Construction of water injection seepage model for coal body and microscopic dominant influence law

  • 摘要: 煤层注水技术是目前矿井除尘的主要技术手段之一,起到润湿煤体、源头减尘的作用. 但随着开采深度的增加,煤体孔孔隙率相对较低,极大影响煤层注水的润湿效果. 因此,为了提高煤层注水的效果,结合煤体固有属性、孔隙尺度等影响因素,首先,引入连通孔隙率,建立了包含孔喉、等效孔径、有效孔隙率、毛细管束、迂曲度、流动路径在内的渗流模型;其次,采用高精度射线显微镜(μ-CT)对内蒙古煤矿、同富新煤矿、梅花井煤矿、大黄山煤矿以及磁窖沟煤矿5个煤矿的不同变质程度煤进行扫描,三维重建可视化煤体微观有效孔隙结构,运用分形理论,提取煤体有效连通孔隙结构参数进行计算;再次,通过实验对5个煤矿不同变质程度的煤进行渗透率实测;最后,引入“敏感度”来表征每种影响因素对渗流量的影响程度,运用Morris筛选法,将数值分析法与渗流模型相耦合,定量筛选了煤体坚固性系数、迂曲度分形维数、有效孔隙率、体积分形维数、孔喉半径等主控因素,并分析了各主控因素对注水能力的影响规律. 本研究建立了一个综合煤体坚固性系数、迂曲度分形维数、有效孔隙率、体积分形维数和孔喉半径的渗流模型. 分析表明,影响注水能力的主控因素依次为煤体坚固性系数、迂曲度分形维数、有效孔隙率、体积分形维数和孔喉半径. 注水能力与煤体坚固性系数呈正弦函数关系,随着有效孔隙率的增加,迂曲度分形维数和体积分形维数的减小,注水能力增强. 研究结果可为进一步完善煤层注水渗流理论、增强煤层注水润湿效果,防治矿井粉尘灾害提供理论依据.

     

    Abstract: Coal seam water injection technology plays a vital role in diminishing dust formation in mining operations by humidifying coal masses, thereby minimizing the dispersion of airborne particulate matter. This technique is crucial for managing dust in underground operations. As mining operations reach greater depths and face diverse geological challenges, understanding the impact of various factors on coal seam water injection becomes crucial. These factors include the inherent properties of coal bodies and the sizes of pores and fractures. Without this knowledge, predicting the extent of moisture penetration is unfeasible, hindering moisturization. Consequently, to enhance the effectiveness of coal seam water injection, this research investigates the primary factors influencing the process. Initially, we developed a percolation model, incorporating elements such as pore throats, equivalent pore diameter, effective porosity, capillary bundles, tortuosity, and flow paths. Furthermore, an online CT scanning loading percolation system was used to reconstruct three-dimensional visualizations of effective microfracture structures in coal bodies from five mines with varying metamorphic degrees: Inner Mongolia, Tongfuxin, Meihuajing, Dahuang Mountain, and Ciyaogou. The fractal theory was applied to extract parameters for calculating effective connected pores and fractures. In addition, experiments were conducted to measure coal permeability from these five mines, validating the model. Finally, the study introduced “sensitivity” to characterize the impact of various factors on seepage flow. By applying the Morris screening method, we combined numerical analysis with the percolation model to quantitatively screen main controlling factors such as coal body strength coefficient, tortuosity fractal dimension, effective porosity, volume fractal dimension, and pore throat radius. Their influence on water injection capacity was analyzed. The main conclusions were as follows: (1) A percolation model was established, incorporating factors such as coal body strength coefficient, tortuosity fractal dimension, effective porosity, volume fractal dimension, and pore throat radius. Through comparative calculations, this model measures the water injection capacity of coals across different regions such as Inner Mongolia, Tongfuxin, Meihuajing, Dahuang Mountain, and Ciyaogou. (2) The main factors affecting coal seam water injection capacity, ranked from most to least significant, include the coal body strength coefficient, tortuosity fractal dimension, effective porosity, volume fractal dimension, and pore throat radius. The coal body strength coefficient demonstrated the highest sensitivity at 16.765, whereas the pore throat radius had the lowest sensitivity at 0.00117. (3) The study thoroughly evaluated how these key factors affect water injection capacity. The relationship between water injection capacity and strength coefficient follows a sinusoidal function curve distribution. Water injection capacity increases with effective porosity and decreases with higher tortuosity fractal dimension and volume fractal dimensions. The research results provide a solid theoretical basis for further improving coal seam water injection percolation theory, enhancing wetting effects, and preventing mine dust.
