Analysis of the danger zone liable to spontaneous ignition around coal roadway at fully mechanized long-wall top-coal caving face

The intensity of heat output of coal, the rate of oxygen consumption and the influence function of coal size are tested by the big coal spontaneous combustion experiment unit. The independence of the coefficient of heat convection is studied. And based on the conservation principle of energy and the real conditions, such as coal temperature,air temperature, the geometry size of roadway, air flux, the oxygen concentration in the loose coal around the roadway, the threshold parameters resulting coal spontaneous combustion are put forward, and the index determining the danger zone liable to self ignite are evaluated. Finally, the method determining the danger zone liable to spontaneous ignition around coal roadway at fully mechanized long wall top coal caving face is put forward. Based on the determination method and real conditions in the roadway, the coal around roadway can be divided four zones.

Experimental simulation and numerical analysis of coal spontaneous combustion process at low temperature

The characteristic of coal spontaneous combustion includes oxidative property and exothermic capacity. It can really simulate the process of coal spontaneous combustion to use the large scale experimental unit loading coal 1 000 kg. According to the field change of gas concentration and coal temperature determined through experiment of coal self ignite at low temperature stage, and on the basis of hydromechanics and heat transfer theory, some parameters can be calculated at different low temperature stage, such as, oxygen consumption rate, heat liberation intensity. It offers a theoretic criterion for quantitatively analyzing characteristic of coal self ignite and forecasting coal spontaneous combustion. According to coal exothermic capability and its thermal storage surroundings, thermal equilibrium is applied to deduce the computational method of limit parameter of coal self ignite. It offers a quantitative theoretic criterion for coal self ignite forecasting and preventing. According to the measurement and test of spontaneous combustion of Haibei coal, some token parameter of Haibei coal spontaneous combustion is quantitatively analyzed, such as, spontaneous combustion period of coal, critical temperature, oxygen consumption rate, heat liberation intensity, and limit parameter of coal self ignite.

On the basis of heat transfer and chemical kinetics theory, both connections coal self ignite with oxygen concentration and range of oxidation zone with air leak intensity are analyzed, and calculating method is deduced to gain the lower limit of oxygen concentration and the range of oxidation zone. The change rule of correlative parameter is quantitatively researched between before nitrogen injection and after nitrogen injection in gob, such as oxygen concentration, oxidation zone width, etc. According to theoretical calculation, the relation position and flow of nitrogen injection with oxidation zone width is conformed, and computational formulas of the best flow and position of nitrogen injection are obtained. It offers a theoretic criterion for preventing and controlling float coal self ignite by nitrogen injection in gob.
