Research on stress release for the gob-side roadway using the roof-cutting technology with a chainsaw arm.

ABSTRACT: The narrow pillar mining method is widely adopted for working faces in coal mines. However, in cases of an overlying hard roof, a suspended triangle roof plate or a cantilever will be formed near the goaf. At this point, the coal pillar extrusion and serious deformation will occur in the gob-side roadway. In order to mitigate the problem, the roof-cutting technology with a chainsaw arm and its equipment have been developed. In this paper, based on the analysis of deformation and failure characteristics of 2312 roadway, which is close to the goaf of 2311 working face in Tashan Coal, the roof-cutting technology with a chainsaw arm was chosen to be applied in 2311 roadway. Then, the roof-cutting process and the load acting on the coal pillar were discussed and analysed. A numerical model was established to analyse the stress releasing effects after roof cutting. Moreover, the roof-cutting height and the support parameters of the roadway were optimized through numerical analysis and the results manifested that the roof cutting was the most effective when the roof-cutting height was 6.4 m. After roof cutting, the vertical stresses within the coal pillars were lowered by about 25.0%. Finally, the roof-cutting experiment was carried out in the 2311 roadway in Tashan Coal Mine. The on-site roof-cutting depth was 6.4 m and the roof-cutting width was 42 mm guided by the numerical analysis. To verify the stress-relieving effects, the borehole stress meters were applied to monitor the peak advancing stresses of narrow pillars at various depths. The measured results indicated that the peak advancing stresses decreased by 22.8% on average, and therefore, roof cutting and stress releasing effects were achieved.

Project description:In order to solve the problem of coal dust pollution at the transfer point, a three-dimensional numerical model of wind flow-coal dust at the loading point of underground rubber run was established by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) discrete particle model and finite element method and k-ε turbulence model, and the coal dust diffusion pollution phenomenon caused by the coal flow transfer under the intersection of wind flow in the cross tunnel was studied. Based on the simulation results of wind flow velocity contour, pressure contour and isochronous flow vector distribution, the influence mechanism of wind flow and coal dust characteristics on the distribution of wind flow and coal dust diffusion in the roadway is analysed, and a dust control and reduction system and treatment scheme with new pneumatic screw spray technology as the core is proposed to suppress coal dust pollution at the reloading point. The results of the study show that the wind flow distribution is mainly influenced by the intersection of tape traction and cross-roadway wind flow, showing a complex multi-layer distribution along the roadway and in the normal direction; the diffusion of coal dust of different particle sizes is influenced by the roadway wind flow, and coal dust with particle sizes in the range of 10μm~20μm is more easily diffused, and the dust with particle sizes in the range of 20μm~45μm is mainly collected and suspended near the vortex wind flow at the cross-roadway. The coal dust in the range of 20 μm~45 μm is more likely to gather in the vortex; the treatment system effectively controls the coal dust inside the dust cover, and the spiral-shaped transported droplet particle group formed by the pneumatic spiral spray combines with it efficiently, which verifies the dust control and reduction effect of the pneumatic spiral spray system at the transfer point, and the dust removal efficiency reaches 89.35%~93.06%, which provides relevant theoretical support for the treatment of dust pollution at the coal transfer point in underground coal mines It provides the theoretical support and means to control dust pollution at underground coal transfer points.
