Abstract:
Based on the green development trend and requirements of China’s coal industry, this paper analyzed the factors that coal mines consider in choosing filling mining methods and the constraints that affect the promotion of filling mining technology. According to the geographical distribution characteristics of different mining areas and the differences in filling demands, four types of priority principles of “protecting the ecological environment, protecting surface buildings, addressing coal gangue and solid waste, and improving economic efficiency” for coal mine filling mining were defined. The ecological mining goal of “building the whole process holographic intelligent ecological mine by adopting filling mining as a regulation tool to protect the ecological environment in coal mines” was put forward. Based on the finite deformation mechanical model of the roof in filling mining, the factors affecting the subsidence of target rocks in filling mining were expounded, and the supporting strength calculation and overburden deformation control equations under three filling engineering modes such as ecological environment protection, ground building protection and gangue treatment were established. In addition, the paper introduced the development status and direction of universal filling technology in coal mines in China, including solid filling of raw gangue waste, modified solid filling, gangue concrete filling, integrated mining-filling-charging, large amount of gangue filling, filling method in thin coal seam, filling method for regional protection, filling method in continuous mining roadway and other filling technologies that meet various needs of coal mines. The material preparation and transportation of different filling technologies, the characteristics of filling process and the adaptive filling equipment were described in detail. In order to realize the intelligent filling of coal mines, a comprehensive data perception system was established, which realized the intelligent process from unit to whole filling working face through spatial planning and filling effect judgment. The sensor network and artificial intelligence algorithm were combined to monitor and control the solid filling process of coal mine in real time, and improve the filling quality and filling efficiency. Coal mine filling mining will play a more important role in the long-term planning of China’s green mine construction. Strengthening the scientific and technological research of the whole process of coal mine production based on active filling, the construction of universal filling technology and process system, the development of new solid filling materials, and the research of intelligent filling mining, will help the filling mining technologies in China’s coal mines have a very broad prospect.
