Gas control technology for coal and gas outburst mines based on new sealing materials

In order to solve the problem of gas overlimit in corner corners of coal and gas prominent mines, through the combination of air leakage mechanism in the goaf, near-field fissure expansion and rich area division, blocking material development and optimization, performance measurement of blocking materials and on-site test, we started to study the causes of gas concentration in corner corners, analysis of roof collapse and transparency in corners and performance test of blocking materials, and optimized the blocking materials by combining laboratory test and engineering test. Considering the thickness of the sealing film, the attenuation ratio of the sealing film thickness, the gelation time, and the gelation viscosity under different ratios, we designed a multi factor orthogonal experiment to optimize the optimal ratio suitable for the engineering site. Factors affecting blocking effectiveness, such as gel water retention and gel flame resistance, were also tested. The sealing scheme was implemented in the 2109 working face of a coal and gas outburst mine in Gansu, China. Through on-site monitoring of the changes in temperature, gas concentration, and air leakage at each monitoring point before and after the use of sealing materials, the analysis of the detection results shows that the temperature changes at each monitoring point after the use of sealing materials do not exceed 0.2°C; The change in oxygen concentration is less than 0.27 ​%; The gas concentration has decreased by more than 60 ​%, with a decrease of 71.32 ​% in the gas concentration in the upper corner. The air leakage has decreased by more than 53 ​%, and the proportion of decrease in air leakage at the upper corner is as high as 56.83 ​%. This air leakage control technology has remarkable blocking effect, meets the requirements of corner near-field fissure blocking material, and is easy to prepare, inexpensive, non-toxic, tasteless and green, providing a successful experience for the treatment of similar coal and gas outburst mines that can be referenced.
