Using numerical simulation for the prediction of mine dewatering from a karst water system underlying the coal seam in the Yuxian Basin,Northern China

Water inrush from a karst aquifer threatens mine safety in North China because of the special hydrogeological conditions. This paper systematically analyzes the regional hydrogeological conditions of the Cambrian–Ordovician limestone karst aquifer in the Yuxian Basin. Conceptual and mathematical models of karst water flow system are established, and the karst water flow system is simulated by the finite-difference method. The numerical model is checked using hydraulic head from karst water observation holes, and the sensitivity of hydrogeological parameters is analyzed. Further, the risk of water inrush from the karst aquifer underlying the coal seam in the second mining area of the Beiyangzhuang Mine in the basin is evaluated by the water inrush coefficient method. Based on the critical hydraulic head for mining safety, the rate of mine dewatering is simulated for the three stages of the mining plan with the numerical model. The results show that the risk of water inrush in the second mining area is high. The rate of dewatering in the three stages without grouting is 1300, 1860, and 2050 m³/h, respectively, and with local grouting is 1020, 1550, and 1700 m³/h, respectively. Dewatering combined with grouting not only ensures coal mine safety, but also significantly reduces the rate of dewatering. The prediction method of mine dewatering has practical significance in engineering applications.     

Characteristic of water chemistry and hydrodynamics of deep karst and its influence on deep coal mining

The mining depth of main coal mines could reach around 600 m in eastern North China, and extends to the dept with speed of around 12 m/a. As the basement of eastern North China-type coal mine, the Ordovician karst aquifer is the main water source that influences the carboniferous coal seam mining. As the deep karst water has large buried depth and high water pressure (8–12 MPa), with10–30 m space between high pressure aquifer and coal seam, the geological area of deep coal occurrence is often forbidden for mining. Environmental damage, to a greater or lesser degree, is caused by coal mining. On the basis of analyzing the hydrogeological conditions of mining areas, this paper introduces the hydrogeological survey work of ultra-high confined karst water deep in the coal seam floor within researched region for preventing and controlling water disaster of the mine. After researching into the hydrogeological investigation data in the researched region, we explored the hydrodynamic and water chemical characteristics of deep karst water by using pumping test, dynamic observation, and dewatering test. Finally, this study suggests that the hydraulic pressure of deep mining could be mined, on the circumstances that reasonable and effective of water prevention measures are taken based on a detailed survey on water abundance of deep karst.     

淮北矿区五沟煤矿太原组上段灰岩岩溶裂隙水富水性及径流特征

五沟煤矿太原组上段灰岩岩溶裂隙水是矿井主采煤层（10煤）的主要充水含水层。通过对矿区水文地质边界条件、地面抽水试验和井下放水试验的分析,认为矿区水文地质边界受制于周边的较大型隔阻水断层,从而形成了较封闭的地下水系统;太原组上段灰岩含水层的富水性在平面上具有不均一性,在垂向具有随着深度的增加,岩溶发育有减弱的趋势,基本上属弱富水含水层,仅在局部构造发育带为中等富水含水层。利用利用surfer软件,绘制出矿区太原组灰岩水位等值线图;从图上可以看出,矿区目前太原组含水层水位标高总体呈北高南低,中间高两边低的态势,并在井田西南部形成以水5孔及J5-1孔为中心的低水位区。该研究对目前矿井防治水工作具有重要的指导意义。     

基于井下放水试验的矿井疏降量预测评价

井下放水试验作为特殊的水文地质试验,克服了地面抽水试验存在的不利条件,有着十分重要的实践和理论意义。为了探查双柳煤矿太原组灰岩含水层的水文地质条件,通过两次井下放水试验取得的相关水文地质参数,控制了太灰含水层的动态流场。基于井下放水试验取得的水文地质条件信息,利用Visual MODFLOW三维数值模拟软件,建立放水试验期间反映模拟区太灰地下水分布、储存及其时空变化规律的参数模型;根据拟定的预测方案,对太灰含水层的疏降涌水量进行预测。通过本次工作,对双柳井田下一阶段进行疏干降压,减少太灰含水层对上组煤（4#煤层）开采的威胁,同时为下组煤（8＋9#煤）开采提供疏降方式和水文地质依据。     

Mechanism of water inrush driven by grouting and control measures—a case study of Chensilou mine,China

Water inrush into coal mines from aquifers underlying coal seams often causes serious casualties and economic losses. The key to preventing the disaster is to discover a water inrush mechanism suitable for specific geological and hydrogeological conditions and apply reasonable control measures. A case of the Chensilou mine is studied in this paper. Complex geological and hydrogeological conditions, such as 12 aquifers in the floor and small distance between coal seam and aquifer, make the mining face in the synclinal basin have a great risk of water inrush. In addition, as an important way to prevent the disaster, grouting will aggravate the risk of water inrush from the floor. The slurry will drive groundwater in the limestone aquifers L₈, even L₇ and L₆ along the horizontal (fracture zone in L₁₁~L₈) and vertical (Fs1 ~Fd1) water flow channel into the mining face and synclinal basin. A new water inrush mechanism driven by grouting is formed. In order to prevent this disaster, based on statistical law of hole deviation, the relative error of vertical depth and the angle between the borehole and the rock formation are obtained. Finally, an improved grouting method is proposed, which is useful to ensure the safe production of coal mine and reduce the cost of grouting.

Groundwater flow rate and contaminant migration in fissure-karstic aquifer of Opole Triassic system southwest Poland

 This paper presents hydrogeological problems occurring during municipal water exploitation and mine dewatering. These activities result in groundwater quantity and quality changes in the fissure-karstic aquifer. Increase of nitrate concentration up to 12 mg NNO₃/l due to intensive fertilizer use, and high tritium concentration, show water system impact up to 100 m depth. Intensive water exploitation produces large cones of depression with over 40-m water-level depletion in the Opole region. Flow rates of major components and isotopes have been verified by chemical migration history. Some aspects of the protection policy of this type of aquifer are also discussed.

侏罗系宝塔山砂岩水文地质特征与解危开采研究——以新上海一号煤矿为例

西部矿区是我国重要的能源战略基地,侏罗纪煤田可采煤层多、资源储量丰富,中下组煤受“宝塔山砂岩”含水层严重威胁,但目前国内对该含水层研究较少、资料匮乏。以新上海一号煤矿“11·25 ”突水事故为例,采用延深排水钻孔、水文地质补充勘探、井下放水试验等手段,查明该含水层具有沉积结构复杂、富水性不均、静储量丰富、水头高、水压大、容易疏放等特点;通过安全隔水层厚度计算,说明“ 11·25”事故突水原因。SEM镜下显示砂岩为泥质胶结,块状结构,内生孔隙发育。以砂岩总厚度、砂地比、单位涌水量、渗透系数为主控因素,分析含水层富水性规律;预计正常情况下开采涌水量1 200.7 m3/h,最大涌水量1 860.84 m3/h,超出矿井排水能力。在水文地质单元边界条件分析的基础上,利用Visual MODFLOW建立非稳定渗流场三维数值模型,模拟4个放水阶段的解危效果,结果表明,历时215 d,放水量约487.6万m3,一分区18煤突水危险可以解除。      

东滩煤矿奥灰放水试验数值模拟

奥灰水是东滩矿下组煤安全开采的主要水害威胁和重点防治对象。东滩矿下组煤底板奥灰水压高达7.20~11.46 MPa,在不考虑底板受采动破坏影响下,奥灰对17煤的突水系数为0.077~0.158 MPa/m,最小值亦接近现有规程标准上限值(0.10 MPa/m)。为了查清奥灰含水层水文地质条件进而制定合理的奥灰水防治措施,基于矿井的水文地质条件及奥灰放水试验,建立了适合本矿井的水文地质模型,并利用地下水模拟软件Visual Modflow,计算了奥灰含水层水文地质参数。通过验证,该水文地质模型能够客观的反映奥灰天然流场,为今后预测矿井涌水量、奥灰疏降水量提供了依据。

Hydrogeochemistry of coal mine water of North Karanpura coalfields,India: implication for solute acquisition processes,dissolved fluxes and water quality assessment

Mine water samples collected from different mines of the North Karanpura coalfields were analysed for pH, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids (TDS), total hardness (TH), major anions, cations and trace metals to evaluate mine water geochemistry and assess solute acquisition processes, dissolved fluxes and its suitability for domestic, industrial and irrigation uses. Mine water samples are mildly acidic to alkaline in nature. The TDS ranged from 185 to 1343 mg L^?1 with an average of 601 mg L^?1. Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺ are the dominant cations, while SO₄ ^2? and HCO₃ ^? are the dominant anions. A high concentration of SO₄ ^2? and a low HCO₃ ^?/(HCO₃ ^? + SO₄ ^2?) ratio (<0.50) in the majority of the water samples suggest that either sulphide oxidation or reactions involving both carbonic acid weathering and sulphide oxidation control solute acquisition processes. The mine water is undersaturated with respect to gypsum, halite, anhydrite, fluorite, aluminium hydroxide, alunite, amorphous silica and oversaturated with respect to goethite, ferrihydrite, quartz. About 40% of the mine water samples are oversaturated with respect to calcite, dolomite and jarosite. The water quality assessment shows that the coal mine water is not suitable for direct use for drinking and domestic purposes and needs treatment before such utilization. TDS, TH, F^?, SO₄ ^2?, Fe, Mn, Ni and Al are identified as the major objectionable parameters in these waters for drinking. The coal mine water is of good to suitable category for irrigation use. The mines of North Karanpura coalfield annually discharge 22.35 × 10⁶ m³ of water and 18.50 × 10³ tonnes of solute loads into nearby waterways.     

A Multi-method Approach for Estimating the Failure Depth of Coal Seam Floor in a Longwall Coal Mine in China

Determining the failure depth of coal seam floor is necessary for safe mining operations, especially when the coal seam is located above confined aquifers with high water pressure. Geomechanical, geophysical, and hydrogeological data collected during the longwall mining of the first working face of coal seam no. 16 in the Nantun coal mine, Shandong Province, China, were used to calculate the failure depth of the coal seam floor above the Ordovician limestone confined aquifer. The multiple method approach employed by this study made use of the plastic sliding theory, empirical formulas, water injection test, and numerical simulation. Multiple methods can compensate for and validate each other and also overcome the intrinsic limitations of any single method. The results showed that the most appropriate value of the failure depth of the coal seam floor in the mine was 14.6 m and this value proved useful for knowing the effective thickness of water pressure-resistant layer below the coal seam. The failure depth also proved to be an important parameter when preventing groundwater flow into the mine from the coal seam floor.

辐射井疏干技术在露天矿地下水疏干中的应用研究

现有的井群疏干、地下巷道集中排水、地表地下联合疏干方法都已比较成熟有效,但当矿区的地下水系统由非均质各向异性、低渗透性含水介质组成时,井群疏干受到低渗透性含水层和高倾角裂隙的制约,无法达到良好的疏干效果。地下巷道集中排水方法一次性工程投入很大,含水层富水性极度不均时易造成许多不必要的浪费;地表地下联合疏干方法的地面部分对矿坑边坡安全和采场作业都会造成一定的影响。结合马钢集团南山矿业公司高村露天铁矿的地下水疏干技术研究专项,调查分析了矿区地质和水文地质条件,含水介质特点及含水层富水特征,借助GMS软件建立了高村矿区地下水水流模型,提出了辐射井疏干技术的设想,并依据前人提出的＂渗流-管流耦合模型＂模拟辐射井,完成了此类矿山的地下水辐射井疏干方法的初步研究。     

峰峰矿区大淑村矿水文地质条件探析

大淑村井田周边赋存的断层均为倾向井田外侧的正断层,致使井田部位相对抬升,切断了含水层的补给来源,地下水补给、排泄不良,井田处于相对封闭的水文地质单元之中。井田内开采上组煤的主要充水含水层为大煤顶板砂岩含水层,次为野青灰岩和伏青灰岩含水层;煤层回采冒落后,下石盒子组底部砂岩含水层将成为间接充水含水层。这些含水层的富水性弱,单位涌水量均小于0．05L／（s·m）,因此,大淑村井田开采上煤组的矿井水文地质类型为中等,矿井受水害的影响不大,矿井防治水的工作简便易行。
