HN-1# is the first fully working coring well of the Taiyuan Formation (Ty) in the Huinan Coalfield and exploration studies are currently underway on the associated resources of the coal-bearing strata. The HN-1# well is located in the Fufeng thrust nappe structural belt in the south of the Huainan Coalfield. Three coal samples from the Ty were collected from HN-1# and inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry and inductively-coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry were used to determine the Ge content of each sample. Based on proximate and ultimate analyses, microscopy data, and analyses of the ash products, some important findings were made. The Ty coal samples had a relatively high total sulfur (St,d) content (4.24%), thus the coal was considered to be a lower ranked coal (high volatility bituminous coal), which also had a low coal ash composition index (k, 1.87). Collodetrinite was the main submaceral of the Ty coal. Small amounts of pyrite particles were found in the coal seams of the Ty, while the contents of pyrite and algae in the top and bottom sections of the coal seam were relatively high, which meant that the swampy peat conditions which existed during the formation of the coal seams were affected by seawater; also the degree of mineralization of the coal seam was relatively high, which is consistent with reducing conditions in a coastal environment setting. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) experiments showed that the modes of occurrence of Ge in the Ty coal were mainly those for organic-bound and adsorbed Ge species. The organic carbon isotope values for the Ty coal ranged from − 24.1‰ to − 23.8‰, with an average value of − 24.0‰, which is equivalent to the value for terrestrial plants (average value − 24.0‰). The Ge content of the Ty coal was 13.57 mg/kg. The Ge content was negatively correlated with volatile matter and the ash yield.
This paper aimed to perform systematical study on the distribution of landslide thrust in pile-anchor support system, which has been a widely applicable treatment method in landslide control with safety, highly efficiency and adaptation. The advantage of photoelastic technique is visualization of strain and stress fields, therefore photoelastic model tests are conducted to show the distribution of landslide thrust in pile-anchor structure before failure in landslide. The effects of different materials and pile lengths are investigated by 6 photoelastic test cases under different loading conditions. It can be found from quantitative analysis of experimental results that load proportion of anchor would increase gradually with the decrease of pile embedded depth or the increase of landslide thrust force. Meanwhile, landslide thrust distribution in pile-anchor structure is directly affected by the stiffness of piles. The pile-anchor structure is significantly better at reducing bending moment value and optimizing bending moment distribution of pile. Finally, some theoretical analysis and design suggestions are proposed based on the experimental study.
Based on analysis of a large data set and supplementary sampling and analysis for hazardous trace elements in coal samples from the Huainan Coalfield, a generalized contrast-weighted scale index method was used to establish a model to evaluate the grade of coal cleanliness and its regional distribution in the main coal seam (No. 13-1) The results showed that: (1) The contents of Cr, Mn and Ni in the coal seam are relatively high and the average values are greater than 20 μg/g. The contents of Se and Hg are at a high level while most other trace elements are at normal levels. (2) The cleanliness grade of the coal seam is mainly grade III–IV, which corresponds to a relatively good-medium coal cleanliness grade. However, some parts of the seam are at grade V (relatively poor coal cleanliness). (3) Coal of relatively good cleanliness grade (grade III) is distributed mainly in the regions corresponding to the Zhuji-Dingji-Gubei coal mines and in the eastern periphery of the Panji coal mine. Coal of medium cleanliness (grade IV) is distributed mainly in the regions of the Panji-Xiejiaji and Kouzidong coalmines. Relatively poor grade coal (grade V) is distributed in the southwest regions of the coalfield and the contents of Cr, As and Hg in coal collected from the relatively poor coal cleanliness regions often exceed the regulatory standards for the maximum concentration limits.
