Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of underground coal gasification equipment, and in particular to an underground coal gasification device and method for simulating multi-angle and complex burial depths. Background Art
[0002] my country's energy resources are characterized by being "rich in coal, lacking in oil, and having little natural gas." Coal resources account for approximately 94% of total fossil energy, so the effective development of coal resources plays a vital strategic role in my country. The development and utilization of underground coal gasification is an important path and means to achieve carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals. It is a realistic option for my country to optimize and adjust its energy structure, and is also a strategic requirement for the development of new energy and alternative energy. The amount of natural gas resources equivalent to gasified coal buried at a depth of 800 to 3000 meters in my country is (272 to 332)×10 12 m 3 , exceeding the sum of conventional natural gas and unconventional natural gas resources such as tight sandstone gas, shale gas, and coalbed methane, and has huge development potential.
[0003] In the practical production process of underground coal gasification, there are three main combustion chemical reactions:
[0004] C+O2→CO2 -393.5kJ / mol
[0005] C + CO2 → 2CO + 172.5 kJ / mol
[0006] C + H2O → CO + H2 + 131.28 kJ / mol
[0007] Controlling the stability of the reaction and the composition of the synthesis gas are the main challenges faced in underground coal gasification technology. Since underground coal gasification is an in-situ mining method without wells, its gasification process is "invisible". The stability of the underground coal gasification reaction and the composition of the synthesis gas can only be controlled by controlling the concentration, pressure and temperature of the gasifying agent introduced. Therefore, before underground coal gasification production, gasification pre-experiments must be carried out to obtain reasonable gasifying agent inlet concentration, pressure and temperature for specific coal seams. However, conducting underground coal gasification experiments in actual coal seams has high manpower, material and time costs. Existing methods for studying underground coal gasification mostly rely on computers to construct numerical simulation models. This method is limited by the rationality and accuracy of the construction of numerical simulation models, and has high requirements on the theoretical level and practical ability of the experimental personnel.
[0008] Currently available physical experiment devices for underground coal gasification have the following problems: 1. Existing physical experiment devices for underground coal gasification generally use stacked coal blocks to simulate coal seams. Even if coal powder or clay is used to smear between the coal blocks (such as patent CN113445975A), the discontinuous texture of the simulated coal seam will affect the simulation of coal seam combustion and collapse. 2. Underground coal seams generally have certain angles, some of which are even steeply inclined or ultra-thin coal seams. Although the furnace body of existing physical experiment devices for underground coal gasification can be angled, the combustion chamber inside the furnace is of a fixed size (such as patent CN104457252A). This makes it impossible to accurately simulate the impact of burial depth, coal seam thickness, or complex overlying strata on underground coal gasification experiments. Summary of the Invention
[0009] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an underground coal gasification device and method that simulates multiple inclination angles and complex burial depths. The method can accurately simulate the actual angle of coal seam occurrence, appropriately adjust the combustion chamber size of the furnace body, and provide pressure compensation through a hydraulic pressure pump when the coal seam is buried too deep and it is impossible to simulate all strata with similar physical materials. In conjunction with monitoring instruments, the method records various key gasification data of similar physical experiments of underground coal gasification, obtains key data such as the optimal composition ratio of the gasifying agent mixture and the optimal gas production composition, and provides theoretical guidance for underground coal gasification production in the area where the experimental coal seam is located.

[0018] The present invention also provides a method for simulating underground coal gasification with multiple inclination angles and complex burial depths, comprising the following steps:
[0019] S1. Prepare the coal seam, floor, roof, and other strata using similar physical principles. Simultaneously, open the furnace sealing system and cooling circulation system, adjust the coolant temperature to the same as the ambient temperature of the coal seam, and adjust the telescopic lengths of the four hydraulic rods supporting the furnace to ensure that the furnace inclination angle is the same as the coal seam inclination angle.
[0020] S2. Open the valves of the oxygen cylinder and the inert gas cylinder, start the steam generator, rotate and open the main valve of the rectifier, and use a blower to blow the mixed gasifying agent into the gasification channel of the coal seam in the furnace for 20 minutes.

[0021] S3. Turn on the gas chromatograph to monitor the gas composition to ensure that the gasifying agent has no composition change after passing through the coal layer of the furnace before starting the physical experiment similar to coal gasification;
[0022] S4. Use a handheld X-ray imaging detector attached to the outside of the liquid cooling box at the front of the furnace body and the outside of the liquid cooling box at the top to observe the collapse of the coal seam combustion zone in the subsequent gasification stage. Use the ignition control circuit to ignite the coal seam gasification channel near the gas inlet connection port. Simultaneously, start the tail gas treatment device. Record the data of each pressure gauge, temperature gauge, and flow meter every 15 minutes. Also record the data of the computer connected to the gas composition sensor and the gas chromatograph every 15 minutes. The experiment ends when the coal seam, roof, and other strata collapse due to excessive combustion zone, resulting in the shutdown of the furnace.
[0023] S5. Repeat steps S1, S2, S3, and S4, and conduct multiple gasification experiments by selecting different gasifying agent composition ratios by controlling the gas cylinder valve and the rectifier sub-valve, to obtain experimental data on the gasification experiment time, gasifying agent composition ratio, gasifying agent temperature, gasifying agent flow rate, gasifying agent pressure, and gas production composition ratio required for multiple groups of different coal seams to cause the coal seam, roof, and various strata to collapse and then shut down due to excessive combustion void area;
[0024] S6. After analyzing the experimental data, summarize the key data used to guide actual underground coal gasification production, including the optimal concentration ratio of each gasifying agent component, the optimal gasifying agent injection pressure, the optimal gasifying agent injection flow rate, and the optimal gas production composition.
[0025] Therefore, the present invention adopts the above-mentioned underground coal gasification device and method for simulating multiple inclination angles and complex burial depths, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0026] 1) By coordinating the universal joint with the supporting hydraulic cylinder and observing the inclination angle through the level meter, the furnace body can accurately simulate the occurrence angle of the real coal seam, which has universal applicability.
[0027] 2) When the coal seam is deposited at a great depth and the overlying roof and strata above the coal seam cannot all be stacked with similar physical materials, the hydraulic pressure pump at the bottom of the top sliding cover can be used for pressure compensation.
[0028] 3) By combining handheld X-ray imaging detectors, gas chromatographs, temperature sensors, etc., key data such as the composition of generated gas and the collapse of the combustion zone during underground coal gasification can be collected, and key data such as the optimal gas inlet velocity, temperature, pressure, concentration, and gas production composition can be analyzed.
[0029] 4) Considering the influence of factors such as the discontinuity of coal seam texture on the gasification process and the collapse of the combustion zone by using coal block stacking, a single large block of coal is cut into a rectangular block and placed directly inside the experimental furnace body, and then filled with other similar physical materials to simulate the coal seam roof, floor, overlying rock layer, stratum, etc., so that the underground coal gasification experiment is closer to the actual underground coal gasification production process.

[0060] When using the underground coal gasification device simulating multiple inclination angles and complex burial depths described in this embodiment, the steps are as follows:
[0061] S1. The original intention of the design of this invention is to simulate the coal seam with similar physical materials after cutting large pieces of coal. The bottom surface size of the furnace combustion chamber is designed to be 400mm×500mm. Due to the existence of the front sliding cover 20 and the top sliding cover 18, the height of the furnace combustion chamber is designed to be adjustable in the range of 400mm~800mm. The large pieces of coal sampled on site are cut and prepared into a coal seam shape of 400mm×500mm×10mm, and the rock mechanical properties of the roof, floor and various formations in the coal seam storage environment are extracted. According to the mechanical property data, the material similarity physical principle is used to use materials such as sand, calcium carbonate, gypsum, water and other materials to mix in a certain proportion to prepare the roof, floor and various formations. The plane size is 400mm×500mm, and the height is determined according to the actual proportion of the longitudinal layer thickness occupied by each formation.
[0062] S2.

[0073] Therefore, the present invention adopts the above-mentioned coal underground gasification device and method for simulating multiple inclination angles and complex burial depths. Through the cooperation of the supporting hydraulic cylinder, the universal joint, and the level, the actual angle of the coal seam can be accurately simulated. Due to the existence of the top sliding cover plate and the front sliding cover plate, the combustion chamber of the furnace body can be adjusted in size, and the hydraulic pressure pump on the bottom surface of the top sliding cover plate can provide pressure compensation when the coal seam is buried too deep and it is impossible to simulate all strata with similar physical materials. This invention is compatible with other instruments (pressure gauge, temperature gauge, flow meter, computer, temperature sensor) The device can be used in conjunction with a gas chromatograph (e.g., a head, a gas composition sensor, a handheld X-ray imaging detector, and a gas chromatograph) to capture or record various key gasification data of similar physical experiments in underground coal gasification, such as gasifier temperature, gasifier pressure, gasifier flow rate, gasifier concentration, gas production composition, gas production concentration, shape and size of the coal seam combustion zone, etc., so as to analyze the experimental data and determine the optimal gasifier mixture composition ratio and optimal gas production composition when the combustion zone collapses and does not cause the furnace to stop, thereby providing theoretical guidance for underground coal gasification production in the area where the experimental coal seam is located.
