Abstract

Abstract:

To address the issue of natural coal ignition in goaf under normal fault geological structures, the oxygen consumption rate and heat release intensity of coal samples were measured using a temperature-programmed oxidation device. Based on a porous media model of the goaf and the gas component transport equation, a numerical model for CO₂ injection via side pressure into the goaf influenced by normal faults was established. The numerical model was used to simulate the mechanism by which the variation in the distance between the working face and the fault affects the width of spontaneous combustion oxidation band in the goaf, and analyze gas migration characteristics under different CO₂ injection locations and flow rates. The results indicate that as the distance between the working face and the fault increases, the width of the oxidation band initially increases and then decreases, reaching a maximum width at 70 m from the fault. With the increase of CO₂ injection depth, the oxidation band width initially decreases and then increases again, reaching a minimum width when the CO₂ injection position is 40 m from the working face. Furthermore, with the increase of CO₂ injection volume, the width of the oxidation band width decreases following a negative exponential trend. When the CO₂ injection rate is 1000m³/h and CO₂ volume fraction at the working face is below 0.4% for safety, width of the oxidation band reaches its minimum.

Key words: goaf, normal fault, CO₂ fire prevention, numerical simulation, coal spontaneous combustion, oxidation band width
