Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of simulation experiments on water-flooded coal seams in closed coal mines, specifically relating to a simulation experiment system and method for dynamic behavior of gas desorption in water-flooded coal seams in closed coal mines. Background Technology

[0002] A closed coal mine refers to a coal mine that is closed and abandoned due to reasons such as depletion of coal resources, failure to meet safe mining conditions, or policy reasons. After the mine is closed, the coal seam is gradually submerged by mine water under the influence of groundwater levels and surface rainfall. The closure of the mine causes the underground coal seam to be flooded, creating a complex water pressure environment. During this process, the gas desorption behavior inside the coal seam is of great significance to the safety of the closed coal mine. In the existing technology, although there is some research on the gas desorption problem of water-flooded coal seams, there is a lack of experimental equipment that can realistically simulate the gas desorption process of water-flooded coal seams.

[0003] A search revealed no publicly available technical solutions similar to this invention. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art. The first objective of the present invention is to provide a simulation experimental system for the dynamic behavior of gas desorption in coal seams flooded by water in a closed coal mine. The second objective of the present invention is to provide an experimental method based on the aforementioned experimental system.

[0005] To achieve the first objective mentioned above, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a simulated experimental system for dynamic behavior of gas desorption in coal seams submerged by water in a closed coal mine, comprising an experimental chamber, a methane supply module, a water injection module, a gas desorption testing device, a monitoring unit, and a control system; a clamp for fixing the coal sample is installed in the experimental chamber, and the clamp is connected to a stress loading device for applying ground stress to the coal sample; the methane supply module is connected to the gas injection port of the experimental chamber for injecting methane gas into the experimental chamber for the coal sample to adsorb methane gas; the water injection module is connected to the water injection port of the experimental chamber for injecting water into the experimental chamber to submerge the coal sample, and the enabling terminal of the water injection module is connected to the control system; the gas desorption testing device is connected to the sampling port of the experimental chamber, separating... The methane gas after water vaporization enters the gas desorption test device, which monitors the concentration and flow rate of the desorbed gas. The signal output terminal of the gas desorption test device is connected to the control system. The monitoring unit includes a pressure sensor in the experimental chamber, a water level sensor in the experimental chamber for monitoring water level changes, and several humidity sensors distributed along the height and circumference of the coal sample on its outer wall. The signal output terminal of the pressure sensor is connected to the pressure input terminal of the control system, the signal output terminal of the water level sensor is connected to the control system, and the several humidity sensors form a humidity sensor array. The humidity sensor array is used to monitor the wetness of the coal sample surface, and the signal output terminal of the humidity sensor array is connected to the humidity input terminal of the control system.

[0006] The above technical solution applies axial stress to the coal sample using a stress loading device to realistically simulate the in-situ stress of the coal seam in a closed coal mine; injects methane gas into the experimental chamber using a methane supply module to allow the coal sample to adsorb the methane gas; injects water into the experimental chamber using a water injection module to simulate the water-flooded coal seam in a closed coal mine; monitors the changes in methane concentration and flow rate during the desorption process using a gas desorption test device and transmits the data to the control system; and monitors the water level, water pressure, and surface humidity of the coal sample in the experimental chamber using sensors in the monitoring unit and transmits the data to the control system. A dynamic correlation model of water level, water pressure, methane desorption, and humidity is established using data analysis algorithms, and curves are generated in real time.

[0007] This invention provides an experimental system for simulating gas desorption during the flooding process of a gas-bearing coal seam under the background of coal mine closure. This experimental system can more realistically reproduce the gas desorption situation under the condition of coal seam flooding, accurately simulate the gas desorption law during the flooding process, and provide effective data support, thereby providing a scientific basis for gas emission management and safety monitoring after coal mine closure.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the water inlet includes a bottom water inlet located at the bottom of the experimental chamber, the bottom water inlet being positioned below the bottom of the coal sample, and the water injection module having a water injection valve for controlling the opening and closing of each water inlet.

[0009] The above technical solution simulates water flooding of coal seams by setting up a bottom water injection port and using a bottom single-point water injection method.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the bottom of the experimental chamber has a water injection buffer zone located below the coal sample. The water injection buffer zone is provided with a water injection buffer baffle, and the water injection buffer baffle is provided with a plurality of water passage holes. Water discharged from the bottom water injection port enters the experimental chamber above it after passing through the water injection buffer baffle.

[0011] The above technical solution minimizes the impact of high methane concentration at the top by having the water injection buffer plate directly transport methane gas upwards during the water injection process from the bottom water inlet, thus making the experimental results more accurate.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the water inlet further includes a plurality of side water inlets spaced apart along the height direction of the experimental chamber, and the water injection module has a water injection valve for controlling the opening and closing of each water inlet.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, multiple water level sensors corresponding to multiple water injection ports are spaced apart along the height direction in the experimental chamber. The water level sensors are positioned above the corresponding water injection ports, and the uppermost water level sensor is positioned above the top of the coal sample. The control system controls the closing of the water injection valve of the corresponding water injection port based on the signal from the water level sensor.

[0015] In the above technical solution, the water level sensor is linked with the water injection valve of the water injection port. When studying the effect of layer-by-layer water injection on gas adsorption and desorption, when the water level reaches the water level sensor, the water injection valve will be linked to close the corresponding water injection port. After maintaining stability for a period of time, the water injection valve of the next water injection port will be linked to open, and water will be injected into the experimental chamber, thus realizing automatic layer-by-layer water injection.

[0016] To achieve the second objective mentioned above, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an experimental method for simulating the dynamic behavior of gas desorption in a coal seam flooded by water in a coal mine, comprising the following steps:

[0017] S1. Coal sample preparation: Select a standard coal column as the coal sample, put it in the drying oven to dry, and ensure that the coal sample is completely dry. Install the coal sample into the holder of the experimental chamber, apply axial stress to the coal sample through the stress loading device, and attach the humidity sensor array to the surface of the coal sample.

[0018] S2. Coal sample gas adsorption: Methane gas is injected into the experimental chamber through the methane gas supply module, and a set static pressure is applied for a period of time until the coal sample reaches the gas adsorption saturation state. Then, the methane gas supply module is turned off to complete the coal sample gas adsorption.

[0019] S3. Inject water into the experimental chamber: Open the water inlet and slowly inject water into the experimental chamber until the water level rises to the first monitoring point. Keep it stable for a period of time, then continue to inject water to the second monitoring point. Repeat the stabilization process and continue to inject water layer by layer until the coal sample is completely submerged. Keep it stable for a period of time.

[0020] S4. Gas desorption: After the gas adsorption of the coal sample is completed, open the valve of the sampling port to introduce the methane gas desorbed from the coal sample into the gas desorption test device.

[0021] S5. Data Acquisition: A water level sensor is used to collect data on water level changes within the experimental chamber, generating data on the rate of water level rise; a humidity sensor array is used to collect real-time changes in the surface wetness of the coal sample, recording the rate of coal wetting expansion; a gas desorption test device is used to monitor the concentration and flow rate of desorbed gas, and a gas desorption rate curve is generated by combining the data with time; a pressure sensor is used to monitor the internal pressure of the experimental chamber in real time, and the impact of pressure changes on desorption behavior is recorded during the gas desorption process.

[0022] S6. Data analysis and processing: including dynamic simulation analysis of flooding, dynamic analysis of wetting diffusion, and modeling of gas desorption behavior;

[0025] Modeling of gas desorption behavior: Combining gas concentration and flow rate data to generate a desorption amount-time curve, which is the gas desorption rate curve; dividing the desorption process into stages based on the water level changes in the experimental chamber during the experiment; fitting the relationship between the desorption rate and water pressure and the surface wettability of the coal sample to establish a desorption kinetic model;

[0026] S7. Results Output: Based on data analysis and processing, output the experimental report.

[0027] In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, n pressure sensors are spaced apart along the height direction of the test chamber, and all pressure sensors can be submerged in water. The water pressure P inside the test chamber is obtained in the following manner. avg :

[0028]

[0029] Where n is the number of pressure sensors, and Pi is the detection value of the i-th sensor.

[0030] The above technical solution uses multiple pressure sensors in the height direction to monitor water pressure and calculates the average value of the values ​​detected by multiple pressure sensors to obtain the water pressure in the experimental chamber, resulting in a more accurate result.

[0031] In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, in step S3, the water injection method includes two types: bottom single-point water injection and layer-by-layer water injection. Bottom single-point water injection involves injecting water into the experimental chamber only through the bottom water inlet. Layer-by-layer water injection involves first injecting water into the experimental chamber through the bottom water inlet until the water level rises to the first monitoring point and remains stable for a period of time. Then, water is injected through the side water inlet corresponding to the height of the first monitoring point to the second monitoring point, repeating the stabilization process. Then, water is injected through the side water inlet corresponding to the height of the second monitoring point to the third monitoring point, repeating the stabilization process. This layer-by-layer water injection continues until the coal sample is completely submerged and remains stable for a period of time. The gas desorption behavior of layer-by-layer water injection and bottom single-point water injection is compared to analyze the impact of layer-by-layer water injection on the coal body wettability and gas desorption behavior, and to evaluate the effect of layer-by-layer water injection on the efficiency of coal seam gas emission.

[0032] In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, during the data analysis and processing, multivariate regression analysis is used to couple the gas desorption amount with the water level rise rate, wetting expansion rate, and water pressure to establish a dynamic correlation model of "water level-water pressure-wetting-desorption"; the influence of different water injection rates on the gas desorption amount is analyzed to form a comparison chart.

[0033] In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the wetting spread rate is obtained in the following manner:

[0034] W(t) = W0·(1-e -αt )

[0035] Among them, W (t) Let be the moisture content at time t, W0 be the final saturated moisture content, α be the fitting constant, and t be time.

Multiple pressure sensors 71 are arranged along the height of the experimental chamber 10, and all pressure sensors 71 can be submerged in water. For example, one pressure sensor 71 can be installed near the bottom, middle, and top of the coal sample A. The pressure sensors 71 can also be spaced apart along the circumference of the coal sample. The signal output of the pressure sensors 71 is connected to the pressure input of the control system 50. Multiple water level sensors 72 are also arranged along the height of the experimental chamber 10, and can also be spaced apart along the circumference of the coal sample. The signal output of the water level sensors 72 is connected to the control system 50. Several humidity sensors 73 form a humidity sensor 73 array (combined with...).

[0055] This embodiment provides an experimental method for simulating the dynamic behavior of gas desorption in a water-flooded coal seam in a closed coal mine, based on Embodiment 1, including the following steps:

[0056] S1. Preparation of coal sample A: Select a standard coal column with a diameter of 5cm and a height of 10cm as coal sample A, and dry it in a drying oven for 24 hours to ensure that coal sample A is completely dry; install coal sample A into the holder of experimental chamber 10, and apply axial stress to coal sample A through stress loading device 60 to realistically simulate the in-situ stress of coal seams in closed coal mines; calibrate humidity sensor 73, attach the humidity sensor 73 array to the surface of coal sample A to ensure stable signal output.

[0059] S4. Gas desorption: After the gas adsorption of coal sample A is completed, the sampling valve 43 of the sampling port is opened. The methane gas desorbed from coal sample A is separated into water vapor by the water vapor separator 42 and introduced into the gas desorption test device 40 through the sampling pipe 41. The gas desorption test device 40 monitors the changes in gas concentration and flow rate.

[0060] S5. Data Acquisition: The water level sensor 72 is used to collect the water level changes in the experimental chamber 10, generate water level rise rate data, and generate a real-time change curve; the humidity sensor array 73 is used to collect the real-time changes in the surface wetness of coal sample A, record the coal body wetting expansion rate, and generate a real-time change curve; the gas desorption test device 40 is used to monitor the concentration and flow rate of desorbed gas, and generate a gas desorption rate curve in combination with time; the pressure sensor 71 is used to monitor the internal pressure of the experimental chamber 10 in real time, and record the influence of pressure changes on desorption behavior during the gas desorption process.

[0063] Flooding Dynamic Simulation Analysis: Based on data from water level sensor 72, the rate of rise of water level in experimental chamber 10 over time is calculated; a dynamic model of water pressure (measured by pressure sensor 71 within experimental chamber 10) and water level is established to evaluate the response characteristics of gas desorption under different water pressure conditions. Specifically, the water pressure P in the experimental chamber can be obtained through the following methods. avg :

[0068] S7. Results Output: Based on data analysis and processing, output the experimental report.

[0069] In step S3 of this invention, the water injection method includes two types: bottom single-point water injection and layer-by-layer water injection. Bottom single-point water injection involves slowly injecting water into the experimental chamber 10 only through the bottom water injection port 10a. Layer-by-layer water injection involves first injecting water into the experimental chamber 10 through the first bottom water injection port 10a until the water level rises to the first monitoring point of the first water level sensor 72, maintaining stability for 30 minutes, then continuing to inject water through the second water injection port 10a to the second monitoring point of the second water level sensor 72, repeating the stabilization process, and then continuing to inject water through the third water injection port 10a to the third monitoring point of the second water level sensor 72, repeating the stabilization process, continuously injecting water layer by layer until the coal sample A is completely submerged and maintained stable for a period of time.

[0070] Comparative analysis of layer-by-layer water injection and bottom single-point water injection: The gas desorption behavior of layer-by-layer water injection and bottom single-point water injection is compared. The influence of layer-by-layer water injection on the coal seam wettability and gas desorption behavior is analyzed, and the effect of layer-by-layer water injection on the efficiency of coal seam gas emission is evaluated. Statistical significance analysis (such as ANOVA) is used to verify the difference in desorption rate between different water injection methods.

[0071] In step S6 of this invention, during the data analysis and processing, multivariate regression analysis is used to couple the gas desorption amount with the water level rise rate, wetting expansion rate, and water pressure to establish a dynamic correlation model of "water level-water pressure-wetting-desorption" and generate curves in real time; the influence of different water injection rates on the gas desorption amount is analyzed to form a comparison chart.

[0072] In reality, the water flooding process of coal seams is typically a dynamic and nonlinear wetting expansion process. In the experiment, humidity sensor 73 monitors the surface wettability of coal sample A in real time, providing continuous humidity data. Based on the wettability recorded by humidity sensor 73 (usually relative humidity or moisture content), the water absorption rate is fitted to reflect the wetting expansion rate. For example, the wetting expansion rate is usually fitted using an exponential or linear equation, as shown in the following formula:

[0073] W(t) = W0·(1-e -αt )

[0074] Among them, W (t)Let be the moisture content at time t, W0 be the final saturated moisture content, α be the fitting constant, and t be time.
