Abstract:

Aiming at the problem of false alarm of electrochemical CO sensor in coal mines due to interference gas produced by physicochemical reaction of filling slurry in goaf, based on the oxidation period, gas production characteristics, X-ray diffraction (XRD) of the composition after reaction and the cross interference of filling gas to electrochemical CO sensor in coal mines, etc., the gas production characteristics of filling grout composed of coal gangue, fly ash, Portland cement and mine water at the ratio of 65.5∶4.5∶10∶20 were studied, and the influence characteristics of filling gas on electrochemical CO sensor for mining were explored. The results show that O2 and CO2 are consumed, and H2, CO and CH4 are produced in the process of physicochemical reaction. Among them, the concentration changes of O2 and CO is related to the oxidation of coal gangue, the concentration change of CH4 is related to the desorption of methane in coal gangue, the reaction of CaO and CO2 will lead to the reduction of CO2 concentration, and the reaction of Al powder in fly ash in an alkaline environment will produce H2, and H2 is the main factor causing the false alarm of electrochemical CO sensor in coal mines. It also has positive cross interference to the detection results of electrochemical CO sensors used in coal mines.

Key words: filling material, gas production characteristics, electrochemical CO sensor, false alarm, interference factor
