-beams and concrete, and the roadway walls are relatively intact, with only a few areas showing severe deformation. There are no major faults, folds, or other significant geological structures within 500m of the roadways. The three roadways are currently unused and considered abandoned space. A thermal power plant is located 1km away from the mine, emitting 2,888,000 tons of carbon dioxide annually, incurring tens of millions of yuan in carbon tax. In light of the above, this invention can effectively help store the CO2 from the nearby power plant in the abandoned roadways of the closed mine. The implementation process will be further explained in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The specific implementation steps are as follows:

[0039] Step one: First, use geophysical exploration technology to survey the abandoned track roadway 3 and the surrounding rock fracture zone 5 of the closed mine, and analyze the surrounding rock characteristics and fracture development degree of the abandoned track roadway.

[0040] Step two: Circle the area with serious bearing capacity and damage in the surrounding rock 3 of the roadway, and use anchor cable 1 and anchor rod 2 to reinforce the support of the roadway, and use concrete to seal the intersection of track roadway connecting roadway, chamber and other cross sections.

[0041] Step three: Build a filling wall 9 at one end 8.1 of the roadway 8, the thickness of the filling wall 9 needs to reach about 50 cm, and ensure that there is no air leakage.

[0042] Step four: According to the section of the roadway 8, bake the filling support template 6;

[0043] Step five: Place the forged filling template 6 inside the roadway 8, splice according to the shape of the roadway, the distance from the top, both sides and the floor of the roadway is 50 cm (reserve 50 cm space because the roadway around needs to be grouted and sealed, the roadway not only has cracks in the roof and both sides, but also in the floor), the spliced filling template 6 is temporarily supported by anchor cable 1 and anchor rod 2;

[0044] Step six: The CO2 discharged from the power plant is changed into supercritical CO2 by the ground carbon dioxide collector and converter, and pumped to the underground roadway through the connecting pipeline.

[0045] Step seven: Inject the filling slurry into the pores between the support template 6 and the roadway 8, and form a 50 cm thick filling thickness around the roadway;

[0046] Step eight: Lay the support template around the support template 4, inject supercritical carbon dioxide into the filling slurry through the support template around the support template 4, and fully react the supercritical carbon dioxide with the slurry for 3-5 hours to make the slurry solidify to a support strength of 1-2 MPa, and stop injection;

[0047] Step nine: After the filling slurry around the support template 6 fully solidifies with supercritical carbon dioxide, remove the filling support template 6, and build a second filling wall 9 at an interval of 30-40 m;

[0048] Step ten: Arrange the internal gas injection pipe 7 through the gas injection hole reserved by the second filling wall, inject supercritical carbon dioxide into the sealed space of the two filling walls along the internal gas injection pipe 7 of the roadway, stop injection when the supercritical carbon dioxide injection pressure is 1 MPa-1.5 MPa and the CO2 concentration in the sealed space reaches 5000 ppm or more, remove the internal gas injection hole 7, and seal the filling wall.

[0049] Step eleven: build the filling support template 6 on the other side of the second filling wall 9, continue to build the sealed space relying on the support template, repeat steps four to ten, inject filling slurry and supercritical carbon dioxide outside the support template 6, and inject supercritical carbon dioxide in the sealed space of the two filling walls 9;

[0050] Step twelve: when the space of the main roadway 8 is gradually filled and sealed to the other end 8.2 of the roadway, build the last filling wall 9 at the other end 8.2 of the main roadway, inject supercritical carbon dioxide into the interior thereof, and seal the space of the roadway.

[0051] The above describes the preferred embodiments of the present application. It should be noted that any improvement and modification of the above described implementation method without departing from the technical essence and principles of the present application shall fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present application.
