Abstract:

In order to control the dust pollution problem of coal mine transportation roadway, the geometric model of Qipanjing coal mine transportation north roadway was established according to the ratio of 1∶1 by using numerical simulation software. Firstly, based on the standard k-ε turbulence model and particle tracking model, the airflow-dust coupling characteristics of the transportation roadway were studied, and a multi-section spray dust reduction technology for simultaneously controlling the transfer point and the transportation roadway was proposed according to its characteristics. Then, the effectiveness of the new dust reduction technology was verified by the combination of numerical simulation and experiment. Finally, the field application was carried out in the north roadway of the transport roadway in Qipanjing Coal Mine to verify the practicability and high dust reduction characteristics of the technology. The results show that the airflow distribution in the transportation roadway is affected by the running speed of the belt and the traction force to produce the induced airflow. The overall average airflow velocity is about 0.6 m/s, and the dust particles are dispersed by the airflow of the roadway. The dust with a particle size of less than 25 μm is suspended at the sidewalk, while the dust with a particle size of more than 25 μm is deposited on the surface of the belt and the floor of the roadway. The new dust reduction technology realizes the perfect coverage of the transfer point, and a supersonic fog curtain is formed in the main roadway to intercept and capture the dust that escaped from the transfer point. The test results show that the supersonic spray has a large range of fog curtain, strong wind resistance and significant continuous dust reduction effect. Through the field application of the north roadway of the transport roadway in Qipanjing Coal Mine, the highest dust reduction efficiency of total dust and respirable dust reached 80.12% and 83.15% respectively.
