Method for preventing transient abnormal emission of gas in goaf by intelligent roof control and cut-off

PendingCN122169870AGas removalSealing/packingLongwall miningControl system
This invention discloses a method for intelligent roof control and diversion to prevent sudden and abnormal gas outbursts in goaf areas. This method involves determining the initial and cyclical pressure step distance, optimizing the design and construction of roof control and diversion borehole parameters, introducing a controllable, slow-release static fracturing agent into key strata, installing stainless steel screens and sealing and continuously pumping out the gas, intelligently controlling the coupling of roof fracturing and diversion / extraction parameters, evaluating and optimizing the effects, and cyclically executing the method as the working face advances. This forms a collaborative prevention and control system of "active weakening - intelligent control." This invention shifts the disaster management operation space from the longwall mining face to the floor drainage roadway, and the roof weakening method shifts from traditional blasting to a safe, environmentally friendly, and controllable static fracturing agent pre-fracture method. The management approach shifts from single-hazard management to multi-hazard collaborative management, achieving intelligent roof control and diversion to prevent sudden and abnormal gas outbursts in goaf areas. This fundamentally eliminates the adverse effects of strong mine pressure manifestations and abnormal gas outbursts in goaf areas on safe production, curbing risks at the source.
