Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of gas concentration detection technology and relates to a method for assessing the spontaneous combustion state of coal based on CO production in goaf areas. Background Technology

[0002] Spontaneous combustion of coal is one of the most common hazards during coal mining and storage. Internal fires caused by the spontaneous combustion of residual coal in goaf areas, resulting in light and heat emission, are a major cause of mine fires. As the primary indicator gas for spontaneous combustion of coal, CO is crucial in actual production for determining the state of spontaneous combustion by detecting its production.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent application number CN201610065635.9, entitled "A Method for Judging and Early Warning of the Risk of Coal Spontaneous Combustion in Goaf Based on Index Gas", discloses a method that involves deploying multiple CO gas concentration detectors in the goaf of a coal mine and connecting them to an underground monitoring host. The underground monitoring host then transmits the received signals to a ground monitoring computer via optical fiber and an industrial ring network, thereby achieving the purpose of early warning of coal fire hazards.

[0004] However, spontaneous combustion of coal in goaf areas is affected by a combination of factors, such as the amount of residual coal and air supply, which causes changes in the CO production rate. This makes it relatively difficult and inaccurate to judge the spontaneous combustion status of coal by monitoring the CO production in the return airway of the goaf alone. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for assessing the spontaneous combustion state of coal based on CO production in goaf areas, which solves the problem of low accuracy in existing methods for assessing the spontaneous combustion state of coal in goaf areas.

[0006] The technical solution adopted in this invention is a method for assessing the spontaneous combustion state of coal based on CO production in goaf areas, comprising the following steps:

[0007] Step 1: Set up a CO gas detection and wind speed detection system in the goaf area;

[0008] Step 2: Monitor the CO gas concentration and wind speed at the working face in real time;

[0009] Step 3: Calculate the total circulation time T of the air intake from the working face into the goaf.

[0010] Step 4: Calculate the total amount of CO gas escaping from the return airway within time T based on the monitored CO gas concentration and wind speed at the working face.

[0011] Step 5: Calculate the total amount of residual coal in the oxidation and heating zone of the goaf, and estimate the CO gas concentration generated by the residual coal in the goaf per minute;

[0012] Step 6: Determine whether the CO gas concentration generated by the residual coal in the goaf per minute exceeds the set alarm threshold 'a'. If it exceeds the threshold, there is a potential coal fire hazard, and an alarm is immediately triggered to the staff. Otherwise, continue to monitor the CO gas concentration and wind speed at the working face.

[0013] In step 1, a CO gas detection and wind speed detection system for the goaf is established, including the installation of wind speed sensors in the intake and return airways to monitor the wind speed V in the intake airway in real time. j Wind speed V in the return airway h CO concentration sensors were installed in the upper corner and the return airway to monitor the CO gas concentration in the upper corner in real time. s CO gas concentration C in the return airway h All wind speed sensors and CO concentration sensors are connected to the local industrial control computer via fiber optic cables, and the local industrial control computer is connected to the ground-based host computer via a wireless network.

[0014] Both the wind speed sensor and the CO concentration sensor are installed near the top plate. The wind speed sensor in the intake airway is 18m to 22m from the lower corner, the wind speed sensor in the return airway is 18m to 22m from the upper corner, and the CO concentration sensor in the return airway is 28m to 32m from the upper corner.

[0015] The specific process of step 3 is as follows:

[0016] Step 3.1, measure the farthest distance M between the oxidation heating zone on the air inlet side and the working face. ja And the closest distance M ji The farthest distance M from the oxidation heating zone on the return air side to the working face was measured. ha And the closest distance M hi ;

[0017] Step 3.2: Calculate the transport distance of the intake airflow within the goaf, obtaining the transport distance M of the intake airflow within the goaf. z ;

[0018] Step 3.3 divides the airflow's movement distance in the goaf into three stages: the distance M from the air intake side into the goaf but before entering the oxidation and heating zone. z1 The airflow velocity is selected from the inlet airway velocity V. j The distance M from the return air side into the goaf without entering the oxidation and heating zone z3 The airflow velocity is selected from the return airway velocity V. h ; and the distance M to enter the oxidation heating zone z2 The airflow velocity was chosen to be a constant of 0.2 m / min;

[0019] Step 3.4, calculate the transport time of underground airflow into the goaf, i.e., the total circulation time T of the air intake from the working face into the goaf:

[0020]

[0021] The specific process of step 3.2 is as follows:

[0022] Step 3.2.1: Set the spatial origin for calculating the airflow movement distance in the goaf as the midpoint (0, 0) of the working face, and obtain the coordinate positions of the upper and lower corners in the space, which are (0, m / 2) and (0, -m / 2) respectively, where m is the length of the working face;

[0023] Step 3.2.2, set the coordinates of the point where the relative movement of the airflow is farthest as ((M ja +M ha ) / 2,0);

[0024] Step 3.2.3: Define the airflow path within the goaf as a sector with radius R and center x0. Calculate the center position of the airflow path. Since the upper and lower corners form an isosceles triangle with the point of furthest relative movement of the airflow, the perpendicular bisector formula for the upper and lower corners is y0 = 0. The perpendicular bisector of the upper corner and the point of furthest relative movement of the airflow is y0 = 0. a And the perpendicular bisector y of the lower corner and the point of furthest relative movement. b The expressions are as follows:

[0025]

[0026] In the formula, b is an intermediate variable, and the intersection of the three perpendicular bisectors is (m(b-1) / 4b, 0), which is the center position of the airflow path.

[0027] Step 3.2.4, calculate the angle β between the corners of the center position of the airflow path:

[0028]

[0029] Step 3.2.5: Calculate the transport distance M of the intake airflow in the goaf. z :

[0030]

[0031] In step 3.3, M z1 M z2 and M z3 The calculation process is as follows:

[0032] Step 3.3.1: Calculate the two intersection points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) between the fan-shaped airflow path in the goaf and the nearest oxidation heating zone:

[0033]

[0034]

[0035] In the formula, b2 is an intermediate variable;

[0036] Step 3.3.2: Calculate the distance between the two intersection points and the corresponding corner positions to obtain M. z1 M z2 and M z3 :

[0037]

[0038] In the formula, A1 is the lower corner angle, the angle formed by (x0, 0) and (x1, y1), and A3 is the upper corner angle, the angle formed by (x0, 0) and (x2, y2).

[0039] Step 4 is as follows:

[0040] Step 4.1: Real-time reading of the CO concentration value C detected by the CO concentration sensor at the upper corner. s ;

[0041] Step 4.2, determine C s If the concentration is above the threshold of 24 ppm, there is a risk of disaster, and the staff should be alerted immediately; otherwise, proceed to step 4.3.

[0042] Step 4.3, Real-time reading of C h With V h Calculate the total amount of CO gas emitted from the return airway Y within the same time period T. s :

[0043] Y s =T*S h *V h *C h (8)

[0044] In the formula, S h This indicates the cross-sectional area of ​​the return airway where the CO concentration sensor is installed.

[0045] Step 5 is as follows:

[0046] Step 5.1, calculate the area S of the oxidation heating zone. y :

[0047]

[0048] Step 5.2: Calculate the total amount of residual coal in the oxidation and heating zone of the goaf, and the volume V of the residual coal in the oxidation and heating zone. y for:

[0049] Vy =S y H (10)

[0050] In the formula, H is the height of the overlying coal seam in the goaf;

[0051] Step 5.3, calculate the CO gas concentration C produced per minute by the residual coal in the goaf. z :

[0052]

[0053] The beneficial effect of this invention is that by real-time monitoring of CO gas concentration and wind speed at the working face, the total circulation time of the intake air entering the goaf and the total amount of CO gas escaping in the return air roadway are calculated, thereby estimating the CO gas concentration generated by the residual coal in the oxidation and heating zone of the goaf, and finally determining whether the CO gas concentration exceeds the set warning value, thereby determining whether there is a potential coal fire hazard in the goaf.
