The effectiveness of grouting scheme has been simulated to prevent the coal spontaneous combustion at a goaf in Haizi Colliery, China. The colliery has been operated for long period over 27 years and has a complex ventilation network including airflow leakages which could possibly lead to the spontaneous combustion of coal at goafs. Firstly, the mine ventilation simulator MIVENA was used to analyze the mine ventilation network airflows to control airflows in and out of working faces and goafs. As the second approach, numerical simulations were carried by the simulator FLUENT in order to predict spontaneous combustion of residual coal with leakage flow in the #3205 goaf. It was cleared that the goaf can be divided into three zones based on oxygen concentration in the goaf area. Finally, the numerical simulation results show that the slurry grouting method is able to be an effective and economical method by reducing porosity in the goaf area to prevent spontaneous combustion of residual coal.

Abstract It is important to study the oxidation characteristics of coal samples under different air supply rates to prevent spontaneous combustion of coal, particularly when the air supply rate at the working face needs to be changed during support withdrawal. In this work a self-designed temperature-programmed experimental device was used to study the change laws of various index gases released during the spontaneous combustion of coal under various air supply conditions. The study focused on the analysis of the low-temperature (30–200 ℃) oxidation stage, the increase in air supply, and the concentration change process of four hydrocarbon gases (C2H6, C3H8, C2H4, and C2H2) generated by the coal sample. The change law of the CO generation rate under the combined effect of temperature and air supply was analyzed, and surface fitting was performed to determine the characteristics of phased changes. Based on the working face parameters of the Yangchangwan Coal Mine, this study predicted the CO concentration at the upper corner of the working face at the characteristic temperature of coal spontaneous combustion during the withdrawal period. The paper summarizes comprehensive safety measures that can help prevent spontaneous combustion during the withdrawal period.

Spontaneous Combustion Of Coal

The effectiveness of localization and extinguishing of places of underground fires that occur in mine worked out spaces depends on information about the location of a place of spontaneous combustion. Existing methods to detect the processes of coal spontaneous combustion in mines include monitoring the content of gases in mine atmosphere, released during the spontaneous combustion of coal. However, this control method does not allow determining the location of a place of combustion, since the paths of gas movement in the worked out space are unknown. The surface gas survey allows to determine the location of the underground fire. The calculations showed that gases, generated in the fire seat, spread to the earth’s surface due to molecular diffusion, the thermal depression developed by the fire seat and the drops of air pressure created by the ventilation fans. The dependences of the distribution of fire gases content in rocks on the rate of drops of air pressure between the worked out space in a mine with a fire seat and the atmosphere on the surface of the earth are obtained. Mine researches have confirmed the formation of anomalies of fire gases in rocks and soil over places of spontaneous combustion of coal occurred in worked out space. When conducting a gas survey, it is sufficient to measure the content of fire gases in the soil at a depth of 0.5-1.0 m.

Spontaneous Combustion Of Coal

It is imperative to have an in-depth understanding of the effect of extraneous moisture on the spontaneous combustion of coal not only for the control and prevention of coal spontaneous combustion in the coal mining industry, but also for the optimization design and application of the technological process. In this study, the type of moisture in a coal body has been redefined for the first time from the perspective of disaster prevention and control, i.e., original occurrence of moisture in the coal matrix and the extraneous moisture from the technological process. A suit of coal bodies with different extraneous moisture was prepared by soaking long-flame coal with a low water content. Using a temperature-programmed oxidation test, the effects of extraneous moisture on the temperature increase rate of coal bodies and the emission characteristics of gaseous products during coal spontaneous combustion were studied. Moreover, combined with the characterization of thermal analysis and of pore structure test, the action the mechanism of extraneous moisture on the coal spontaneous combustion process was also explored. The experimental results indicated that the effect of the extraneous moisture content varied with the development of coal spontaneous combustion. In the slow oxidation stage, extraneous moisture played a physical inhibition role in the coal oxidation. In the accelerated oxidation stage, extraneous moisture exhibited a catalytic effect on the coal–oxygen reaction or directly participated in the reaction. After entering the rapid oxidation stage, a delayed effect appeared. When the coal temperature exceeded 180 °C, the spontaneous combustion characteristics of coals with different initial moisture contents gradually tended to achieved balance.

Scientific Ideas

The paper investigates the hypothesis according to which one of the factors influencing the spontaneous combustion of coal-bearing dumps is its geodynamic position, i.e. its location in the geodynamically dangerous zone (GDZ) at the boundary of the Earth crust blocks. This hypothesis is put forward on the basis of scientific ideas about the block structure of the Earth crust and the available statistical data on the location of burning dumps and is studied using computer modeling. A dump located in the area of Eastern Donbass was chosen as the object of research. The simulation results show that the penetration of air into the dump body from the mine through the GDZ, which crosses the mining zone, is possible at an excess pressure of 1000 Pa created by the main ventilation fans. The fire source appearance in the dump body causes an increase in the temperature of the dump mass and becomes a kind of trigger that "turns on" the aerodynamic connection between the dump and the environment, carried out through the GDZ. It is concluded that the establishment of an aerodynamic connection between the mine workings and the dump through the GDZ can be an important factor contributing to the endogenous fire hazard of coal-bearing dumps. The simulation results can be used in the development of projects for monitoring coal-bearing dumps and measures to combat their spontaneous combustion.

Coal spontaneous combustion needs to have enough oxygen and heat, on the one hand, water salts inhibitor can isolate from coal exposure to air; on the other hand, water salts inhibitor interact with active groups in coal to form complex, increase the stability of coal and boost the heat of spontaneous combustion of coal. This paper has made use of quantum chemical calculation’s software Gaussian 03 to calculate the complex what coal’s active groups and Ca2+ inhibitor interacted to form, and research the mechanism for inhibitor suppressed the spontaneous combustion of coal.
