According to the previous practical experience, the feasibility of the implementation of raw gangue filling mining technology in the coal-pressed area was analyzed. Through the filling gangue compaction test, the deformation under different loading stages was obtained. Further, a reasonable prediction of the deformation beyond the experimental limited loading load was made based on the experimental results. Through the deformation source analysis of the whole process of gangue filling, the key factors for controlling deformation before, during, and after filling were determined. Additionally, the proportion of deformation during different stages was quantified. Considering the protection of surface buildings, mining fullness of the working face and mining technology, the production parameters of 1209 and 1210 filling working faces were preliminarily determined. Through numerical simulation, the rationality of mining scheme was verified. Based on the practice of 1209 working face and the key factors to control the deformation of gangue filling, the mining system and process in 1210 working face were optimized. According to the measured surface rock movement, raw gangue filling mining technology can meet the requirements of surface building protection level. Especially, this paper provides a method to quantitatively calculate the equivalent mining height (EMH) of raw gangue filling and its mining deformation, which has reference significance for old mining areas.展开更多

Both similarity experiment and numerical simulation method have certain restrictions and are quite different from the actual situation on site. In order to study the dust sedimentation regularity of coal mine in large mining height, “filter membrane method” is adopted in this paper, i.e., to dry and weigh the filter membrane before and after sampling, collect the dust of respirable zone on mining face and calculate the dust concentration based on a main airway of 100 m. The result shows that: A large amount of dust will be produced during coal mining, wherein the maximum dust concentration from 6 m upstream to 100 m downstream of coal cutter is 121 mg/m3</sup>, while the minimum dust concentration is 61 mg/m3</sup>;The dust concentration in return airway is reduced with the distance increases, while the dust concentration at the entrance is 91 mg/m3</sup>;A large amount of dust may fall from roof during section advancing and improves the dust concentration of hydraulic support in walking area obviously;The dust granularity of mining face and return airway is 0 - 100 μm, but the amount of respirable dust is higher than 80%, the larger the dust particle size, the higher the dust concentration. Besides, dust in small particle size can be suspended in air flow for longer, but that in large particle size may subside under the action of gravity;To reduce dust exposure, the mining position shall be located in the windward direction of advancing or coal cutter. This research can provide guidance for taking dust prevention measures of working face in large mining height.展开更多
