不同采动条件下煤层破坏特征及CO2驱替CH4数值模拟研究

    Numerical simulation research on coal seam failure characteristics and CO2 displacing CH4 under different mining conditions

    • 摘要: 瓦斯是煤在地质演化过程中产生的气体,其主要成分为甲烷(CH4),通常还包含二氧化碳(CO2)。为实现煤炭行业碳达峰碳中和目标,采空区注入CO2驱替CH4的策略已被证实为有效方法。本文以大柳塔5-2煤层、唐家会6煤层及温家庄15煤层为工程案例,利用UDEC离散元数值模拟软件,探究了不同采动条件下煤岩层的破坏与变形特征。结合COMSOL有限元数值模拟技术,对不同采动条件下两种注入方式的CO2驱替CH4效果进行了对比分析。研究结果显示,随着煤层开采高度的增加,煤岩层裂隙发育愈发显著,并展现出超前发育的特点。采空区中部应力分布相对均匀,而两端则出现应力集中现象。在开采过程中,煤层顶板经历压缩变形,底板中部则发生膨胀,而两侧则受到压缩。进一步观察发现,当在煤层中间布置注入孔时,CH4气体压力从0.74 MPa显著降低至0~6 kPa;而在两侧布置注入孔时,压力更是降低至0~16 Pa。证明CO2能有效驱替CH4,且两侧布置注入孔的方式在驱替效率上表现更为优越。因此,优化注入孔的布置对于提高CO2驱替CH4的效率至关重要。研究结果为类似矿井的瓦斯高效治理提供了重要的参考和借鉴。

       

      Abstract: Gas is a gas generated during the geological evolution of coal, with methane(CH4) as its main component, often containing carbon dioxide(CO2) as well. To achieve the goal of carbon neutrality and carbon peak emissions in the coal industry, the strategy of injecting CO2 into goaf areas to displace CH4 has been proven effective. This paper takes the Daliuta 5-2 coal seam, Tangjiahui 6 coal seam, and Wenjiazhuang 15 coal seam as engineering cases, utilizing the UDEC discrete element numerical simulation software to delve deeply into the failure and deformation characteristics of coal and rock strata under different mining conditions. Combined with COMSOL finite element numerical simulation technology, a comparative analysis is conducted on the effect of CO2 displacing CH4 in two injection methods under various mining conditions. The research results indicate that as the mining height of the coal seam increases, the development of fissures in the coal and rock strata becomes more significant, exhibiting characteristics of advanced development. The stress distribution in the middle of the goaf area is relatively uniform, while stress concentration occurs at both ends. During the mining process, the roof of the coal seam experiences compressive deformation, while the middle of the floor expands, and the two sides are compressed. Further observation reveals that when injection holes are arranged in the middle of the coal seam, the CH4 gas pressure significantly decreases from 0.74 MPa to 0-6 kPa; whereas when injection holes are placed on both sides, the pressure drops to 0-16 Pa. This demonstrates that CO2 can effectively displace CH4, and the arrangement of injection holes on both sides exhibits superior displacement efficiency. Therefore, optimizing the placement of injection holes is crucial for improving the efficiency of CO2 displacing CH4. The research findings provide important references for the efficient management of gas in similar mines.
