Abstract

This study aims to effectively solve the problem of the destruction of the coal roof and floor overlying rock after mining the protective layer, and determines whether the gas in the protected layer can be effectively released. We do this based on the engineering background of the Weng’an Coal Mine; research and analysis of the movement of the roof and floor overlying rocks; the evolution of cracks and the pressure relief characteristics of the protected layer after mining the protective layer; and through theoretical analysis and similar simulation experiments. Through numerical simulation, it was found that the protected layer was depressurized due to the mining of the protective layer, and the decompression rate of the protected layer was 0.2–0.8. In addition, the overall expansion rate of the protected layer was greater than the requirements of the “Detailed Rules for Prevention and Control of Coal and Gas Outbursts” for coal mines, and the investigation of the residual gas pressure and content of the protected layer revealed that the protected coal seam had been mined in the upper protective layer coal face. The gas pressure dropped to 50.7% of the original coal seam gas pressure, the rate of decrease was 49.3%, the residual gas content dropped by 68.67%, and the gas concentration in the return airway was 0.31% on average, meeting the national regulations that require its value to be less than or equal to 1%. The study comprehensively demonstrates that mining of the protective layer is beneficial to the release of gas from the protected layer, and provides a practical reference for coal and gas outbursts in mines.
