Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of water hazard prevention and control, and specifically relates to a method for preventing and controlling water hazard in a mine goaf. Background Art
[0002] Coal, as a vital energy source, holds a crucial position. However, during coal mining, mine flooding remains a major threat to mine safety and production, resulting in significant economic losses and casualties for coal mining companies. The causes of mine flooding are complex and diverse, primarily including water from underground aquifers, surface water, old goaf water, and water accumulation in goafs. Under the influence of geological structures, mining activities, and other factors, these water sources can flow into mines through channels such as water-conducting fractures, faults, and fissures, causing mine water inrush and even water inrush accidents.
[0003] Mine flood prevention and control has long been a top priority for coal mine safety. To effectively prevent and control mine floods, scholars and engineers at home and abroad have conducted extensive research and practice, developing a variety of mine flood prevention and control technologies, such as waterproof coal pillars, grouting to block water, dewatering and pressure reduction, and water exploration and drainage. These technologies have significantly improved mine flood prevention and control capabilities and ensured safe mine production. However, with the continuous increase in coal mining depth and intensity, mine hydrogeological conditions have become increasingly complex, posing even more severe challenges to mine flood prevention and control.
[0004] Existing mine flood prevention and control technologies often focus on the application of single technical means, lacking systematic research on the formation mechanisms of mine floods and the establishment of a comprehensive prevention and control system. This makes it difficult to control floods at their source, resulting in less than ideal prevention and control results. Due to the differences in hydrogeological conditions and mining techniques among different mines, existing mine flood prevention and control technologies lack specificity and are unable to meet the individual needs of different mines. This can significantly reduce prevention and control effectiveness in practice. Summary of the Invention

Comprehensive technical measures and countermeasures for mine water prevention and control include prediction and forecasting of waterlogging in goafs, three prevention measures during the rainy season, and prevention and control of old goaf water. In this embodiment, specifically: in the analysis of factors affecting the development height of the water-conducting fracture zone, the influence of overburden lithology and its combination characteristics, coal seam mining conditions, geological structure, coal mining methods and roof management, time process, repeated mining and other factors on the development height of the water-conducting fracture zone are studied; in the on-site measurement analysis of the development height of the water-conducting fracture zone, the borehole flushing fluid loss observation, core engineering geological recording, geophysical logging and three-dimensional imaging logging are used to measure the development height of the water-conducting fracture zone on-site; in the numerical simulation analysis of the development characteristics of the water-conducting fracture zone, a reasonable numerical simulation scheme is designed; the numerical simulation software such as FLAC3D is used to simulate the coal seam mining process, analyze the damage of the roof overburden, calculate the development height of the water-conducting fracture zone, and in the physical simulation analysis of the development characteristics of the water-conducting fracture zone, the phase Similar theory, determine similar conditions, lay similar material simulation test model, comprehensive analysis of the development height of water-conducting fracture zone, comprehensive field measurement, numerical simulation and physical simulation results, comprehensive analysis of the development height of water-conducting fracture zone, draw more accurate and reliable conclusions, the distribution characteristics of the development height of water-conducting fracture zone in each mining area are studied respectively, and the distribution characteristics of the development height of water-conducting fracture zone in multiple mining areas are studied to provide a basis for formulating targeted water prevention and control measures in each mining area. The development height of water-conducting fracture zone in the mining process of working face is studied and analyzed through the actual measurement of the development height of "two belts", and the mining-induced overburden damage characteristics under the same mining height conditions are analyzed by means of similar material simulation and numerical simulation. By collecting the measured data of water-conducting fracture zone in the region, it is verified that the measured results are consistent with the regional characteristics. In this embodiment, specifically: the distribution characteristics of the aquifer (water-blocking) layers in the first, second, and third mining areas are analyzed, including the lithology, thickness, and water-richness of the aquifer, and the lithology, thickness, and water-blocking performance of the water-blocking layer. The mine water inrush pattern analysis collects data related to mine water inrush, including the location of the water outlet, water volume, and water quality, to establish a mine water inrush database. The large well method treats the entire tunnel system of the mining area as a large water collection well, and adopts the submersible formula and the pressure-contained to unpressure formula, namely: ,in is the mine water inflow (m3 / h), is the permeability coefficient (m / d), is the height of the water column (m), is the thickness of the aquifer (m), is the water level drop (m), is the reference influence radius (m), is the reference radius (m); the hydrogeological analogy method is to predict the water inflow of a new mine with similar hydrogeological conditions and the same mining method based on the known mine water richness coefficient. The calculation formula is: ,in Water inflow of new mine (m3 / h), is the known old well water yield (m3 / h), is the known mined-out area of the old mine (km2), and F is the designed new mine area (km2); In this embodiment, specifically: the analysis of factors influencing coal pillar stability analyzes the influence of factors such as the internal structure of the coal body, the contact properties at both ends of the coal pillar, the stress state and failure mode of the coal pillar, and whether there are long-term or periodic power sources in the reserved working face and its vicinity on the stability of the coal pillar. A limit equilibrium zone model is established to determine the reasonable width of the waterproof coal pillar and analyze the stress state and failure mode of the coal pillar. The calculation of the waterproof isolation coal pillar in a mining area calculates the width of the elastic core zone and the theoretical coal pillar width of the mining area based on the relevant design parameters of the waterproof coal pillar. The feasibility analysis of zoned isolation in a mining area proposes two zoned isolation schemes for a mining area: completely sealing the water accumulation in the goaf of the mining area and setting up a sealed wall to allow the water accumulation in the goaf to flow to the central water tank. A mechanical model of coal pillar stability is established based on geological survey data and coal seam occurrence conditions. The model divides the coal pillar into a limit equilibrium zone, an elastic core zone, and a hydraulic failure zone. Each zone has its own specific mechanical behavior and failure mode. By assuming the coal pillar as a uniform and continuous elastic body and considering the fixed end constraints at both ends of the coal pillar and the stress state in different zones, a foundation is laid for the quantitative analysis of coal pillar stability. In this embodiment, specifically: in the prediction and forecast of water accumulation in goaf, multiple methods such as data analysis method, on-site investigation, drilling method, geophysical prospecting method, analytical calculation method, etc. are adopted to comprehensively predict and forecast the water accumulation in goaf, so as to provide a basis for mine water prevention and control work; in the three-prevention measures in rainy season, three-prevention measures in rainy season are formulated, including flood control, drainage prevention, lightning protection, etc., to ensure the safety of mines during the flood season; in the prevention and control of old goaf water, the position of the water exploration starting point is determined, the water exploration drilling holes are reasonably arranged, and the advanced water exploration and discharge drilling construction technology is adopted to ensure the safety and efficiency of water exploration operations; the mining space method is applicable to when the water accumulation height H in the old goaf is large, especially when the entire mining working area is flooded, and the water accumulation amount in the goaf is estimated more accurately; the water accumulation space law is applicable to the range of maximum water head height H<5m, that is, the water head height is more accurately predicted within the caving zone; In this embodiment, specifically: in the on-site measurement analysis of the development height of the water-conducting fracture zone, the drilling position, depth and inclination are reasonably designed to ensure the accuracy and representativeness of the measured data; in the numerical simulation analysis of the development characteristics of the water-conducting fracture zone, the numerical simulation results are compared and analyzed with the on-site measurement results to verify the accuracy and reliability of the numerical simulation; in the physical simulation analysis of the development characteristics of the water-conducting fracture zone, monitoring points are arranged in the model, and advanced monitoring methods are used to monitor the model excavation process in real time, recording data such as overburden collapse and fracture development height. Through on-site measurement and analysis, The method includes observation of borehole flushing fluid loss, core engineering geological logging, geophysical logging and three-dimensional imaging logging. Combined with numerical simulation and physical simulation analysis, it comprehensively determines the development height of water-conducting fracture zones and caving zones. The lithology and structure of the overburden, coal seam mining conditions, geological structure, time factors and repeated mining, etc., jointly affect the development of water-conducting fracture zones. As the working face advances, the height of the caving zone and water-conducting fracture zone gradually increases. As the goaf expands, the subsidence of the overburden changes significantly, and the subsidence characteristics vary at different locations. In this embodiment, specifically: the distribution characteristics of aquifers (water barriers) are analyzed, and the differences in the distribution characteristics of aquifers (water barriers) in different mining areas are analyzed to provide basic data for the analysis of mine water inrush patterns. The analysis of mine water inrush patterns analyzes the composition of water samples from mine water inrush to understand the source and recharge path of mine water inrush. The analysis focuses on the mine water inrush patterns in one mining area, including the characteristics of water inrush from the working face, the main water outlet points, and water volume statistics. The differences in the distribution characteristics of aquifers and aquitards in different mining areas are mainly reflected in the changes in the thickness of the aquifers (water barriers) and the water richness. In this embodiment, specifically: the reasonable width of the waterproof coal pillar is determined through theoretical calculation and analysis to ensure the stability of the coal pillar. The standard formula is used to calculate the width of the waterproof isolation coal pillar in a mining area, and the width is compared and analyzed with the theoretical calculation results to determine the final width of the waterproof isolation coal pillar. The feasibility analysis of the zoning isolation in a mining area is to conduct a feasibility analysis on the two schemes, and a comprehensive evaluation is conducted from the aspects of technical feasibility, economic rationality, safety and reliability to select the optimal scheme. When calculating the width of the waterproof coal pillar of the theoretical model, in addition to the coal pillar height, coal seam burial depth, average bulk density of the overlying rock layer, water head pressure in the old empty area, and the bonding strength of the coal pillar top and bottom plates, which can be obtained from relevant exploration reports, the tensile and compressive strength of the coal rock, the plastic rheological strength of the coal rock, the lateral pressure coefficient, the core area load concentration coefficient, and the pore weakening coefficient need to be obtained through relevant experiments and theories. In this embodiment, specifically: in the rainy season, the flood control facilities, drainage systems, and lightning protection facilities are regularly inspected and maintained to ensure their normal operation. The geodetic survey team is responsible for collecting meteorological information and hydrological data. In case of heavy to torrential rain or ground flooding, it is necessary to report to the mine dispatch room in a timely manner and notify the flood control and rescue team in a timely manner to make preparations for flood control and rescue. At the same time, the water inflow at each level in the mine is monitored. When the water inflow changes, it is necessary to carefully analyze and report to the rescue leadership group. The professional rescue team and rescue reserve team under the rescue leadership group are in place during the rainy season. During this period, the supply group must ensure that emergency materials are in place, establish a flood control reserve warehouse, and make it easy to use at any time. In case of thunderstorms, the Mechanical and Electrical Department must assign special personnel to guard areas where the power supply lines are complex and prone to failure to prevent lightning from breaking through and breaking the power cables and injuring people. In the rainy season, water accumulates in low-lying areas of the ground, and drainage ditches must be cleared in time. Water accumulated in important production sites must be pumped out in time. Repair and blocking measures must be taken for leaking houses and water ingress. Dangerous houses must be renovated or personnel must be evacuated before it is expected to arrive. Professionals from the mining company will cooperate with various units to carry out temporary For key places where the ground elevation is lower than the highest flood level in previous years, drainage ditches should be dug before the rainy season, and flood control soil and woven bags should be prepared. In case of heavy rain, flood control soil and woven bags should be prepared at the wellhead to prevent rainwater from flowing back into the well. Flood control and rescue personnel and wellhead staff should be mobilized in time to deal with the cofferdam at the wellhead water inlet. For the prevention and control of old empty water, safety management should be strengthened during the exploration and discharge of water. The water discharge of the drilling hole should be closely observed. If any abnormal situation is found, emergency measures should be taken immediately to test the discharge effect. Only after ensuring that there is no water accumulation in the old empty area can mining operations be carried out. On the basis of the old goaf water hazard forecast, for some projects that may cause major accidents, such as cutting holes in the mountains to penetrate old lanes, etc., an old goaf water hazard notice should be issued 5 to 10 days in advance to increase vigilance, check the implementation of waterproofing measures, and ensure safety. The main measure to prevent and control old goaf water is to conduct strict exploration and drainage. The spatial location of the waterlogged area, the possible amount of water and water pressure must be found out first, and the lowest point of the waterlogged area and the elevation of the outer edge of the waterlogged area must be marked on the plan of the mining project. On this basis, the exploration and drainage design can be compiled to select an appropriate and safe coal mining method. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the invention can be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the invention.
