TO BE COMPLETED BY APPLICANT ame of Applicant: :Actual Inventor(s): Address for Service: Invention Title: A. WEBER Franck Weber, Adolphe Weber CALLINAN LAWRIE, 711 High Street, Kew, 3101, Victoria, Australia "PRODUCT FOR THE CONSOLIDATION OF SOILS OR COAL" The following statement is a full description of this invention, including the best method of performing it known to me:- 28/1/99TD10327.CS,
DESCRIPTION
The invention relates to the domain of mining and public works, in particular to consolidating soils or coal, constructing barriers, as well as filling cavities and obtaining air and gas tightness by injection, projection or filling, and aims to provide an adhesive, supple and uninflammable product intended to this effect.
At present, within the framework of mining, especially coal mining, phenolic resins of the resol type or other resins are used in formulating products for consolidating, constructing barriers and filling or sealing. Indeed, due to their uninflamrnmability properties, phenolic resins are particularly suitable for the preparation of products that can be either in contact with inflammables materials such as coal or used in zones with heat of fire risks.
Compositions of expanding products for injection or filling based on a resol containing an expanding agent and a catalyst containing sulphonic acids are known, So: 15 especially those described in FR-A-2 484 529, DE-A-39 11 477, FR-A-2 667 352 and .i FR-A-1 519 474. These known products certainly meet their main objective, but all of them have the disadvantage that they are brittle after polymerisation and do not adequately glue cracked coal or soil layers to one another whatever the bases may be.
Furthermore these products lack flexibility.
20 The document US-A-3 091 936 also discloses a composition whose main reactive component, forming the body of the polymer, is composed of unsaturated polyesters. In this embodiment, the reaction is inhibited by adding a very small amount, namely in the order of 0.002% to 0.02%, of a resol and phenol. However, such an addition does not lead to uninflammability which is generally required in uses S 25 linked to safety against fire. Similarly, FR-A-2 686 123 describes a self-expanding phenolic resin exclusively intended for constructing barriers and filling gaps. However, the product obtained does not exhibit a flexibility sufficient to adequately consolidate soils.
The present invention aims to alleviate these disadvantages by proposing an adhesive, supple and uninflammable product intended for consolidating soils in general, and more particularly, coal layers, the product being used by injection, filling or projection.
According to the invention, this product is characterised in that it has two components, namely a resin based on a resol with linear polyesters added and a catalyst containing, in addition to sulphonic acids, a resorcin-formol premix, the ratio of the resin/catalyst mixture being preferably in the range from 1:1 to 4:1.
The principal characteristic of the invention lies in the addition of linear polyesters to the resol, which, during the process of polymerisation in a thin film, confers to it an excellent flexibility and stability in the course of time. Furthermore, as a resorcin-formol premix is added to the catalyst, the reactivity of the mixture is optimal when the product is used.
According to a characteristic of the invention, the adhesive, supple and uninflammable product can be modified by replacing all or part of the resorcin in the resorcin-formol premix with at least one of the following components which are used either separately or in combination: phenol 15 cresols alkylphenols such as: para-ter-butylphenol para-ter-octylphenol para-nonylphenol.
xylenols 20 bisphenol A Moreover, it is possible to modify the adhesive, supple and uninflammable product according to the invention by replacing the linear polyesters with the following resol-miscible flexibility-generating agents which are used either separately or in combination: 25 polyols (including glycols) saturated polyesters acrylates and polyarcylates phthalates, adipates, sebacates, succinates, mellitates polyamides polyvinyl acetates NBR (nitrile butadiene rubber) polychloropene based latex styrene/acrylate based latex latex on an acrylonitrile base According to another characteristic of the invention, the resin component further comprises an organosilane intended to enhance adhesion, particularly on a mineral base.
According to another characteristic of the invention, furfuryl alcohol can be added to the resin component. Such an addition makes it possible to increase, if necessary, the reactivity of the mixture so that the final adhesive product -mixture can be perfectly adapted to suit the application conditions.
Preferably, the ratio of the components resin and catalyst, which can vary from 1:1 to 4:1, is 1:1. This mixture ratio is a very important characteristic in using the product according to the invention, as the injection equipment currently used in mines is specially designed for ratios of this order of magnitude.
The composition of the product according to the invention is such that, even 15 in a thin layer, the product polymerises while remaining supple and flexible with a high stability in the course of time. This physical characteristic is essential to make it possible to ensure, on the one hand, tightness against air and gases and in particular °against methane which filters through microscopic cracks and, on the other hand, adhesion even in case of soil movements which are very common in mining areas.
20 According to another characteristic of the invention, in order to obtain an expansion of the final product, the resin component is advantageously completed by addition of an expanding agent, such as sodium bicarbonate, and a surface active agent such as, preferably, an ethoxylated castor oil.
The addition of an expanding agent makes it possible to obtain the final product whose expansion can vary from 1 to 20 depending on the proportion of the expanding agent added. The addition of the surface active agent makes it possible to stabilise the alveolar complex formed by the reaction of the sodium bicarbonate with the sulphonic acid.
By varying the ratio of polyesters versus the other flexibility-generating agents/resol, it is possible to achieve a corresponding variation of the ratios flexibility/cohesion and flexibility/adhesion. Indeed, an increase of the amount of polyester or the other flexibility-generating agents, hence the proportion of long chains, results in an increase of flexibility to the prejudice of adherence or adhesion, while conversely, an increase of the amount of resol leads to a better system cohesion due to its branching, and hence a better adhesion.
A variation of the ratio of sulphonic acid versus the resorcin-formol premix or the replacing components makes it possible to adjust the reactivity of the final product to suit the using conditions: temperature, mixture ratio, short or long setting time.
Thus, an increase of the proportion of the sulphonic acid leads to an acceleration of the reaction kinetics, while an increase of the amount of the resorcin premix or the replacing components/formol slows down the kinetics while improving the system cohesion. The aforementioned variations and effects thus make it possible to fine tune to the specifications, namely the elasticity, the adhesion and the reaction rate, which S are necessary when the product is used under different conditions.
The linear polyesters are preferably unsaturated polyesters and the sulphonic 9.
15 acid is preferably of the phenol, toluene or xylene type.
As an example, the product according to the invention has the following preferred composition: Resin component Resol 46% Polyester 46% *9 Organosilane 1% Water 6% Furfuryl alcohol 1% Catalyst component Sulphonic acid (phenol, toluene, xylene) 48.5% Resorcin-formol premix 48.5% Urea 3% the mixture ratio resin catalyst being 1:1.
Thanks to the invention, it is possible to obtain an adhesive product that is particularly applicable in the domain of mining and public works, in particular, for IIIUl L" IIIIIIIE, LI IUUI1lVV I II JCLIU consolidating soils or coal, constructing barriers, as well as filling cavities and obtaining air and gas tightness.
This product enables good adhesion on all types of bases, namely stone, shale, coal etc. and its adhering capacity ensures good consolidation of soils.
Additionally, this product, which is uninflammable, remains supple and flexible in the course of time, after polymerisation, so that the cohesion of soils after consolidation is maintained against the natural convergences of soils.
Naturally, the invention is not limited to the embodiment described. Modifications remain possible, especially regarding the composition of the components of the product or by substitution with equivalent techniques and chemicals, without deviating from the domain of protection of the invention.
Where the terms "comprise", "comprises", "comprised" or "comprising" are used in this specification, they are to be interpreted as specifying the presence of the stated features, integers, steps or components referred to, but not to preclude the presence or addition of one or more other feature, integer, S: step, component or group thereof.
