Abstract
ABSTRACT The study introduces a novel solid backfilling technology, aiming to address gangue accumulation problem in top coal caving mining. To reveal its top coal drawing mechanism, discrete physical and numerical models were established. During the initial drawing stage, considerable amounts of low-position top coal are extracted, with yields fluctuating. As the working face advances, the drawing body shape shifts from knife-handle to semi-arch, and coal-gangue boundary curvature varies periodically. At low backfilling ratios, premature gangue exposure causes the loss of high-position top coal. Conversely, higher backfilling ratios facilitate the creation of a reconstructed floor, thereby enhancing top coal recovery.
