Roadway Deformation

B1 coal seam located at -550m level in Liangbei Coal Mine is a typical "three-soft" seam. The coal roadway with a depth of 610-750m lies under the critical softening depth of the roadway, and its support difficulty coefficient is 1.5-2.0. The coal has poor air permeability, high gas content and high gas pressure, so danger degree of the gas outburst is relatively strong. The coal seam was destroyed in a disastrous state by more than 100 boreholes for gas outburst prevention during the excavation. This results in the difficulty in the roadway support. Engineering geological characteristics of the coal roadway at 11 mining area are introduced. Based on the engineering geo-mechanics method, the reasons of deformation and failure of the coal roadway are analyzed. In view of problems in excavation and support, as well as the type of the coal roadway deformation mechanism, the borehole parameters are optimized for the gas outburst prevention, and bolt-net-cable coupling support with high convex steel-belt is used to control the coal roadway stability at 11 mining area. Practice shows that the effect is fine.

Gas Control

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 compressive strength of coal in Yanlong mine area of China is less than 3 MPa. Basically, it is powdery. The roof and floor rocks are mudstone. Therefore, this coal seam is a typical ?three soft? coal seam. Anchor and cable cannot be used due to low anchoring force. This paper describes how to support this type of soft coal roadway. The deformation characteristics of soft coal roadway were investigated. Results show the conventional U-shaped steel support is not subjected to uniform load, which bearing capacity can be improved by structural compensation, such as addition of horizontal and vertical beams made of U-shaped steel. In addition, by drilling pressure-relief holes in the ribs of a soft coal roadway, the stress distribution of surround rock in the roadway can be improved, which can transfer the high stress in the surrounding rock to deeper parts and reduce the pressure on the artificial support. A support method is to combine the strengthened U-shaped steel support with pressure-relieving drill holes, providing an economic and efficient way to support the very soft coal roadways.

With mining technology and mechanization degree being improving, fully mechanized caving mining technology (FCM) has become a main method for thick coal seam extraction in China. However, roof-coal caving characteristics in turn restrict its recovery efficiency, especially for the coal seam with complicated structure (CCS), that is, the coal seam comprises hard or soft coal and gangue. In order to explore the key factors influencing the roof-coal caving and recovery characteristics, related research work has been conducted as follows: firstly, a mechanical model of CCS has been established, which indicates the strength of the coal and gangue will directly affect the roof-coal recovery. Meanwhile, based on the geological settings of Qinyuan coal mine, numerical simulation on roof-coal caving law under different thicknesses of hard or soft coal and gangue has been performed using UDEC software. The results show that the maximum principal stress will increase with the increase of mining depth, making the roof-coal to break easily. Furthermore, the range of the plastic zone of the top coal and the damage degree of the top coal increase with the increase of mining depth. Physical modeling results show that when an extraction-caving ratio is 1, the number of times the coal arch forms is 0.43 at every caving, up to a maximum of 3; the number of times coal arch forms with an extraction-caving ratio of 2 is 4.65 times larger than that with an extraction-caving ratio of 1. The probability of coal arch formation with an extraction-caving ratio of 3 is minimal, about 0.4, which is due to that the arch span is large and the curvature is small, so it is difficult to form a stable arch structure. According to the mechanical characteristics of roof-coal in Qinyuan coal mine, deep-hole blasting technique has been used to reduce the fragments of roof-coal crushed. The results show that this technique can effectively improve the recovery of roof-coal.

At the present time, it is considered to be of major significance to study the gas emission law and stability controls of coal bodies in deeply buried high-gas coal seams. For this reason, in view of the specific problems of gas emissions caused by unstable rib spalling in coal mine walls, comprehensive research methods were adopted in this study, in order to conduct an in-depth examination of micropore structure parameters, gas desorption, diffusion laws, and coal stability levels. The results showed that the development degree of the pores above the micropores, as well as the small pores in soft coal seams, was better than those observed in hard coal seams. In addition, the gas outburst phenomenon was found to have more easily formed in the soft coal seams. The coal body of the No. 6 coal seam in the Xieqiao Coal Mine not only provided the conditions for gas adsorption but also provided dominant channels for gas diffusion and migration. The abnormal gas emissions of the No. 6 coal seam were jointly caused by the relatively developed pores above the small holes in the coal body, rib spalling of coal mine walls, and so on. The research results also revealed the evolution law of mechanical characteristics of the No. 6 coal seam under different water content conditions. It was found that the strength levels of the No. 6 coal seam first increased and then decreased with the increase in water content, and the water content level at the maximum strength of the coal seam was determined to be 7.09%. This study put forward a method which combined the water injection technology of long-term static pressure water injections in deep coal mining holes and real-time dynamic pressure water injections in shallower holes. Field experiments were successfully carried out.

Soft Coal Seam

The efficiency of gas extraction from the soft coal seam with ultralow permeability is low. Gas extraction with large-diameter borehole is proposed to deplete gas content for preventing gas outburst disaster in this study. The fractures around the large borehole will enhance the permeability in the damage area to promote gas extraction. We established a damage-stress-seepage coupling model for large-diameter borehole gas extraction in soft coal seam. This mathematical model contains governing equations of gases sorption and transport, coal deformation, and damage, reflecting the coupling responses between gas and coal seam. The model is solved by the finite element method to simulate the gas drainage large-diameter borehole through roadway. Distributions of elastic modulus, damage area, and maximum principal stress in soft coal seam with different borehole diameters including 94 mm, 133 mm, 200 mm, and 300 mm are analyzed. The gas pressure, gas content, and effective extraction area in soft coal seam are discussed. Results show that the shear failure zone appears around the large-diameter borehole, and its permeability rises sharply. This opens up the gas transport channel and is conducive to the rapid extraction. It is confirmed that gas extraction using large-diameter borehole (300 mm) can greatly improve the efficiency of the gas preextraction in soft coal seam by increasing gas extraction rate. These provide a foundation for guiding the operation of gas extraction with large borehole from the soft coal seam in the field.
