Roof pre-splitting roadway is a new technology in roof induced rock burst prevention and control of incline coal seam. With the purpose of increasing rock burst prevention and control effective, FLAC3D numerical simulation software was used to analyze stress distribution characteristics and roof pre-splitting effect and the layout of the roof pre-splitting roadway parameters. The results showed that the roof pre-splitting roadway changed roof and floor stress distribution, the stress concentration degree is high in the zone of roof and floor around pre-splitting roadway and the two ribs of pre-splitting roadway, which made the roof strength weakened and easy to break, avoiding a large overhang in the process of mining and rock-burst; The roof pre-splitting roadway led to stress concentration in the range of 5 ~ 10 m, roof effective weakening range 12 m, so the distance of two roof pre-splitting roadway should be more than 20m. The research provided the reference basis for rock burst prevention by roof pre-splitting roadway in the incline coal seam group mining.

Deep rock burst accidents occur frequently and become increasingly serious. Further improving the effectiveness and accuracy of the prevention and control of rock burst, ensuring the safe and efficient production of mines, clarifying the basic causes of disasters, and refining the type of deep rock burst are the most important key links. Aiming at the problems such as unclear incentives and types and the lack of effective and targeted prevention measures of deep rock burst, taking Xin’an Mine as the research background, based on the energy theory, the coal and rock mass multisource energy unified equation was established to analyze coal and rock mass instability mechanism. According to the different degrees of participation of various factors, the types of deep rock burst are determined as three categories and four types, and the corresponding judgment criteria are proposed. The precise prevention and control system for the source of rock burst with Xin’an characteristics is proposed, successfully applied to the 8101 working face, which not only guarantees the safe production of the working face, but also achieves good economic benefits. The research results lay the foundation for improving the accuracy and precision of the prevention and control of deep rock burst and provide theoretical guidance for the safe and efficient mining of the mine.

Rock burst induced by mining is one of the most serious dynamic disasters in the process of coal mining. The mechanism of a rock burst is similar to that of a natural earthquake. It is difficult to accurately predict the “time, space, and strength” of rock burst, but the possibility of rock burst can be predicted based on the results of microseismic monitoring. In this paper, the rock burst system under the tectonic stress field is established based on the practice of coal mining and the result of mine ground crustal stress measurement. According to the magnitude of microseismic monitoring, the amount of the energy and spatial position of the rock burst are determined. Based on the theory of explosion mechanics, aiming at the prevention and control of rock burst in the coal mine, the technique of liquid CO2 fracturing blasting is put forward. By the experiment of blasting mechanics, the blasting parameters are determined, and the controlling mechanism of rock burst of liquid CO2 fracturing blasting is revealed. The application of liquid CO2 fissure blasting technology in the prevention and control of rock burst in Jixian Coal Mine shows that CO2 fracturing blasting reduces the stress concentration of the rock burst system and transfers energy to the deeper part, and there is no open fire in the blasting. It is a new, safe, and efficient method to prevent and control rock burst, which can be applied widely.

According to the characteristics of rock burst of high horizontal stress roadway floor, the rock burst mechanism of roadway floor was studied with the background of south track roadway Xing’an mine. Based on the deflection theory and energy principle of the slab, the mechanical model of the floor of the roadway under high horizontal stress was established, the stress and energy criteria of rock burst occurred in the floor of the roadway were deduced, the prevention and control measures of the floor pressure relief with large diameter borehole and concrete-filled steel tube pile support were put forward, and the key parameters were determined. By establishing a numerical model, the evolution law of plastic zone, horizontal stress, and elastic strain energy density of roadway floor with or without support is contrastively analyzed. The results show that the effective means to prevent and control the floor rock burst is to cut off the stress transfer path by weakening the hard floor to reduce floor energy accumulation so as to reduce the floor rock burst risk. Based on the above research, field tests were carried out, and the microseismic monitoring results showed that the floor pressure relief of large diameter boreholes and concrete-filled steel tube pile support effectively relieved the floor rock burst and guaranteed the safety and efficiency of roadway excavation. This technology can provide a reference for the prevention and control of floor rock burst of similar roadways.

Hydrogen sulphide is a toxic gas often present in coal seams and seriously threatens the lives and health of underground workers in coal mines. In this study, we theoretically modelled hydrogen sulphide generation in extremely thick underground coal mines with the +575 level #45 coal seam of Wudong Coal Mine as an example and obtained the on-site hydrogen sulphide emission pattern and spatial distribution features by combining field measurements and computational fluid dynamics simulation. The results showed that hydrogen sulphide mainly exists in the coal porous system in an adsorbed state. Because hydrogen sulphide has a molecular weight greater than the average molecular weight of air molecules, its concentration decreases with the increase of altitude to the bottom plate. When mining the upper stratified coal stratum, it diffuses widely in the working space; while when mining the lower coal stratum, it mainly concentrates at the bottom of the working face. Based on these analyses, on-site treatments were carried out using mixtures with different concentrations of sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate. In addition, different combinations of catalysts as well as type A and type B wetting agents were also tested. Eventually, a neutral KXL-I absorbent was developed, and the process of preinjecting absorbent and spraying absorbent was designed. The results showed that the newly developed KXL-I absorbent has high hydrogen sulphide absorption ability and is suitable for use as an absorbent in Wudong Coal Mine; preinjecting and spraying the absorbent can effectively prevent hydrogen sulphide disasters in the +575 level #45 coal seam in Wudong Coal Mine with the optimal final concentration of 0.9% and the absorption rate of 87% at the shearer of 66.6% at the support. Overall, our study provides valuable information for the prevention and control of hydrogen sulphide disasters in coal mines.

Rock burst hazard is the main problem of hard rock deep tunnel under high ground stress conditions. The prevention logic of prevention and control of rock burst is proposed by combining local energy release rate index based on the brittle Hoek-Brown model. Stress releasing holes are adopted to lead some energy to release actively and eliminate burst potential of rock burst. Supporting opportunity and parameters were studied by contrasting the magnitude of released energy in FLAC3D numerical software, and then the prevention logic of rock burst is presented. Stress releasing holes relieve stress concentration of the working face, transfer the stress to the deep and reduce the risk of rock burst near the working face. At last, the prevention and control of rock burst for sinping II Hydropower tunnel was analyzed, the results are in good agreement with the actual situations. The proposed method could benefit other deep tunnel projects which have brittle failure.

Water inrush from coal seam floors is one major geological obstacle hindering safe and efficient production activities in mines. Determining the source of water inrush can facilitate its prediction and guide decisions regarding measures for prevention and control. The process of identifying the location of hidden hydraulic contact points in different confined aquifers forms the basis of hydrogeological explorations. It is also the basis for categorizing mine areas prone to water inrush and making qualitative decisions regarding the prevention and control of water inrush. In this study, the positions of hidden hydraulic contact points between the Ordovician Fengfeng and Shangmajiagou formations in the basement of the Liyazhuang coal mine were determined using numerical simulations of the flow fields. First, each node of the finite element grid was considered as a water inrush point to determine the water level at other nodes. Subsequently, the error between measured and simulated water levels, determined based on the flow fields, was determined using the least squares method. The node with the minimum error was then considered as the hidden hydraulic contact point. The simulation results for the flow field indicate a distance of 5000 m between the hydraulic connection and the water inrush points located between the peak formation and the Majiagou aquifer in the Liyazhuang coal mine. Furthermore, the hydraulic relationship between them is poor. Observational data of water inrush from the floor of the No. 2 coal seam and the water level of the confined aquifer in the Liyazhuang coal mine, including the water quality test data of different Ordovician ash aquifers, show that the source of water inrush from the floor of the No. 2 coal seam is the aquifer of the Fengfeng Formation. This finding is consistent with the results of the numerical simulations of the flow field. The results demonstrate that, in mining areas subjected to high pressures, numerical simulations of the flow field can serve as an effective tool for determining the location of hidden hydraulic contact points.

The concentration of abutment pressure acting on coal seams induced by mining is a key factor to trigger rock burst. Understanding of abutment pressure or stress concentration is fundamental in preventing and controlling rock burst. The influence on abutment pressure fluctuation caused by the inhomogeneity of coal seams needs to be considered, but it is difficult to obtain by the present usual ways such as acoustic transmission, electromagnetic wave transmission, etc. In this article, the relationship between the amount of cuttings drilled in a coal seam and stress level was analyzed by considering the effect of drilling cutting expansion, and the drilling cutting test was carried out in Xinglongzhuang Coal Mine, Shandong Energy Ltd. It is found that the amount of cuttings drilled is positively related to the degree of stress concentration in both the plastic fracture zone and elastic zone. The amount of drilling cuttings is closely related to the roof weighting. In addition, the irregular fluctuation of drilling cuttings is an approximate map of distribution of stress concentration because of the non-uniformity of cracks and other defects in the coal seam. In order to meet the need of rock burst prevention by accurate pressure relief in high-stress zones, enough boreholes are needed.
