Spontaneous coal combustion is one of the most common disasters in coal mine production. In order to explore the mechanism of coal spontaneous combustion more deeply, coal samples from the Yangdong wellfield of Jizhong Energy were selected for oxidative heat energy analysis experiments. A temperature-programmed experiment was selected to study the changes in characteristic parameters during the low-temperature oxidation of coal under different air supply conditions. TG-DSC experiments were conducted to study the characteristic temperature changes and thermodynamic characteristics of coal combustion processes at different heating rates. The study results show that the coal is most easily oxidised in the low-temperature oxidation stage when the air supply is 120 ml/min. The oxygen consumption rate, CO generation rate, and maximum and minimum heat release intensity are all greater at this airflow than under other conditions. The process of spontaneous combustion of coal has six characteristic temperature points and is divided into five stages. The characteristic temperature of the coal sample increased with the increase of the heating rate, and the TG/DTG curve showed a hysteresis phenomenon. DSC temperature curve shifts toward the high temperature with the increase of the heating rate, and the exothermic region is expanded. Isokinetic analysis (F-W-O and V-W) and Coats-Redfern model for calculating thermodynamic parameters. The activation energy of the samples decreased with the increase of the heating rate in the range of 2∼20°C·min−1 and showed a decreasing trend with the increase of the conversion rate.

In order to get the appropriate nozzle parameters, numerical simulation and field tests are used to investigate the influence of high-pressure water jet nozzle parameters on the effect of hydraulic slotting. A nozzle model is created by using FLUENT software. For different nozzle contraction angles, outlet diameters, and straight column section lengths, the distribution rules of the velocity of the water jet and dynamic pressure on the central and vertical axes are obtained, and the parameters for the best nozzle effect are determined. The relationship between the nozzle contraction angle gradient, the inlet water pressure, and the nozzle outlet water velocity is discovered. A mathematical model of the nozzle outlet water velocity of the water jet is established. The depth, width, and volume of the hole generated by the nozzle impact are employed as indications for inquiry, and field measurements are used to derive the results of nozzle geometry parameter optimization. The field tests validate the numerical simulation conclusions, and the results have theoretical and practical guidance for hydraulic slotting in coal mines and get the appropriate nozzle parameters specially.

In order to analysis the mechanism of coal bursting pressures of deep coal seams and take effective methods to identify, monitor, and control coal bursting pressure, this paper takes 21101 working face of No. 2 coal seam in Dongpang Coal Mine as an example. Risk identification is carried out for the hazardous and harmful factors of coal bursting pressure in coal seam 21101 in Dongpang Coal Mine, and each influencing factor is classified. The hierarchical structure model of the influencing factors of coal bursting pressure in coal seam protruding deep in Dongpang Coal Mine is established in combination with expert opinions, and the weight of each level index is calculated by MATLAB software. The results show that the 21101 working face of No. 2 coal seam in Dongpang Coal Mine has strong impact risk, and the main risk factors include geological structure, impact resistance of coal and rock, mining stress, inducing factors, and emphasis degree of impact risk. According to the results, the corresponding safety measures are put forward to prevent the damage caused by coal bursting pressure in advance and ensure the high quality and safe production in the mine. The qualitative and quantitative methods are used to make the evaluation process more reasonable and scientific. The method could effectively analyze the main factors affecting coal bursting pressure and put forward corresponding safety measures for the main risk factors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
