Abstract

A substantial reduction in groundwater level, exacerbated by coal mining activities, is intensifying water scarcity in western China’s ecologically fragile coal mining areas. China’s national strategic goal of achieving a carbon peak and carbon neutrality has made eco-friendly mining that prioritizes the protection and efficient use of water resources essential. Based on the resource characteristics of mine water and heat hazards, an intensive coal–water–thermal collaborative co-mining paradigm for the duration of the mining process is proposed. An integrated system for the production, supply, and storage of mining companion resources is achieved through technologies such as roof water inrush prevention and control, hydrothermal quality improvement, and deep-injection geological storage. An active preventive and control system achieved by adjusting the mining technology and a passive system centered on multi-objective drainage and grouting treatment are suggested, in accordance with the original geological characteristics and dynamic process of water inrush. By implementing advanced multi-objective drainage, specifically designed to address the “skylight-type” water inrush mode in the Yulin mining area of Shaanxi Province, a substantial reduction of 50% in water drillings and inflow was achieved, leading to stabilized water conditions that effectively ensure subsequent safe coal mining. An integrated-energy complementary model that incorporates the clean production concept of heat utilization is also proposed. The findings indicate a potential saving of 8419 t of standard coal by using water and air heat as an alternative heating source for the Xiaojihan coalmine, resulting in an impressive energy conservation of 50.2% and a notable 24.2% reduction in carbon emissions. The ultra-deep sustained water injection of 100 m3·h−1 in a single well would not rupture the formation or cause water leakage, and 7.87 × 105 t of mine water could be effectively stored in the Liujiagou Formation, presenting a viable method for mine–water management in the Ordos Basin and providing insights for green and low-carbon mining.

基于生态的采矿:中国西部生态脆弱地区的煤-水-热协同范例
煤矿开采活动加剧了地下水位的大幅下降,加剧了中国西部生态脆弱的煤矿开采区的水资源短缺问题。中国的国家战略目标是实现碳峰值和碳中和,因此,优先保护和高效利用水资源的生态友好型采矿至关重要。根据矿井水和热害的资源特点,提出了在开采过程中的集约化煤-水-热协同共采模式。通过顶板涌水防治、水热质量改善、深部注水地质封存等技术,实现了矿井伴生资源的产、供、储一体化系统。根据原有地质特征和涌水动态过程,提出了通过调整开采技术实现的主动防治系统和以多目标排水注浆处理为核心的被动系统。针对陕西榆林矿区的 "天窗型 "涌水模式,采用先进的多目标排水技术,实现了钻孔涌水量大幅减少 50%,水情稳定,有效保证了后续的安全采煤。此外,还提出了结合热利用清洁生产理念的综合能源互补模式。研究结果表明,利用水热和风热作为小纪汗煤矿的替代热源,可节约 8419 吨标准煤,节能率高达 50.2%,碳排放量显著减少 24.2%。单井 100 m-h 的超深持续注水不会造成地层破裂或漏水,可在刘家沟地层中有效储存 7.87 × 10 t 矿井水,为鄂尔多斯盆地矿井水管理提供了可行方法,为绿色低碳采矿提供了启示。
