Abstract In the process of longwall top coal caving, the selection of the top coal caving interval along the advancing direction of the working face has an important effect on the top coal recovery. To explore a realistic top coal caving interval of the longwall top coal caving working face, longwall top coal caving panel 8202 in the Tongxin Coal Mine is used as an example, and 30 numerical simulation models are established by using Continuum-based Distinct Element Method (CDEM) simulation software to study the top coal recovery with 4.0 m, 8.0 m, 12.0 m, 16.0 m, 20.0 m and 24.0 m top coal thicknesses and 0.8 m, 1.0 m, 1.2 m, 1.6 m and 2.4 m top coal caving intervals. The results show that with an increase in the top coal caving interval, the single top coal caving amount increases. The top coal recovery is the highest with a 0.8 m top coal caving interval when the thickness of the top coal is less than 4.0 m, and it is the highest with a 1.2 m top coal caving interval when the coal seam thickness is greater than 4.0 m. These results provide a reference for the selection of a realistic top coal caving interval in thick coal seam caving mining.

Abstract Gob-side entry retained with roadside filling (GER-RF) plays a key role in achieving coal mining without pillar and improving the coal resource recovery rate. Since there are few reports on the cyclic filling length of GER-RF, a method based on the stress difference method is proposed to determine the cyclic filling length of GER-RF. Firstly, a stability analysis mechanics model of the immediate roof above roadside filling area in GER was established, then the relationship between the roof stress distribution and the unsupported roof length was obtained by the stress difference method. According to the roof stability above roadside filling area based on the relationship between the roof stress and its tensile strength, the maximum unsupported roof length and rational cyclic filling length of GER-RF. Combined with the geological conditions of the 1103 thin coal seam working face of Heilong Coal Mine and the geological conditions of the 1301 thick coal seam working face of Licun Coal Mine, this suggested method was applied to determine that the rational cyclic filling lengths of GER-RF were 2.4 m and 3.2 m, respectively. Field trial tests show that the suggested method can effectively control the surrounding rock deformation along with rational road-in support and roadside support, and improve the filling and construction speed.

Gob-side entry retaining technology with roof cutting (GERRC) has been widely used in flat and near-flat coal seam conditions, but its application under inclined coal seam is still very deficient. In order to further improve the application system of GERRC and overcome the application difficulties under special geological conditions, this paper takes the 43073 working face of Yixin coal mine as an example to research the GERRC with upper roadway under gently inclined thick coal seam. Firstly, the difficulties in the upper entry retaining with inclined coal seam are analyzed and the corresponding key technologies and system designs are put forward. Subsequently, the roof cutting and upper entry retaining are designed in detail according to geological conditions of test working face, and the roof cutting and pressure releasing effect is analyzed by numerical simulation to expound the stress distribution and pressure releasing mechanism of surrounding rock. Finally, the upper entry retaining field test is carried out to verify the feasibility and applicability of the technology and related designs. Through field monitoring, it is found that the weighting step increases significantly, the weighting strength decreases effectively on the roof cutting side, and the pressure relief effect is obvious. Meanwhile, the maximum roof to floor convergence is 361 mm and the maximum shrinkage of both sides is 280 mm, so the retained entry can meet the reuse requirement of adjacent working face.

The high-efficiency paste backfilling mining technology of solid waste in thick coal seam above 6 m is a complex system engineering, which involves mining, backfilling, supporting, subsidence, safety, and other aspects, so it is of great strategic significance to study the technology. In this paper, on the basis of comprehensive research methods such as laboratory experiments, theoretical analysis, computer programming, and other comprehensive research methods, aiming at the problems of low production capacity and high paste backfilling cost, taking the mining of No. 3 Coal Seam under buildings in Lu’an area as the research object, the stress distribution law of high-efficiency paste backfilling working face with solid waste in more than 6-meter-thick coal seam was carried out. The main achievements are as follows: On the basis of the theoretical establishment of the program method for the instability discriminant analysis of roof rock beam failure with the change of backfilling body unit strength with time, a numerical calculation model considering the change process of backfilling body strength is established. The stress distribution analysis of the E1302 working face before and during the mining process plays a guiding role in the actual production of the whole working face and roadway. The research results support the sustainable development of coal mining enterprises from technology, which has great economic, social, and environmental benefits, and can promote the industrialization of green mining high-tech in Shanxi Province and even the whole country and can promote the green mining technology progress of paste backfilling in coal mines in China, which is of great significance to the sustainable development of mining production and environmental construction.

In order to reveal the evolution law of gas discharge of carbon monoxide in mining an extra-thick coal seam of the Datong mining area by the numerical simulation and field monitoring test, the 8202 working face and 8309 working face in the Tongxin coal mine are chosen as the test sites. The results show that the seepage flow of carbon monoxide gas reaches 1.854 × 10 − 8   m 3 / s in the #1 fracture after the #3 key stratum in the far field breaks in the 8202 working face, the seepage flow of carbon monoxide gas reaches 1.307 × 10 − 7   m 3 / s in the #2 fracture, the seepage flow of carbon monoxide gas reaches 4.276 × 10 − 7   m 3 / s in the #3 fracture, the seepage flow of carbon monoxide gas reaches 4.192 × 10 − 7   m 3 / s in the #4 fracture, and the seepage flow of carbon monoxide gas reaches 1.623 × 10 − 7   m 3 / s in the #5 fracture. The initial caving of the #3 key stratum in the far field occurs and collapses to the gob, when the working face in the #3-5 coal seam advances to 180 m, and the voussoir beam forms in the #3 key stratum. Besides, a shower shape was formed by the seepage flow of carbon monoxide gas, and the maximum flow in the working face reaches 4.562 × 10 − 4   m 3 / s . When the 8309 working face advances from 521.2 m to 556.4 m, the air pressure at the working face gradually rises and reaches the maximum magnitude and then begins to decrease; when the working face advances to 556.4 m, the air pressure at the working face reaches the maximum magnitude of 91.35 kPa. The gas discharge disaster of carbon monoxide in mining the extra-thick coal seam of the Datong mining area is effectively controlled by the dynamic balance multipoint control technology. The research results can be treated as an important theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment for carbon monoxide discharge disaster in mining the extra-thick coal seam of the Datong mining area.

In order to solve the problem of pressure relief gas control under high-strength fully mechanized top-coal caving in low-gas-thick-coal seams, this paper studies the evolution of overburden structures and the distribution characteristics of fissure fields during the initial and stable period of working face by physical simulation and numerical analysis. The mathematical model of coupling between mining fracture field and pressure relief gas field is established. The results reveal the distribution characteristics of pressure relief gas field that considers mining-induced fissure field. According to the distribution of mining gas accumulation area, the high directional long boreholes have been put forward to control the pressure relief gas in goafs, and the effect has been tested. The results show that the initial pressure and three periodic pressures occurred from the cutting hole to 135 m in the initial mining period of the working face. The height of collapse zone developed to 22 m, and fracture height developed to 75 m. The development height of caving zone is stable at 25∼27 m, and the development height of fissure zone is stable at 75∼95 m. The process and distribution of pressure relief gas flow in goaf are obtained by solving the numerical model of pressure relief gas flow in mining fissure field. The gas accumulation area is located within 25∼55 m from return laneway and 25∼50 m from the roof of coal seam. After the implementation of high directional long drilling gas drainage technology in the initial mining period and the stable mining period, good results have been obtained in the gas control, where the average concentration of gas extraction is 5.8%, the average gas flow rate is 0.71 m3/min, and the gas concentration in upper corner and return air is less than 0.8%. The results can provide a reference for pressure relief gas control under similar conditions.
