Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the fields of layered caving and water-retaining coal mining technology and filling and water-retaining coal mining technology for extra-thick coal seams under extremely thick soil layers, and specifically to a design method for caving and filling and water-retaining mining of extra-thick coal seams under extremely thick soil layers. Background Art

[0002] The mining of extra-thick coal seams under aquifers mainly adopts layered and limited thickness mining, which makes it difficult to recover the remaining layered coal resources and causes a large amount of coal resources to be wasted.

[0003] The existing published patent documents CN107939401B, CN106014410A, and CN103306720A are relatively complex and only consider the mining of coal seams at the working face without considering the water-isolating effect of the thick soil layer. They cannot solve the engineering problems encountered in the mining of extra-thick coal seams under the above-mentioned aquifers.

[0004] Therefore, in order to develop coal resources and protect water resources in extra-thick coal seams in areas covered by extremely thick soil layers, it is urgent to invent a design method for collapse and filling water-preserving mining of extra-thick coal seams under extremely thick soil layers, so as to make full use of the water-impermeable properties of the extremely thick soil layers and realize the efficient recovery of coal resources and the protection of water resources.

[0005] The latest research results show that soft rocks such as mudstone or weakly cemented soil layers have the characteristics of self-repairing of cracks and easy closure of mining cracks by compaction, and are good water-proof rock layers. In the process of coal resource mining, if the role of soft rock water-proof rock layers such as mudstone or weakly cemented soil layers can be fully utilized, it will be beneficial to improve the coal recovery rate. On the other hand, backfill mining has the characteristics of controlling rock movement, inhibiting the development of water-conducting fracture zones, and reducing the degree of mining disturbance. It is currently an effective means to achieve water-saving coal mining in mines. At the same time, it can dispose of mine solid waste and avoid ground emissions and environmental pollution. Summary of the invention

[0014] f. Repeat steps a to e to complete the layered thickness limiting and filling coordinated water-preserving coal mining in the extra-thick coal seams of the entire mine area.

[0015] The thickness S of the thick soil layer satisfies the following conditions:

[0027] The technical solution of the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0028] The main mining area of ​​a coal mine is an extra-thick coal seam 3 with a thickness of 11m. The average thickness of the bedrock overlying the coal seam is 60m. The upper part of the bedrock layer is a very thick soil layer 2 composed of loess and laterite, with an average thickness of 60m. The upper part of the very thick soil layer is a Quaternary loose aquifer 1 with an average thickness of 15m and strong water-richness.

[0029] To ensure safe mining and water resource protection, the mine adopted a limited thickness upper layer mining method, with the mining coal seam thickness of 5.0m, resulting in a large amount of coal resource waste.

[0030] The ultra-thick coal seam 3 is mined by adopting an ultra-thick coal seam layered thickness limiting and filling coordinated water conservation mining design method of the present invention, and the specific steps are as follows:

[0031] a. Through the collection of mine hydrogeological data, it is found that the thickness of the main extra-thick coal seam 3 is 11m, the distance between the aquifer 1 and the extra-thick coal seam 3 is an average of 140m, the average thickness of the super-thick soil layer 2 is 60m, which is loess and red soil with certain self-repairing ability, and the thickness of the bedrock layer is 60m;

[0032] b. According to the engineering geological conditions and the physical and mechanical parameters of the coal and rock mass, see Table 1, the 3DEC discrete element software was used to establish a numerical simulation model with a length × width × height of 300m × 200m × 160m; the horizontal displacement was constrained on all sides, and the vertical displacement was constrained at the bottom; the constitutive relationship adopted the Moore-Coulomb model. The height development of the water-conducting fracture zone during the mining of the upper layer 4 of the extra-thick coal seam was simulated when the mining height of the extra-thick coal seam 3 was 3m, 4m, 5m and 6m respectively.

[0034]

[0035]

[0036] The simulation results show that the corresponding water-conducting fracture zone development heights at different mining heights are H 3m =23.1m, H 4m =39.6m, H 5m =54.3m, H 6m =66.8m, based on which the curve fitting formula is obtained, such as Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the fitting result is shown in formula (1). Substituting the height of the water-conducting fracture zone H = 60m into the formula, the maximum limit mining height M of the upper layer 4 of the extra-thick coal seam is calculated when the height of the water-conducting fracture zone H develops to the overlying thick soil layer 2. max =5.3m.

[0037] M=0.000155H 2.37 +2.74 (1)

[0038] c. Adopt comprehensive mechanized layered limited thickness mining method to mine 4 layers of coal seams on the extra-thick coal seam with a mining height of 5.3m, and lay artificial false roof 5 in the goaf;

[0039] d. 3DEC three-dimensional discrete element software was used to simulate the development height h of the water-conducting fracture zone in the ultra-thick coal seam under the 6-layer filling mining when the goaf had different filling rates. The simulation results showed that the height of the water-conducting fracture zone was 129.6m, 112.8m, 95.1m and 86.3m respectively when the filling rates were 60%, 70%, 80% and 90%. Based on this, the curve fitting formula was obtained, as shown in Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the fitting result is shown in formula (2). Substituting the height of the water-conducting fracture zone H = 120m into the formula, the limit filling rate of the goaf area of ​​layer 6 under the extra-thick coal seam when the height of the water-conducting fracture zone H develops to the bottom of the aquifer 1 is calculated.

[0040]

[0041] e. Adopt comprehensive mechanized solid filling coal mining method to mine the 6 coal seams under the extra-thick coal seam. To ensure the water conservation effect, the filling rate of the goaf needs to be greater than And take a certain safety factor, the final design is 70%;

[0042] f. Repeat steps a to e to complete the design method for collapse and filling water-preserving mining of extra-thick coal seams under extremely thick soil layers in the entire mining area.
