Monitoring and Control Model for Coal Mine Gas and Coal Dust

Abstract

In order to provide production safety and determine the optimal ventilation scheme in coal mining, the mines should be classified by their gas emission and mine security rank. In this paper the three models of mine classification, mine insecurity, and the optimal ventilation required by the mine are established and solved by MatLab and Lingo software. In answer to question 1, firstly, the daily absolute gas emission amount and relative gas are evaluated by average values of absolute and relative gas emission rates. It is shown that average values distribution complies with the normal distribution and fluctuation around the stable value. Finally, according to the standard requirements, the mine is classified as a high gas mine. In answer to question 2, the relationship is established between the gas concentration and the lower limit of coal dust explosion concentration, and a specific function relationship between gas concentration and coal dust explosion concentration is obtained by logarithmic fitting. The fuzzy membership function is derived, and the fuzzy statistical evaluation model is established to evaluate the mine safely. The probability safety value calculated by MatLab software is 4.63 %. In answer to question 3, firstly, according to the relationship between gas concentration, coal dust concentration and ventilation speed, the minimum air volume actually required by the coal mining face under the condition of safe production is established. Through MatLab programming calculation, the minimum air volume of coal mining face 1 and face 2 is 385.10 and 531.08 m3/min, respectively. According to the diversion of the air volume of each working zone and the specific requirements for ventilation speed in each zone, a ventilation optimization model is established and solved by Lingo software. The calculated air volume of the local ventilator and the optimal (total) air volume required by the mine are 150 and 1491.18 m3/min, respectively. Finally, through the solution and analysis of the model, it is shown that the simulation method is reasonable and can produce reliable guidance for management of high-risk coal mining enterprises.
