To solve the problems of gas predrainage in deep seams with “three softs” and low-air permeability, hydraulic punching pressure relief antireflection technology is proposed on the basis of the research background of gas predrainage technology in Lugou Mine to alleviate technical problems, such as low gas drainage efficiency, in this mine. Through the analysis of the mechanism of hydraulic punching and coal breaking, combined with FLAC3D software, a hydraulic punching pressure relief antireflection model is established. Then, the fracture radii of coal rock are simulated and calculated. The results show that, under hydraulic punching with a water pressure of 10 MPa and coal outputs of 3 m3, 6 m3, 9 m3, and 12 m3, the fracture radii of coal and rock are 3.4 m, 4.8 m, 5.5 m, and 5.9 m, respectively. Using the software to fit the relationship between coal output V and hydraulic punching fracture radius R under the same water pressure, R = 2.32479 V0.3839 is obtained. The field test is carried out in the bottom drainage roadway of 32141 in Lugou Mine. The application effect is as follows: the gas concentration of hydraulic punching with a coal output of 3 m3 is twice that of ordinary drilling, and the coal output of hydraulic punching with a coal output of 6 m3 is four times that of ordinary drilling. The extraction concentration is four times that of ordinary drilling, and the extraction concentration of hydraulic punching with a coal output of 9 m3 is 6.4 times that of ordinary drilling. Combining the results of the numerical simulation and taking into account the actual construction situation on site, the coal output of water jetting from the borehole is 9 m3, and the fracture radius is 5.5 m. This outcome means that the effective half radius is 5.5 m, and the borehole spacing is 7.7 m. These values are the construction parameters for large-scale applications. This proposal provides effective technology and equipment for gas drainage in the deep three-soft coal seam. Consequently, it has promotion and reference significance for gas drainage in coal seam of the same geological type.

This paper introduces occurrence characteristics of coal bed methane in China, and analyses the influence of coal seam permeability on coal mine methane extraction. In addition, it presents the mechanism of increasing permeability by pressure relief. Lastly, the methane extraction technologies are discussed, and the applicable conditions of these technologies are analyzed. It is seen that choosing appropriate methane drainage technology, often in combination with several technologies including ground drilling, underground drilling, and pressure relief and permeability improving measures, is crucial for geological complex coal seam, especially low permeability soft coal seam.

The compressive strength of coal in Yanlong mine area of China is less than 3 MPa. Basically, it is powdery. The roof and floor rocks are mudstone. Therefore, this coal seam is a typical ?three soft? coal seam. Anchor and cable cannot be used due to low anchoring force. This paper describes how to support this type of soft coal roadway. The deformation characteristics of soft coal roadway were investigated. Results show the conventional U-shaped steel support is not subjected to uniform load, which bearing capacity can be improved by structural compensation, such as addition of horizontal and vertical beams made of U-shaped steel. In addition, by drilling pressure-relief holes in the ribs of a soft coal roadway, the stress distribution of surround rock in the roadway can be improved, which can transfer the high stress in the surrounding rock to deeper parts and reduce the pressure on the artificial support. A support method is to combine the strengthened U-shaped steel support with pressure-relieving drill holes, providing an economic and efficient way to support the very soft coal roadways.

High-pressure abrasive water jet flushing (HPAWJF) is an effective method used to improve coal seam permeability. In this study, based on the theories of gas flow and coal deformation, a coupled gas-rock model is established to investigate realistic failure processes by introducing equations for the evolution of mesoscopic element damage along with coal mass deformation. Numerical simulation of the failure and pressure relief processes is carried out under different coal seam permeability and flushing length conditions. Distributions of the seepage and gas pressure fields of the realistic failure process are analyzed. The effects of flushing permeability enhancement in a soft coal seam on the gas drainage from boreholes are revealed by conducting a field experiment. Conclusions can be extracted that the gas pressure of the slotted soft coal seam is reduced and that the gas drainage volume is three times higher than that of a conventional borehole. Field tests demonstrate that the gas drainage effect of the soft coal seam is significantly improved and that tunneling speed is nearly doubled. The results obtained from this study can provide guidance to gas drainage in soft coal seams regarding the theory and practice application of the HPAWJF method.

Rib spalling disaster at the coal mining faces severely restricted the safe and efficient output of coal resources. In order to solve this problem, based on the analysis of the current status of rib spalling in the three-soft coal seam 1508 Working Face of Heyang Coal Mine, a mechanical model of sliding-type rib spalling was established and the main influencing factors that affect rib spalling are given. The mechanism of grouting technology to prevent and control rib spalling has been theoretically analyzed. A similarity simulation experiment is used to analyze the change law of roof stress under the condition of three-soft coal seam mining. The optimal grouting pressure is determined by a numerical simulation experiment. And, silicate-modified polymer grouting reinforcement materials (SMPGMs) are used in field experiments. After twice grouting operations in the 1508 Working Face, the coal wall was changed from the original soft and extremely easy rib spalling to a straight coal wall and the amount of rib spalling has been reduced by 57.45% and 48.43, respectively. And, the mining height has increased by 0.16 m and 0.23 m, respectively. The experimental results show that the rib spalling disaster of the three-soft coal seam has been effectively controlled.

The stability of deep “three-soft” coal seam roof has always been a key issue in coal mining. There are a lot of factors affecting the stability of deep three-soft coal seam outburst roof. However, there is currently no definite method able to draw an accurate assessment conclusion on roof stability. In order to accurately determine the main influencing factors of the stability of deep three-soft coal seam outburst roof and reduce the loss of coal production, this paper performed three-soft coal seam risk identification on Lugou Mine based on the introduction of the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process theory. 23 main risk factors were identified. Then, it established a hierarchical structure model of coal seam roof stability in accordance with experts’ opinions. The analytic hierarchy process was used to calculate the weights of indicators at all levels. Next, the paper used the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method and expert scoring to evaluate various risk factors in the indicator system, as well as the overall safety level. The results showed that the deep three-soft coal seam stability of Lugou Mine ranks the third hazard level. The main risk and harmful factors include safety awareness, safety monitoring system, roof weakness, ventilation system, fire-fighting system, and rock bolt quality. In response to the evaluation results, this paper formulated corresponding control measure in terms of ventilation risk, safety monitoring risks, construction personnel risks, and fire protection risk to reduce losses in the mining process, providing a new evaluation method for the stability assessment of deep outburst coal seam roof.
