To figure out the distribution law of three spontaneous combustion zones in the goaf area of fully mechanized working face under high ground temperature, this study took the 11501# fully mechanized mining face of Zhujixi Coal Mine as the research object, and employed software Fluent to perform numerical simulations on the O2 concentration distribution in the goaf; then, combining with the actual situations on the site, the high-location boreholes and grout holes of the roof gas drainage roadway of the 11501# working face were selected as measuring points to measure the O2 concentration changes in a few positions such as in middle part of the goaf, on the air intake side, and on the air return side. The results show that, the numerical simulation results were basically consistent with the field measurement results, in the middle part of the goaf, the scope of the oxidation zone was 26.4m-62m; on the air intake side, the scope of the oxidation zone was 32m-96m; on the air return side, the scope of the oxidation zone was 28.4m-91m. The research findings of this paper provided a scientific reference for formulating fire-prevention and fire-extinguishing technical plans for mines.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
