Abstract

Gas control and extraction are essential for energy use and sustainable development. In order to study the gas diffusion and transportation law of high-gas tunnels after excavation and blasting and the influence of ventilation on gas concentration, an engineering example is used as a research object. We put forward the “energy concentrating device + digital electronic detonator”, a new type of peripheral hole in the joint initiation of explosive technology, applied to a tunnel in the plateau, studied through field tests and the original “detonating cord + digital electronic detonator” joint detonation technology after a comparative analysis of the blasting effect. On this basis, the characteristics of gas diffusion and transportation near the palm face were studied by numerical simulation under the two working conditions of ventilated and unventilated, and the law of gas diffusion and transportation near the palm face was obtained. The research shows that: with the “energy concentrating device + digital electronic detonator”, a new perimeter hole joint detonation technology compared to the original “detonating cord + digital electronic detonator” joint detonation technology, the explosive unit consumption reduced by 0.2 kg/m 3 , half-hole retention rate increased by 5%, average charging time shortened from the original 1.3 h to 1.0 h, and stabilizing the cycle of footage at the same time greatly reduces the cost of consumables, improving the tunnel surface blasting effect; numerical simulation shows that under the condition of no ventilation, the gas accumulation near the arch top and arch waist at the tunnel face is severe, with the gas concentration close to 30%, the gas concentration is higher up to 7 m from the face after the gas state is stabilized, and the gradient of the gas concentration in the area beyond 7 m is small. The gas concentration in the area can be reduced to the safe range after ventilation in about 30 s, but gas accumulation easily occurs in the foot and arch waist on the opposite side of the wind pipe. The results of this study can provide a reference basis for similar gas tunnel blasting construction and ventilation optimization and promote the sustainable development of energy.
