Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the present invention can be understood more clearly and thoroughly, and that the scope of the present invention can be fully conveyed to those skilled in the art.
[0049] Example 1
[0050] See Figure 1 An embodiment of the present invention provides a water-conserving coal mining method based on underwater height limit mining, comprising:
[0051] Step S100: Divide the mining area into n equal areas, obtain the coal seam thickness, fracturing ratio and coal seam burial depth of each area, and calculate the thickness of the safe coal-rock pillar protective layer for each area based on the coal seam thickness, fracturing ratio and coal seam burial depth of each area; where n is less than or equal to 50.
[0052] Step S200: Input the thickness of the safe coal and rock pillar protective layer of each region into the pre-established network analysis model to obtain the regions in the mining field that require height restriction and the mineable coal seam thickness of the regions that require height restriction.
[0053] In this embodiment, before step S100, the method further includes: obtaining the water mining level of each area of the mining field to be mined, and determining the type of safe coal and rock pillar in each area based on the water mining level of each area.
[0054] In this embodiment, see Figure 2 The water body mining level is divided into Level I, Level II, and Level III.
[0055] When the water body is any type of surface water directly above or below the bedrock without a stable cohesive soil aquitard, or a loose, porous, strong or medium aquitard water body directly above or below the bedrock without a stable cohesive soil aquitard, or a bedrock, strong or medium aquitard water body without a stable argillaceous rock aquitard below the bottom interface, or any type of surface water body and loose, medium-strong or medium aquitard water body above steeply inclined coal seams, or a water body that requires protection as an important water source and tourist destination, the water body mining level is Class I, and a waterproof and safe coal-rock pillar is selected.
[0056] When the water body type is a loose layer with multiple structures at the bottom, a large thickness, and weak water content, or a loose layer with strong water content in the middle and upper parts and weak water content at the bottom, or a loose layer with a stable thick cohesive soil impermeable layer at the bottom or a loose weak water content layer with strong porosity and medium water content in the middle and upper parts, or a loose layer and bedrock weak water content layer with drainage conditions, the water body mining level is Class II, and sand control safety coal and rock pillars are selected.
[0057] When the water body type is a loose layer with a stable thick clay aquifer at the bottom, a loose layer with weak pores in the upper part, or a loose layer or bedrock water body that is close to being drained, the water body mining level is Class III, and a safe coal and rock pillar for preventing collapse is selected.
[0058] In this embodiment, the coal seam thickness, fracture-to-mining ratio, and coal seam burial depth of each region are obtained based on the exploration data of the mining area to be mined.
[0059] In this embodiment, by adopting a water-conserving coal mining method with underwater height restriction, compared with the existing technology, it has better water conservation effect, higher resource output rate and less impact on production capacity.
[0060] Example 2
[0061] An embodiment of the present invention provides a water-conserving coal mining method based on underwater height-limited mining, comprising:
[0062] Step S100: Divide the mining area into n equal areas, obtain the coal seam thickness, fracturing ratio and coal seam burial depth of each area, and calculate the thickness of the safe coal-rock pillar protective layer for each area based on the coal seam thickness, fracturing ratio and coal seam burial depth of each area; where n is less than or equal to 50.
[0063] In this embodiment, for example, the mining field to be mined is divided into 10 areas of equal size. Through the exploration data of the mining field to be mined, the coal seam thickness, fracturing ratio and coal seam burial depth of each of the 10 areas are obtained.
[0064] Optionally, the calculation of the safe coal-rock pillar protective layer thickness for each region, based on the coal seam thickness, fracturing ratio, and coal seam burial depth, includes:
[0065] The calculation formula is:
[0066] H 安 =H m ×(1+α×(C-1) / (C×H s ));
[0067] Among them, H 安 The thickness of the protective layer for the safe coal-rock pillar in each region;
[0068] H m For each region, the coal seam thickness is given by C, and the fracturing ratio is given by H. s For each region, the coal seam burial depth is given, and α represents the degree of influence of the fracturing ratio on the thickness of the protective layer of the safe coal-rock pillar.
[0069] Step S200: Input the thickness of the safe coal and rock pillar protective layer of each region into the pre-established network analysis model to obtain the regions in the mining field that require height restriction and the mineable coal seam thickness of the regions that require height restriction.
[0070] In this embodiment, inputting the thickness of the safe coal-rock pillar protective layer in each region into the pre-established network analysis model includes:
[0071] Step S210: Compare the thickness of the safety coal and rock pillar protective layer in each region with the thickness of the safety coal and rock pillar protective layer that needs to be reserved to obtain the regions that need to be height-restricted;
[0072] The required thickness of the safety coal and rock pillar protective layer is determined in advance based on the geological information of the current area;
[0073] Step S220: Calculate the mineable coal seam thickness in the area requiring height restriction based on the thickness of the safety coal-rock pillar protective layer.
[0074] In this embodiment, the network analysis model is constructed based on GIS (Geographic Information System) technology, which converts geospatial data into a network model. Here, nodes represent different regions within the coalfield to be mined, and edges represent physical or logical connections between regions. The corresponding attribute of each node is set to the thickness of the safety coal and rock pillar protection layer. According to industry standards, a threshold is set for the thickness of the safety coal and rock pillar protection layer, and this threshold is the required thickness of the safety coal and rock pillar protection layer to be reserved.
[0075] When the thickness of the safety coal and rock pillar protection layer in a certain region is less than the required thickness of the safety coal and rock pillar protection layer to be reserved, height restriction is required for this region.
[0076] For the regions that require height restriction, based on the thickness of their safety coal and rock pillar protection layers, calculate the thickness of the coal seam that can be mined.
[0077] In this embodiment, a visualization tool is used to display the analysis results of the network analysis model, the regions that require height restriction, and the thickness of the coal seams in the regions that require height restriction, and an interactive interface is provided to allow users to adjust parameters and view specific information of different regions.
[0078] The calculation formula for the thickness of the coal seam that can be mined in the regions that require height restriction, based on the thickness of the safety coal and rock pillar protection layer in these regions, is as follows:
[0079] ;
[0080] where, H k is the thickness of the coal seam that can be mined, H_security is the thickness of the safety coal and rock pillar protection layer for each region, C is the mining-induced fracture ratio for each region, and α is the influence degree of the mining-induced fracture ratio on the thickness of the safety coal and rock pillar protection layer.
[0081] The α, which is the influence degree of the mining-induced fracture ratio on the thickness of the safety coal and rock pillar protection layer, is an adjustment parameter and is determined based on on-site conditions and historical data fitting.
[0082] In this embodiment, before step S100, it further includes: obtaining the water body mining movement level of each region in the coalfield to be mined, and determining the type of the safety coal and rock pillar for each region based on the water body mining movement level of each region.
[0083] In this embodiment, step S000 includes:
[0084] When the water body mining movement level is level I, the type of the safety coal and rock pillar is a waterproof safety coal and rock pillar;
[0085] When the water body mining movement level is level II, the type of the safety coal and rock pillar is a sand-proof safety coal and rock pillar;
[0086] When the water body mining movement level is level III, the type of the safety coal and rock pillar is a collapse-proof safety coal and rock pillar.
[0087] In this embodiment, for example, a certain coalfield is a coal mining area under water. The actual hydrogeological conditions are a medium-water-rich aquifer with loose pores and no stable clay water-retaining layer under the bottom interface of the water body. At this time, the water body mining level is Class I, and it is not allowed for the water-conducting fracture zone to affect the water body. It is required to leave a waterproof safety coal-rock pillar on the roof.
[0088] In this embodiment, by adopting a water-conserving coal mining method with underwater height restriction, the minefield to be mined is divided into n regions of equal area. The coal seam thickness, fracturing ratio, and coal seam burial depth of each region are obtained. Based on the coal seam thickness, fracturing ratio, and coal seam burial depth of each region, the thickness of the safe coal-rock pillar protective layer of each region is calculated. The thickness of the safe coal-rock pillar protective layer of each region is input into a pre-established network analysis model to obtain the regions in the minefield that require height restriction and the mineable coal seam thickness of the regions that require height restriction. This achieves the technical effect of good water retention, high resource output rate, and minimal impact on production capacity.
