In order to realize the safe and efficient mining of the short-distance isolated island working face under the deep goaf area, the 120502 isolated island working face of Liuzhuang Mine was taken as the engineering background. The method of combining numerical simulation and field measurement were used comprehensively to systematically simulate and study the spatial evolution of the stress field, plastic strain field, and fracture field of coal rock during the mining process. The leading support pressure and the vertical displacement of the roof in the overlapping section and noncoinciding section of the isolated working face and the goaf above were measured on site. The results are that the peak value of the advanced support pressure of the overlap section and the nonoverlapping section is 10 m before the coal wall of the working face; the advanced support pressure of the nonoverlapping section is 33.3 MPa, and the vertical displacement of the roof is 300 mm. The advanced support pressure and the vertical displacement of the roof in the noncoincidence section were significantly higher than those in the coincidence section of 18.2 MPa and 210 mm. The results are consistent with those predicted by numerical simulation. This provides theoretical support for the safe mining of the 120502 isolated island working face in Liuzhuang Mine and, at the same time, provides a reference for the study of similar working faces in other domestic mining areas.

Abstract It is difficult to accurately calculate the lump coal rate in a fully mechanized mining face. Therefore, a numerical simulation of the coal wall cutting process, which revealed the crack expansion, development, evolution in the coal body and the corresponding lump coal formation mechanism, was performed in PFC. Moreover, a correlation was established between the cutting force and lump coal formation, and a statistical analysis method was proposed to determine the lump coal rate. The following conclusions were drawn from the results. (1) Based on a soft ball model, a coal wall cutting model was established. By setting the roller parameters based on linear bonding and simulating the roller cutting process of the coal body, the coal wall cutting process was effectively simulated, and accurate lump coal rate statistics were provided. (2) Under the cutting stress, the coal body in the working face underwent three stages—microfracture generation, fracture expansion, and fracture penetration—to form lump coal, in which the fracture direction was orthogonal to the cutting pressure chain. Within a certain range from the roller, as the cutting depth of the roller increased, the number of new fractures in the coal body first increased and then stabilized. (3) Under the cutting stress, the fractured coal body was locally compressed, thereby forming a compact core. The formation and destruction of the compact core caused fluctuations in the cutting force. The fluctuation amplitude was positively related to the coal mass. (4) Because the simulation did not consider secondary damage in the coal, the simulated lump coal rate was larger than the actual lump coal rate in the working face; this deviation was mainly concentrated in large lump coal with a diameter greater than 300 mm.

Mining Height

Longwall pier-column backfilling is a partial backfilling technique initially designed in thin coal seam mines. With the increase of mining intensity, the mining height and width of the backfilling working face will also increase. It is necessary to analyze how changes in working face dimensions influence the control effect of overburden subsidence in pier-column backfilling. In this study, a mining model with a combination of 25 conditions (five different mining heights (1~3 m) × five different mining widths (80~240 m)) was designed using a FLAC3D(Vision 5.0) numerical simulation. The simulation was used to analyze the control effect of overburden subsidence with varying mining heights and widths. In addition, according to the field working face conditions, two physical similarity models were performed to explore the overburden subsidence law in pier-column backfilling with different mining heights and widths. It was observed from the above study that mining heights and widths will have a different influence on the overburden subsidence in longwall pier-column backfilling. The result of this study provides strong theoretical support for evaluating the control effect of overburden subsidence in longwall pier-column backfilling.

Dust Reduction

Coalbed water injection is the most basic and effective dust-proof technology in the coal mining face. To understand the influence of coalbed water injection process parameters and coalbed characteristic parameters on coal wetting radius, this paper uses Fluent computational fluid dynamics software to systematically study the seepage process of coalbed water injection under different process parameters and coalbed characteristic parameters, calculation results of which are applied to engineering practice. The results show that the numerical simulation can help to predict the wetness range of coalbed water injection, and the results can provide guidance for the onsite design of coalbed water injection process parameters. The effect of dust reduction applied to onsite coalbed water injection is significant, with the average dust reduction rates during coal cutting and support moving being 67.85% and 46.07%, respectively, which effectively reduces the dust concentration on the working face and improves the working environment.
