Abstract

Coal fires lead to substantial depletion of coal reserves and the emission of harmful gases, thereby causing severe ecological pollution. The magnetic method offers means to monitor alterations in the magnetic properties of coal seams and surrounding rocks after exposure to coal fires, aiding in identifying the extent of such fires. This study focuses on borehole core samples from the Hongliulin coal mine area in Yulin, Shaanxi Province, China. The samples from the six drill holes exhibited diverse lithologies and underwent high-temperature (25–800 °C) heat treatment and mass magnetic susceptibility testing in both air and nitrogen environments. The results indicate that the mass magnetic susceptibility of rocks follows a three-stage pattern during high-temperature heat treatment: minimal change up to 400 °C; at 400–600 °C, the pronounced increase in mass susceptibility is presumably attributed to the conversion of weakly magnetic minerals, such as siderite and pyrite, into strongly magnetic minerals, including magnetite, maghemite and pyrrhotite; and at 600–800 °C, the decrease in rock susceptibility observed at this stage may be due to the high-temperature oxidation of magnetite and pyrrhotite to hematite. Moreover, the mass magnetic susceptibility of the samples treated in a nitrogen environment was greater than that of the samples treated in air, which was attributed to variations in the oxygen concentration influencing the formation of magnetite and hematite. In low oxygen environments, magnetite formation prevails over hematite, leading to higher mass magnetic susceptibility. Exploring the change mechanism of the magnetization rate of different rocks after high-temperature treatment under different heating environments can provide some guidance for magnetic detection.

高温环境下煤火区岩石磁化率响应机理
燃煤导致煤炭储量大量枯竭,有害气体大量排放,造成严重的生态污染。磁法提供了监测煤层和围岩在暴露于煤火后磁性质的变化的手段,有助于确定这种火灾的程度。本文以陕西省榆林市红柳林矿区的钻孔岩心样品为研究对象。来自6个钻孔的样品显示出不同的岩性,并在空气和氮气环境中进行了高温(25-800°C)热处理和质量磁化率测试。结果表明:在高温热处理过程中,岩石的质量磁化率呈现出三个阶段的变化规律:在400℃时变化最小;在400-600℃时,质量磁化率的显著增加可能是由于弱磁性矿物(如菱铁矿和黄铁矿)转变为强磁性矿物(包括磁铁矿、磁铁矿和磁黄铁矿);在600 ~ 800℃时,这一阶段岩石磁化率的下降可能是由于磁铁矿和磁黄铁矿高温氧化成赤铁矿所致。此外,在氮气环境中处理的样品的质量磁化率大于在空气中处理的样品,这是由于氧气浓度的变化影响了磁铁矿和赤铁矿的形成。在低氧环境中,磁铁矿的形成压倒赤铁矿,导致较高的质量磁化率。探讨不同加热环境下不同岩石经过高温处理后磁化率的变化机理,可以为磁探测提供一定的指导。
