Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of mine, and particularly relates to a method for quantitatively identifying the mixed water sources and the mixing degree of mine water inflow in multi-aquifer mines. Background Art

[0002] The hydrogeological conditions of mines in China are extremely complex, and coal resources and groundwater are usually in a coupled state. When coal is mined, it is bound to strengthen the hydraulic connection of multi-aquifers and intensify the mixing effect, resulting in the diversification of the hydrochemical types of mine groundwater. It has an adverse impact on the identification of mine water inflow sources and the reasonable development and protection of groundwater resources. Therefore, quantitatively identifying the mixed water sources and the mixing degree of mine water inflow in multi-aquifer mines is helpful for mine production in the following aspects: 1. Clarify the recharge relationship of multi-aquifers in mine groundwater; 2. Accurately identify the mixing ratio of multi-aquifers contributing to the mixed water source; 3. Quantify the mixing degree of the mixed water source of water inflow, invert the runoff path of the mixed water source of water inflow and the mineral composition of the rocks passed through; 4. Scientifically and reasonably protect the groundwater resources of mines.

[0003] At present, the identification methods of the mixed water sources of mine water inflow in multi-aquifer mines mainly include hydrochemical graphical method, principal component analysis method, hydrogeochemical numerical simulation method, etc. When studying the mixed water sources and the mixing degree of mine water inflow in the past, other effects on the runoff path of the mixed water source were often ignored, resulting in a large calculation error of the mixing ratio of the mixed water source of mine water inflow, unable to correctly understand the recharge relationship between multi-aquifers, and interfering with the accurate identification of the mixed water source of mine water inflow. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To solve the technical problems proposed in the background art, the present invention provides a method for quantitatively identifying the mixed water sources and the mixing degree of mine water inflow in multi-aquifer mines.

[0005] The present invention is realized by adopting the following technical solutions: A method for quantitatively identifying the mixed water sources and the mixing degree of mine water inflow in multi-aquifer mines, the method comprising the following steps:

[0006] S1. Collect and collate the hydrogeochemical components of groundwater in multi-aquifers during mine production;

[0007] In this solution, in the step S1, the hydrogeochemical components are obtained by collecting water samples flowing from underground drainage holes or water outlets during mine production and sealing and testing them, including but not limited to comprehensive indicators, conventional hydrochemistry, isotopes, and trace elements.

[0008] In this solution, in the step S1, the multi-aquifer mine from top to bottom is successively the bottom aquifer of the loose layer - bottom aquifer, the sandstone fissure aquifer of the Permian coal series - coal series, the karst fissure aquifer of the Taiyuan Formation of the Carboniferous - Taihui, and the karst fissure aquifer of the Ordovician - Aohui.

[0009] S2. Analyze the basic characteristics of the hydrogeochemical components of the groundwater in a multi-aquifer mine using mathematical statistics, and determine the typical water samples of the groundwater in the multi-aquifer mine.

[0010] In this solution, in step S2, the basic characteristics of the hydrogeochemical components of the multi-aquifer mine are determined using mathematical statistics, and the basic characteristics include but are not limited to the maximum value, minimum value, mean value, and standard deviation.

[0011] S3. Select the hydrogeochemical components with stable chemical properties as the variables of the mixed water source identification model for the water inrush from the multi-aquifer mine, identify the recharge sources of the mixed water source, and calculate the mixing ratio.

[0012] Furthermore, in step S3, based on the hydrogeochemical theory, select the hydrogeochemical components with stable chemical properties (Cl - , δD, and δ 18 O) as the variables of the mixed water source identification model.

[0013] Furthermore, in step S3, based on the mean value and standard deviation of Cl - , δD, and δ 18 O, standardize the variables of the multi-endmember mixing pattern identification model, and at the same time calculate the weights of the three variables using the entropy weight method.

[0014] Furthermore, in step S3, the mixed endmember is determined according to the following method: First, use Origin to draw the spatial scatter plot of the standardized Cl - , δD, and δ 18 O variables, and then determine the relationship between the mixed water sample S and the tetrahedron ABCD. The tetrahedron ABCD is a tetrahedron composed of four typical water samples, namely the bottom aquifer, coal measures, Taiyuan limestone, and Ordovician limestone water samples. And assume that the four corner points of the tetrahedron ABCD correspond to four faces ΠA, ΠB, ΠC, and ΠD respectively, and the corresponding normal vectors are and (define the normal vector as positive outside the tetrahedron), A x , B x , C x , D x are any points on the four faces, and P is any point in space. Then the spatial vectors are and And judge the mixing degree according to the following method;

[0015] If both are less than zero at the same time, then point P is inside the tetrahedron ABCD, indicating that the mixed water sample receives recharge from four aquifers;

[0016] When is greater than zero, If it is less than zero, then point P is located inside the pentahedron ACDA 1 C 1 D 1 inside, indicating that the mixed water sample P does not receive recharge from the aquifer represented by B;

[0017] When is greater than zero, is less than zero, that is, point P is located inside the pentahedron CC1C2DD1D2, indicating that the mixed water sample P does not receive recharge from the aquifers represented by A and B;

[0018] is greater than zero, is less than zero, representing that the mixed water sample P does not receive recharge from the aquifers represented by A, B, and C, that is, the mixing effect received is weak.

[0019] Furthermore, in step S3, according to the number of recharge end-members of the mixed water source, the corresponding mixing ratio calculation models of four-end-member, three-end-member, and two-end-member are constructed respectively. And to ensure the accuracy of the model, the weights need to be calculated based on the entropy weight method before calculating the mixing ratio, and then the variables are weighted;

[0020] Four-end-member: Three groups of variables are used as the index variables of the four-end-member mixing ratio calculation model at the same time;

[0021] Among them,

[0022] Similarly, the mixing ratios of points B, C, and D in groundwater can be calculated;

[0023] Three-end-member: Considering the weights of the three groups of variables, the two groups of variables with larger weights are selected as the index variables of the three-end-member mixing ratio calculation model;

[0024] Among them,

[0025] Similarly, the mixing ratios of points B and C in groundwater can be calculated;

[0026] Two-end-member: When there are only two recharge end-members in the mixed water sample, the variable with the largest weight is selected as the index variable of the two-end-member mixing ratio calculation model. If the variable weights are close, calculate them separately and take their average value;

[0027]

[0028] Similarly, the mixing ratio of point D in groundwater can be calculated

[0029] S4. Based on the mixing ratio calculated by the mixed water source identification model, use PHREEQC mixed simulation to quantitatively identify the impact of the mixing degree on the hydrochemistry of the mixed water source.

[0030] In step S4, based on the mixing ratio calculated by the mixed water source identification model, perform PHREEQC mixed simulation, and the simulation value is the theoretical value of the hydrochemistry of the mixed water source under this mixing degree.

[0031] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0032] 1. The method proposed by the present invention can accurately identify the recharge end members of the mixed water source of mine water inrush, quantify the mixing degree of the mixed water source, and effectively improve the identification accuracy of the mixed water source of mine water inrush in multi-aquifer mines.

[0033] 2. The present invention quantifies the process of hydrochemical evolution of groundwater in multi-aquifer mines under the influence of mining, providing a theoretical basis for the scientific and reasonable development and protection of mine groundwater.

[0034] 3. By comparing this method with other methods in the prior art, a new solution idea is provided for determining the mixing mode and ratio of groundwater in multi-aquifer mines.

[0035] The method proposed by the present invention is simple, easy to operate, economical and reliable, and can guide the water control work in multi-aquifer mines in production practice. It has important guiding significance for judging the hydraulic connection and hydrochemical evolution direction of multi-aquifers. Description of the Drawings

[0040] Example 1:

[0041] This embodiment is explained by taking a mine in Huaibei Coalfield as an example. After long-term coal mining and drainage work, the mine has a close hydraulic connection between multiple aquifers, and the groundwater in the multiple aquifer mines is mixed to varying degrees. Due to the complex hydrogeological conditions of the mine, the recharge relationship and mixing degree of multiple aquifers need to be ascertained. The evolution of the hydrogeochemical components of groundwater can characterize the recharge relationship and mixing degree of groundwater to a large extent. According to the relevant hydrogeological data of the mine, the main water-filled aquifers of the mine include four aquifers, coal-bearing water, Taihui water and Ordovician water.

During the long-term hydrochemical evolution of mine groundwater, there are certain differences in the weights of the three groups of variables. The entropy weight method is used to assign weights to the three groups of variables, and the basic characteristics of the three groups of variables are shown in Table 2.

[0053] The mine mainly mines Carboniferous and Permian coal seams. In order to identify the mixing degree of the mixed water sources of mine water in multi-aquifer mines under mining influence, 12 groups of water samples of coal measure water and Taiyuan limestone water in the mine under mining influence are collected, including 7 groups of coal measure water and 5 groups of Taiyuan limestone water (Table 3).

[0057] Based on the principle of the multi-endmember mixing pattern identification model, the mixed recharge sources of the water samples to be judged are determined, and then the contribution mixing ratios of the recharge endmembers are calculated (Table 4).
