Research and Application of the technology of Forced Ventilation Diversion to Control and Reduce Dust in Comprehensive Excavation Face

Abstract

In order to solve the problem of dust pollution in the comprehensive excavation face, the matching relationship between the long forced ventilation and the short dust removal sucking was grasped, and reasonable control dust removal process parameters were obtained. In this paper, the 3-1 coal return air roadway in Hongliulin Coal Mine is taken as the research object. By establishing the working face physical model and adopting the numerical simulation method, the different axial diameter outward air ratio is compared and analyzed. Combined with the field measurement, it is verified to obtain the optimal range of dust axial diameter outward air ratio. The application results show that a swirl air curtain is formed along the sidewall of the roadway after the adoption of the attached air duct, and a dust control air curtain pointing to the head is gradually formed after entering the section of the roadheader. When the axial diameter outward wind ratio is 1:2∼1:3, the breathing dust at the driver's position can be controlled within 17 mg/m3, and the dust removal efficiency can be increased to more than 93%, which greatly improves the working environment and ensures the occupational health and safety of workers.
