- Abstract
In order to find a suitable technology for recovery of bound coal in China's Shanxi province, the Wongawilli mining method is applied in Ganhe colliery. Recovery rate depends on reasonable deign of rooms and pillars. Geological conditions of pilot area is complex, such as great burial depth, poor integrality and latent underground water. In consideration of that, the study was carried out in 2013. Site sampling, SEM (scanning electron microscope), XRD (X-Ray Diffraction) and some other mechanical equipment were used to test physical and mechanical parameters of surrounding rocks. The RQD (rock quality designation) is lower than 30%, so the integrality of rocks is quite poor, the compressive strength is of high discrete. Then theory of simply supported beam and theory of clamped beam were used to acquire the reasonable span of roof rock. Finally, numerical models were founded to analyse deformation, plastic zone and stress evolution by FLAC3D. Three different size of coal pillar were compared. We come to a conclusion that the suitable width of little pillar is 1.5 m in this mining area, it can guarantee stability of stope, meanwhile recovery rate is the highest.
