Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of fire prevention and extinguishing of working faces, and in particular relates to a fire prevention and extinguishing method for a large goaf area of ​​a coal pillar-free isolated island working face. Background Art

[0002] When conducting tunneling and coal mining operations underground in coal mines, according to Article 135 of the Coal Mine Safety Regulations, the concentration of carbon monoxide in the air underground shall not exceed 0.0024%. Many mines are coal and gas outburst and spontaneous combustion mines, with multiple coal seams mined together, and gas and fire compound disasters are serious. The scope of fire prevention and control in goaf areas is three times that of traditional mining work surfaces. The scope of spontaneous combustion prevention and control in goaf areas is large, the difficulty of governance is high, and there are many risk points of spontaneous combustion in goaf areas, which are difficult to identify.

[0003] Spontaneous combustion of coal in coal mines is one of the five major disasters in coal mines. Spontaneous combustion of coal has a long or short process of occurrence and development, and it is not easy to detect early because of the poor thermal conductivity of coal and rock. Most spontaneous combustion sources of coal are hidden, often occurring in goafs that are difficult for people to enter or in coal pillars that cannot be entered, making it difficult to extinguish them in time. Once a fire is formed, it comes with great force, even forcing the working face to stop mining and close, tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of yuan of mechanical equipment sealed in the fire area are damaged, and the amount of coal that has been developed and prepared is frozen, which directly affects the normal production and continuation of the mine. At the same time, the underground of the coal mine is a semi-enclosed space. During the occurrence and development of the fire, a large amount of toxic and harmful gases such as CO, CO2, SO2 and toxic smoke are produced, which seriously threatens the lives of miners. The water vapor and water gas produced during the fire extinguishing can only move in one direction. The working space and maneuvering room of the rescuers are small, which poses a great threat to the rescuers.

[0004] The coal pillar-free isolated island working face is more likely to cause spontaneous combustion of coal residue in the goaf due to the easy air leakage in the roadway, especially in the large goaf of the coal pillar-free isolated island working face, where the amount of coal residue is greater and the roadway air leakage is more serious. Therefore, it is urgent to provide a fire prevention and extinguishing method and technology for the large goaf of the coal pillar-free isolated island working face, reduce the risk of oxidation and spontaneous combustion of coal residue in the large goaf of the coal pillar-free isolated island working face, and ensure the safe and efficient recovery of the isolated island working face. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a fire prevention and extinguishing method for large goaf areas in coal pillar-free isolated island working faces, which solves the problems in the prior art.

[0006] The purpose of the present invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0007] A fire prevention and extinguishing method for a large goaf area in a coal pillar-free isolated island working face comprises the following steps:

[0011] The regular manual inspection step is: setting fire observation holes for goafs every 100 to 200 meters in the machine tunnel and ventilation tunnel, and conducting regular manual inspections;

[0012] The gas sample chromatographic analysis steps are: laying a bundle pipe in the oxidation zone of the goaf, and extracting gas samples for chromatographic analysis.

[0013] Furthermore, when the CO concentration in the goaf is less than 14.4ppm, the equalizing pressure wind control technology is adopted; when the CO concentration is between 14.4ppm and 16.8ppm, the goaf spraying plugging technology is adopted; when the CO concentration is between 16.8ppm and 19.2ppm, the goaf grouting and nitrogen injection technology is adopted; when the CO concentration is between 19.2ppm and 21.6ppm, the spraying inhibitor fire prevention and extinguishing technology is adopted; when the CO concentration is greater than 21.6ppm, the above-mentioned multiple technologies are adopted for combined prevention and control.

[0015] Furthermore, the adjusting of the wind shaft fan blade angles refers to: adjusting the fan blade angles of two adjacent wind shafts according to the CO concentration in the goaf to reduce the wind pressure difference on both sides of the working face;

[0016] The forced roof release to increase the resistance of the air leakage channel means: taking shallow hole blasting measures to force the roof release of the working face machine and the air channel roof. If the roof release is not solid, the stacking belt is used to seal it to increase the resistance of the air leakage channel between the inlet and return air corners of the goaf.

[0017] Furthermore, the goaf spraying plugging technology includes: filling and sealing between the permanent closed wall and the riot-proof closed wall of the machine tunnel with water glass and yellow mud to plug air leakage in the goaf, reduce the air leakage pressure difference between the closed wall of the machine tunnel and the retained tunnel side, and perform full-section mesh spraying grouting on the retained tunnel side of the machine tunnel.

[0018] Furthermore, the goaf grouting and nitrogen injection technology includes: grouting in the coal waste area and nitrogen injection in the remaining pipelines in the machine tunnel.

[0019] Furthermore, the grouting of the coal-residual area refers to: during the mining period of the working face, a 4-inch fireproof pipeline is laid in the machine lane of the working face; during the initial mining period, the goaf opening and fault coal-residual area and the high-value CO area of ​​the original goaf are grouted by using the lane-retaining intubation pipe;

[0020] The nitrogen injection in the remaining pipelines in the machine lane means that during the period when the working face passes through the fault, the advancement speed of the working face slows down, and nitrogen is injected into the goaf using the pre-buried pipelines in the machine lane.

[0021] Furthermore, the fire prevention and extinguishing technology of spraying an inhibitor includes: spraying an inhibitor on the remaining coal after the working face is mined;

[0022] The inhibitor is a JD-MZH-1 type inhibitor, and the inhibitor and water are mixed at a concentration of not less than 10%, and the inhibitory rate is 45%-60%.

[0023] A fire prevention and extinguishing system for large goaf areas in coal pillar-free isolated island working faces, comprising:

[0024] Air detection module: Before the working face is mined, the CO concentration in the goaf is detected by real-time online monitoring, regular manual testing, and gas sample chromatographic analysis to provide early warning of potential fire hazards;

Multiple technologies are used for joint prevention and control. Under the premise of ensuring the safety of the working face mining, excessive prevention and control is avoided, the waste of resources is reduced, and the economy of the coal mining enterprise is guaranteed. The safety and economy of the working face mining process are taken into account. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0034] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, a fire prevention and extinguishing method for a large goaf area of ​​a coal pillar-free isolated island working face comprises the following steps:

[0036] S1, before the working face is mined, the CO concentration in the goaf is detected using fire prevention prediction technology to provide early warning of potential fire hazards;

[0038] The steps of real-time online monitoring are as follows: install CO sensors and temperature sensors on the extraction pipelines of the working face intake, return air lanes, and goaf areas for real-time online monitoring;

[0039] The steps for regular manual inspection are as follows: set up fire observation holes for goaf every 100 to 200 meters in the machine tunnel and ventilation tunnel, and conduct regular manual inspection;

[0040] The steps of chromatographic analysis of gas samples are as follows: laying bundle pipes in the oxidation zone of the goaf and extracting gas samples for chromatographic analysis.

[0041] S2, according to the concentration of CO in the air, adopt the following technologies: pressure-equalizing wind control technology, goaf spraying plugging technology, goaf grouting and nitrogen injection technology, spraying inhibitor fire prevention and extinguishing technology or a combination of multiple technologies for prevention and control;

[0042] Specifically, if Figure 3 As shown in the figure, when the CO concentration in the goaf is less than 14.4ppm, the pressure-equalizing air control technology is used; when the CO concentration is between 14.4ppm and 16.8ppm, the goaf spraying plugging technology is used; when the CO concentration is between 16.8ppm and 19.2ppm, the goaf grouting and nitrogen injection technology is used; when the CO concentration is between 19.2ppm and 21.6ppm, the spraying inhibitor fire prevention and extinguishing technology is used; when the CO concentration is greater than 21.6ppm, the above-mentioned multiple technologies are used for joint prevention and control. Thus, early warning and rapid response to fire hazards are achieved, and the effect of fire prevention measures can be evaluated and fed back according to the gas detection in the goaf, which effectively prevents and controls the risk of spontaneous combustion caused by the slow oxidation of the coal left in the goaf during the mining process of the working face, and ensures the safe and efficient mining of the working face.

If the caving is not solid, the stacking belt is used to block the air leakage channel between the inlet and return air corners of the goaf to increase resistance;

[0048] The goaf grouting and nitrogen injection technology includes: grouting in the coal waste area and nitrogen injection in the pipelines left behind in the machine lane;

[0049] Grouting of the coal-residue area means: during the mining period of the working face, a 4-inch fireproof pipeline is laid in the machine lane of the working face. During the initial mining period, the goaf opening and fault coal-residue area and the high-value CO area of ​​the original goaf are grouted by using the reserved lane intubation pipe;
