Optimal Parameters of Gas Drainage and Carbon Dioxide Inerting Technology and Its Application in a High Gassy and Spontaneous Combustion Mine

Abstract

In the process of coupling disaster prevention and control of gas and coal spontaneous combustion in goaf, there is a great contradiction between the gas drainage and carbon dioxide inerting technology. The key performance indexes are put forward to solve the coupling disaster, such as the air quantity of the intake airway (A), the gas drainage rate (B), the carbon dioxide injection rate (C), and the injection depth (D). Using the numerical simulation method and the orthogonal test of four factors and three levels, we establish the coupling disaster model of the no. 7436 working face in the Kongzhuang coal mine. Using a combination of the relative membership degree method and range analysis, the optimal level of each factor is determined, which is A II B III C II D II . Furthermore, the distribution law of the airflow field is obtained under the conditions of different gas drainage rates and carbon dioxide injection rates. The results show that the gas concentration decreases with an increase in gas drainage in the upper corner, but it has little impact on the width of the oxidation zone. The gas concentration can be reduced to 1%, while the gas drainage rate is higher than 35 m 3 /min. With an increase in gas injection rate, the carbon dioxide emission rate increases in the upper corner, but the width of the oxidation zone decreases. Also, the gas injection rate should be less than 800 m 3 /h. Moreover, with an increase in injection time in the upper corner during the injection process, the carbon dioxide and gas concentrations increase, and the maximum carbon dioxide concentration is 1.3%, and the maximum gas concentration is 0.42%, which is consistent with the results of numerical simulations.

Study on the Preparation of Montmorillonite-Type Multiple Network Composite Gel for Coal Spontaneous Combustion and Its Firefighting Mechanism

“…China is among the world’s largest energy producers, consumers, and carbon emitters . CO 2 generated by the spontaneous combustion of coal accounts for more than 3% of total CO 2 emissions, and a large amount of CO 2 from coalfield fires is released into the atmosphere. − To achieve the goal of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality at the earliest, it is imperative to prevent the risk of automatic coal combustion and reduce natural coal fires. Therefore, exploration of technologies to prevent and control the spontaneous combustion of coal has been one of the topics pursued by scientific and technical researchers. − …”

Design of gas drainage system based on PLC redundancy control technology

“…Gas drainage is the fundamental method to reduce the pressure and content of methane gas in coal seams. The principle of negative pressure generated by the gas drainage pump is used to pump the gas stored in goaf and pre mining coal seams to the ground for gas power generation and thermal storage and oxidation utilization through drilling, burying pipes, etc., so as to reduce the emission of greenhouse gas and fundamentally solve the gas disaster [9][10][11].…”
