The present invention relates to a mining design method for an upper protective layer in coal seam mining, and in particular, to a mining design method for a near-whole rock upper protective layer in coal seam mining.
In mining technology of a gas-rich coal seam, generally, a protective layer is first mined for pressure-relief gas drainage, and then a protected layer is mined. Gas pressure-relief of a coal seam as the protected layer is effectively performed by mining of an upper protective layer, overlying strata movement, and gas drainage of the protected layer through boreholes. Currently, because the upper protective layer may not contain a traditional minable coal seam as protected layer, an accurate mining design method for a near-whole rock upper protective layer with a high refuse content has not yet emerged. A protective layer mining process is a crucial factor affecting mining of the near-whole rock upper protective layer. Therefore, by researching a mining thickness of the near-whole rock upper protective layer and an interval between the protective layer and the protected layer, and according to a mining thickness percentage accounted by rock in the near-whole rock upper protective layer, a mining process of the near-whole rock protective layer is determined from among a traditional fully-mechanized coal mining process, a traditional fully-mechanized coal mining process assisted by single-row hole pre-splitting blasting, and a traditional fully-mechanized coal mining process assisted by twisted hole blasting. Such mining process is of great significance to safe mining of a gas-rich coal seam.
Technical Problem:
An objective of the present invention is to provide an economically efficient, safe and reliable mining design method for a near-whole rock upper protective layer in coal seam mining, so as to solve an existing problem in mining of a low-permeability gas-rich coal seam without a regular protective layer.
Technical Solution:
In the mining design method for a near-whole rock upper protective layer in coal mining of the present invention, based on information about engineering geologic conditions of a protective layer mining well and physico-mechanical parameters of a coal-rock mass sample, a protective layer mining thickness M and an interval H between the protective layer and the protected layer are determined by means of numerical analysis such that an expansion deformation rate φ of a protected layer, a failure depth K of a floor plastic zone of a protective layer, and a coal seam gas pressure P meet the Provision in Prevention and Control of Coal and Gas Outburst. Then, according to a mining thickness percentage accounted by rock in the near-whole rock upper protective layer, a mining process of the near-whole rock protective layer is determined from among a traditional fully-mechanized coal mining process, a traditional fully-mechanized coal mining process assisted by single-row hole pre-splitting blasting, and a traditional fully-mechanized coal mining process assisted by double-row twisted hole blasting. Specific steps are as follows:
(1) collecting information about engineering geologic conditions of a protective layer mining well, and sampling a coal-rock mass;
(2) fabricating a standard sample from the sampled coal-rock mass, and performing a rock mechanics test, to obtain physico-mechanical parameters of the coal-rock mass;
(3) according to the information about the engineering geologic conditions of the protective layer mining well and the physico-mechanical parameters of the coal-rock mass, establishing a coal-mining numerical model for the near-whole rock upper protective layer by using finite element analysis software FLAC3D;
(4) calculating and analyzing, in a simulated manner, changes of an expansion deformation rate of a protected layer, a failure depth K of a floor plastic zone of a protective layer, and a coal seam gas pressure P under respective conditions that an interval H between the protective layer and the protected layer is not changed and a protective layer mining thickness M is changed, or the protective layer mining thickness M is not changed and the interval H between the protective layer and the protected layer is changed;
(5) based on a result of the simulated calculation, determining a desired protective layer mining thickness M and a desired interval H between the protective layer and the protected layer; and
(6) according to a mining thickness percentage accounted by rock in the near-whole rock upper protective layer, determining a mining process of the near-whole rock protective layer from among a traditional fully-mechanized coal mining process, a traditional fully-mechanized coal mining process assisted by single-row hole pre-splitting blasting, and a traditional fully-mechanized coal mining process assisted by twisted hole blasting.
The near-whole rock upper protective layer is located above the protected layer, and has a refuse content of up to 80% when a mining thickness of the protective layer is 1.5 m to 3.0 m.
Advantageous effect: With the mining design method for a near-whole rock upper protective layer, in an actual application, it is only required to determine an upper protective layer mining thickness and an interval between a protective layer and a protected layer, and then a mining process of the near-whole rock protective layer can be determined according to a thickness percentage occupied by rock mining in mining of the near-whole rock protective layer. This method offers a reference for a mining design for the upper protective layer, and provides a theoretical basis for safe mining of a gas-rich coal outburst mine. This method is economically efficient, safe and efficient, and has a wide applicability.
One embodiment of the present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
