Abstract
Green mining is an effective way to achieve sustainable development in the coal industry. Preventing coal and gas outburst dynamic disasters are essential for ensuring sustainable and safe mining. The numerous microscopic pores within the coal serve as the primary storage space for gas, making it critical to explore the structural distribution and seepage characteristics to reveal the disaster mechanism. Under mining stress, gas within the micropores of the coal migrates outward through cracks, with these cracks exerting a significant control effect on gas migration. Therefore, this study focuses on utilizing natural fractured coal bodies as research objects, employing a micro-CT imaging system to conduct scanning tests and digital core technology to reconstruct sample pore and fracture structures in three dimensions, and characterizing the pores, cracks, skeleton structure, and connectivity. A representative elementary volume (REV) containing macro cracks was selected to establish an equivalent model of the pore network, and a seepage simulation analysis was performed using the visualization software. Revealing the seepage characteristics of fractured coal mass from a microscopic perspective. The research results can provide guidance for gas drainage and dynamic disaster early warning in deep coal mines, thus facilitating the sustainable development of coal mining enterprises.
