Analysis on AE characteristic and its confining pressure effect of outburst coal containing gas

Briquette samples made of outburst coal are taken as study objects to study AE characteristic and its confining pressure effect by using self-developed equipment, Shimazu servo test machine and AE monitor system, and the characteristic of AE parameters are analyzed, too. The results show that in the process of outburst coal containing gas triaxial compression, there is no serious dense or sparse area of AE events, but three relative dense appear in compression phase, middle area of linear elastic stage and near peaking phase area so that the characteristic of AE events look like three peaks. But the amplitude of AE events is small and the good consistency between energy change and amplitude change is showed. Microstructure change caused by external stress field change, fracture and fragmentation of particle of samples, movement besides particle of samples and microstructure change caused by dissipation of gas are the sources of AE events. The number of AE events is reduced as the confining pressure is increased, but the influence on total number of AE events caused by confining pressure show nonlinear, expressed by quadratic function. The number of larger amplitude of AE events show decreasing tendency as the confining pressure is increased, the relation between numbers of AE events whose amplitude is more than certain value and confining pressure is expressed by quadratic function.

Key Layer and Stress Dike Mechanism of Coal and Gas Outbursts

The outburst coal mass is a geologic body which had objectively existed before outbursts occurred.The authors think the occurrence and development of coal and gas outbursts are controlled by comprehensive factors according to a host of facts of outbursts in their researches,and all the factors belong to the system of "rock coal gas rock".Therefore the authors put forward a completely hypothesis,i.e.key layer and stress dike mechanism of coal and gas outbursts.This hypothesis emphasizes that the outbursts are the result of comprehensive action by coalbed gas,abutment stress and physical and mechanical properties of coal.Of special interest is emphasizing the geologic backgroud and conditions of outbursts to a great extent.Any phenomenon of outbursts which a person could observe could be qualitatively explained with the hypothesis so that the hypothesis can serve the study of geophysical field of outbursts perfectly.     

Pressure Sweep Adsorption Processes for the Concentration of Methane from Coal-bed Gas Extracted

The coal-bed gas was usually extracted from mine in order to avoid coal gas outburst.The Methane(CH4),a main component in coal-bed gas,is a kind of excellent gas fuel and raw material for chemical industry.China is very rich in the resource of coal bed gas,however,most of the coal bed gas extracted from mine is wasted because of the too low concentration of methane. Pressure sweep adsorption(PSA) technique is noticeable among the methods for the concentration of methane from coal-bed gas.However,there are a few studies about this field.Studies on the pressure sweep adsorption(PSA) process for the separation of CH4/N2 using actived carbon as adsorbent are summarized.The thermodynamic relationships and kinetic processes and the influence of the operate parameters on the concentration of methane are investigated.These results have a direct application in coal-bed gas.Some suggestions for the problems need to be solved in PSA process for the separation of methane are also proposed.

For the prediction of coal and gas outburst intensity, Incorporate Genetic Algorithm Based Back Propagation Neural Network(IGABP) is proposed to solve the limitations in the traditional GABP such as time consuming, optimal stop condition of GA pretreatment indeterminacy, independency and complex task of great importance etc. IGABP addresses some improvements in adaptive crossover and mutation probability to promote GA performance. And with the introduction of BP operator in the evolution of GA operations, the standard GA optimization is from random search to self guiding search and the convergence rate of GA is upgraded, as well as the determination ability of exact solution. With a simulation as a case study, it is found that the minimum error and standard error with IGABP are 0.012 and 0.227, respectively, compared with -0.126 and 1.529 by traditional GABP.

It is very important to mine safe exploitation, gas drawing and predict of coal and gas outburst that adsorption characteristics of coal to gas in geophysical field are studied. Adsorption and desorption characteristics of coal to gas in geophysical field have been reviewed in detail, then it is obtained that adsorption characteristics of coal to gas in electromagnetic field should be further studied . Adsorption and desorption characteristics of coal to methane in alternating electric field (AEF) have been studied mainly. Adsorption characteristics of three coal samples in AEF have been studied by means of Volume Method. The result shows that chemical properties and matter constituent of coal surface are no changed , adsorption and desorption of the coal samples in AEF well accord with Langmuir equation and two constants empirical formula, and because coal potential energy is increased and coal temperature is raised caused by Joule heat effect , adsorption ability of coal is decreased, and the desorption process is slowed down in AEF.

Damage Analysis on Coal and Rocks and the Method of the Checking Damage by the Deviator Stress

The characteristic of the original damage and the breaking of the coal and rocks under the loading has been discussed by a lot of microscopic structure analysis and by whole stress strain testing on the coal and rocks. The non homogeneity causes the stress locating in a small spot. It is the essential cause of the damage developing and causing the structure breaking of the coal rocks. The failure of brittle fracturing, rubbing later on and granulating should be a major pattern in the outburst of coal and gas. The method of the examining damage by the deviator stress, is proposed. It can be used to analyse the characteristic of the coal and rocks.     

Experimental analysis of matrix shrinkage’s influence on mechanical permeability of gas filled coal

Based on the coal seam of Zhao zhuang coal mine and Si he coal mine belong to Jin cheng anthracite Mining Group in Shanxi province, by using the self developed three axial servo controlled seepage equipment for hot fluid solid coupling of coal containing methane, parallel experiments for permeability of helium and methane under different gas pressures are carried out to quantitatively study the influence of Klinkenberg effects on the permeability of coal. Meanwhile, the problem of permeability decreasing caused by fluid pressure decreasing and gas desorption is eliminated by controlling the effective stress. The results show thatthe Klinkenberg effect is obvious under low gas pressure. With the increase of gas pressure, the permeability of coal decreases at first and then increases. The inflection points of gas pressure for Klinkenberg effect are about 0.9 MPa both for coal samples in Zhao zhuang coal mine and Si he coal mine. When the effective stress is constant, with the increase of gas pressure, the permeability increment caused by Klinkenberg effect decreases, while permeability increment caused by coal matrix shrinkage increases. Coal matrix shrinkage has a close relationship with the mechanical properties of coal rock mass. For the coal sample with a poor mechanical property, coal matrix shrinkage is more obvious.     

Mechanism and application of protection againstoutburst for abrasive water jet slotting technology

Aiming at the status quote of long time for methane extraction and slow speed for laneway excavating in coal seams of Liziya south 2JHJ well, abrasive water jet slotting technology is adopted to improve the methane desorption and increase excavating speed in semi-coal laneway. Through analyzing damage model and protection against outburst mechanism, the process of Coal-Rock Mass being cut and fractured is studied. Through lab test on abrasive water jet cutting coal-bed gangue, a new abrasive water jet cutting device is successfully designed and made and all parameters are determined. It is showed that abrasive water jet can cut through a coal-bed gangue with thickness 60~80 mm and uniaxial compressive strength 62 MPa. After cutting coal seams by abrasive water jet, the surface area for methane is enlarged and then coal seams pressure fell rapidly. Therefore the permeability and desorption of coal seams are greatly increased. The results are as follows: the average productivity of single-hole was enhanced by 2.83 times.     

Clogging mechanical model and its application in gas extraction borehole

A clogging segment mechanical model is established on gas extraction horizontal borehole. Based on the air pressure extremes pmax of the construction site, we solve the corresponding critical clogging length L0 and find clogging will occur when L> L0. With the clogging segment mechanical model, we analyze the calculation method of the retreat drilling rod resistance in borehole. The influence rule of clogging length and air supplying system pressure on retreat drilling rod resistance is analyzed. Analysis results show that the main reason for difficult drilling clogging and retreat drilling rod is the higher pressure in borehole clogging segment. The retreat drilling rod resistance is especially sensitive to the change of air supplying system; therefore, the effective method of reducing the retreat drilling rod resistance is reducing the air supplying system pressure in borehole. The drilling construction status in Jiulishan coal mine is analyzed by using the clogging segment mechanical model, and three technical measures are put forward, including increasing slagging space, reducing slagging resistance and increasing drilling rod strength. When the improving measures are adopted, the pipe-sticking phenomena decreases, the drilling rod broken phenomenon are averted and the drilling efficiency increases by 17%.     

Analysis and numerical simulation of fluid-structure coupling of gas drainage from boreholes

Gas drainage from boreholes is main method of utilization and management of Chinese coal seam gas. As the exploitation depth increases, stress field and other factors on the impact of gas seepage are increasingly apparent. Based on the basis of a series of assumptions of coal seam gas, porosity and permeability equations are described by considering stress, coal seam gas pressure change on the coal produced by deformation of the skeleton. The fluid-structure coupling equations are derived by using the basic theorem of porous media flow and the fluid structure coupling theory. The gas seepage field is simulated and analyzed by using multi-physics coupling analysis software. The effect of gas pressure distribution, different burial depths and different drilling parameters (drainage negative pressure, drilling radius) on gas seepage field is obtained. Analysis of simulation results can provide theoretical guidance for on-site gas drainage.     

Analysis on rock cross-cut coal uncovering using high pressure water jet slotting in close distance seam group

Safe production and procedures at the driving face are restricted in mines of Guizhou province by the long periods required for rock cross-cut coal uncovering in high gas coal seam group. A new method is proposed to solve this problem using high pressure water jet slotting in penetration boreholes. This is proposed to increase the gas desorption rate and reduce drilling hole, which will shorten the cycle of rock cross-cut coal uncovering. Numerical simulation is used to compare the pressure relief effects of different slotting methods in penetration boreholes. The results show that the pressure relief effect of slotting all coal seams is more ideal. Field application indicates that high pressure water jet slotting has good effect of the pressure relief in coal seam group. The drilling number is reduced by 30, the drilling length is shortened by 610 m and the standard time of gas pre-pumping decreases by 39 days.     

The influence of initial internal structure of coal sample on gas flow characteristic

Three kinds of coal samples with different components are chosen as study objects.Density calculation and SEM are adopted to study their internal structures,and a self made triaxial gas seepage instrument is used to study their internal gas flow characteristics.The results show that internal structures of coal samples made of different particle size coal powders under identical external conditions are various,and nonlinearity is presented on the influence caused by fabric.Gas flow characteristic is complex in complete stress strain process,generally it firstly increases and then decreases,initial gas flow velocity is lower than the one after the failure of coal sample,and obvious hysteretic nature of gas flow characteristic is showed.The influence of gas flow characteristic caused by initial internal structure of coal sample is nonlinear and the stress sensitivity is high on the influence of gas flow characteristic caused by initial internal structure.The more complex the initial internal structure of the coal sample is,the lower the axial tress sensitivity is,and the higher the confining pressure sensitivity is.
