Abstract Soft tectonic coal commonly exists in coal and gas outburst zones. The physical simulation experiment was carried out to reproduce the influences of soft coal area on the outburst, and the guiding action mechanism of soft tectonic coal on the outburst was investigated. This study concludes that the amount of outburst coal in the experiments of group with local existence of soft coal area are relatively lower. The outburst coal amount (3.8035 kg) and relative outburst intensity (21.02%) in the GR5# experiment were both lower than that in the GN6# experiment of control group. However, the outburst coal in the experiments of group with local existence of soft coal area could be commonly migrated to a long distance, the maximum throwing distances in the three experiments were all over 16.73 m, reaching as high as 20.10 m. Under the gas pressure of 0.30 MPa in the group with local existence of soft coal area, the outburst coal amount (2.7355 kg) was smaller than the amount (2.803 kg) of pulverized coal filled, and the 2.0 cm coal pillar experiences failure only nearby the outburst mouth. As the gas pressure increases, the failure degree of the coal pillar becomes higher and higher until complete failure. The outburst development sequence is changed due to the existence of the soft tectonic soft area. Once the sealing conditions are destructed, the outburst firstly develops in the soft tectonic coal area. Nevertheless, sufficient energy is supplied to transport the coal mass in the soft tectonic coal area to a farther distance, while the residual outburst energy can just result in the outburst of a small quantity of coal masses in the normal area. This research will be of great scientific significance for explaining the soft tectonic coal-induced change of outburst starting and development sequence.

AbstractAlthough a series of hypotheses have been proposed, the mechanism underlying coal and gas outburst remains unclear. Given the low-index outbursts encountered in mining practice, we attempt to explore this mechanism using a multiphysics coupling model considering the effects of coal strength and gas mass transfer on failure. Based on force analysis of coal ahead of the heading face, a risk identification index Cm and a critical criterion (Cm ≥ 1) of coal instability are proposed. According to this criterion, the driving force of an outburst consists of stress and gas pressure gradients along the heading direction of the roadway, whereas resistance depends on the shear and tensile strengths of the coal. The results show that outburst risk decreases slightly, followed by a rapid increase, with increasing vertical stress, whereas it decreases with increasing coal strength and increases with gas pressure monotonically. Using the response surface method, a coupled multi-factor model for the risk identification index is developed. The results indicate strong interactions among the controlling factors. Moreover, the critical values of the factors corresponding to outburst change depending on the environment of the coal seams, rather than being constants. As the buried depth of a coal seam increases, the critical values of gas pressure and coal strength decrease slightly, followed by a rapid increase. According to its controlling factors, outburst can be divided into stress-dominated, coal-strength-dominated, gas-pressure-dominated, and multi-factor compound types. Based on this classification, a classified control method is proposed to enable more targeted outburst prevention.

The coal and gas outburst is serious at Qingshan Coal Mine of Jiangxi Province, so it is of significance to research the features of Jianshanchong klippe and its control to gas geology. The research reveals that: Jianshanchong klippe is distributed from the east boundary of Qingshan Coal Mine to No. 45 Exploration Line, its transverse profile is like a funnel while its longitudinal profile is like a wedge, northwest side of the klippe is thicker and deeper while southeast side is thinner and more shallow. Because of the cover and insert of Jianshanchong klippe, the structure of coal-bearing strata is more complex, some secondary folds are formed, and also, the coal seam is changed greatly, the tectonic coal is well developed and the coal seam is suddenly thickening or thinning. Due to the effect of Jianshanchong klippe, the coal and gas outbursts occur in the area of secondary folds, thicker coal seams or tectonic coals. Concerning the prediction of gas geology in deep area, in view of the facts including simpler structure, stable coal seam and decreased thickness, the gas emission rate and the coal and gas outburst will decrease in Fifth and Sixth Mining Level than that in Second and Third Mining Level

The precise mechanism of the coal and gas outburst is still unresolved, but productive practices in Qidong mine have testified that the coal and gas outburst accidents are predominantly associated with the belt of geological structure, the zone of tectonic coal occurrence and the area of the stress concentration. So it is very important to study characteristics of coal bed gas geology for coal bed gas prediction and prevention. Using gas-geology theory and method, the research focused on the factors of coal and gas outburst, such as coal bed gas occurrence, stress distribution, tectonic coal occurrence and magmatic rock presence within Qidong mine. The result shows that: Qidong mine district could be divided into 4 geological units by 3 faults as the boundary, the faults of Weimiao fault, F2, and F5; there are different conditions and main controlling factors of coal bed gas occurrence within four geological units. The unit I of geology: coal bed gas occurrence conditions are simpler, mainly contacted with the coal burial depth; the unit II: the conditions are more complex, predominantly associated with fault structures; the unit III: as a result of the presence of igneous intrusions, coal bed gas content in unit III is the highest within the whole mine; the unit IV: major factor of the conditions is the fold caused by strata uplift, which also leads to a large number of gas emissions. 25 coal and gas outburst accidents all occurred within the unit II of geology.

Coal seam B1 has characteristics of soft, poor air permeability, high gas content and gas pressure, therefore, there's strong outburst danger in Liangbei Coal Mine. However, the gas control in the coal with lower strength and lower permeability is still in the exploration. Depth of coal roadway is 610-750m at 11 mining area. The roadway excavating speed is seriously influenced by gas outburst, so it brings unfavorable influence to the mine. Based on the principle of relieving gas pressure in the low permeability reservoir, the shortages of existing methods are analyzed for gas control and optimization measure for gas outburst prevention, i.e. "short, flat, long, subtraction, stay, support", put forward from the view of system engineering. With the new measure, drilling efficiency increase, borehole collapse decrease, single borehole drainage scope increase, the gas control meets the requirement and the coal side is easily to be controlled. After application of the optimization technique, the roadway excavating speed is increased from 45m to 70m every month in 11mining area, and the tight situation of excavation replacement is alleviated.

The aim of this study was to explore the evolution and release rule of internal energy storage in the process of coal and gas outburst and to further reveal the mechanism of coal and gas outburst from the perspective of energy. In this paper, the experiment of gas expansion energy release of coal samples under different adsorption pressures and with different moisture contents was carried out with the self-developed experimental device for release of gas-bearing coal expansion energy under load, and the energy of the whole outburst process was divided into three parts: the total expansion energy of gas, the energy consumed by destroying and throwing out coal body and the energy released inefficiently. On the basis of reasonable assumption, the energy evolution calculation model of each part was constructed with mathematical method. By analyzing the changes and distribution rules of three parts of energy under different experimental conditions, this paper explored the controlling effects of gas pressure, water content, and other variables on the energy evolution rules in the process of coal and gas outburst. Experimental and theoretical studies showed that in the gas-dominated coal and gas outburst process, the destruction of coal body was in the form of stratification; under each experimental condition, there existed a critical gas pressure value for the occurrence of coal and gas outburst, and there was a sudden change of energy evolution near this value; the existence of water made the critical pressure and the minimum energy consumption of coal and gas outburst increase obviously; under the experimental conditions, there was a linear relationship between the critical gas pressure and water content and a positive exponential relationship between the minimum energy consumption and water content.
