Description
A METHOD OF REDUCING SUBSIDENCE OR WINDBLAST IMPACTS FROM LONGWALL MINING
Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a method of reducing subsidence or windblast impacts from longwall mining.
The present invention has been developed primarily for use in longwall mining of coal but is also applicable to mining other materials including metalliferous ores and Gold. The invention also finds application in filling tunnels for underground caverns and the creation of stable underground liquid storage caverns.
Background of the Invention
Longwall mining involves the mechanical extraction, under protective hydraulic roof supports, of a horizontal or a sub-horizontal material strata such as a coal seam. The roof supports are moved in the direction of extraction as the strata is extracted, and the overhanging rock (known as a hanging wall) is allowed to collapse into a void (known as a goaf) remaining behind the mining operation. This collapsing of the rock in the hanging wall can propagate to the ground surface above the mining operation and cause:
subsidence; compressive and tensile horizontal strains; surface cracking and sink holes; cliff and valley rockfalls; and in certain incised valley terrains compressive stresses can cause rising ground surface levels (known as "upsidence").
The ground movements referred to above cause damage to buildings and other infrastructure, and can alter the flow patterns in natural and constructed drainage.
Subsidence caused by longwall mining can also have effect below ground surface and, for example, fracture rock and allow gas and ground water to escape confining layers. This can lead to surface gas emissions and changed aquifer conditions. This can also result in bores into deeper aquifers being lost when movement occurs across horizontal or sub- horizontal fractures. Deep fractures can also drain natural rockfalls and streams into subsurface fractures, with consequent loss in aquatic and riparian habitat and stream flows.
There have been several known attempts to manage or reduce subsidence impacts from longwall mining. The main management method does not directly minimise the subsidence but instead minimises the consequence of such subsidence impacts on structures and the environment by requiring developments oyer a mining area to be built to withstand the predicted subsidence impacts. A disadvantage of this approach is it increases the cost of the development. Further, in New South Wales, when a new mine, or an extension to an existing mine is proposed, the mining company must typically develop or has imposed on it a subsidence management plan that attempts to manage impacts by all or some of the following measures: predicting mine subsidence impacts; planning the longwall mine to either avoid sensitive areas or planning longwall panel alignment or width to minimise impact on critical areas; conducting pre-mining dilapidation surveys on buildings, infrastructure and natural features; pre-strengthening buildings and infrastructure to withstand the predicted subsidence impacts; setting aside funds during mining operation to cover mine subsidence impacts; monitoring subsidence impacts after the longwall panel is extracted; and repairing damaged buildings, infrastructure and natural features during the time that subsidence impacts persist.
Disadvantages of this approach include that it is very time consuming, expensive, requires a large number of personnel and often results in resources being unable to be extracted.
A known method of directly reducing mine subsidence is to backfill the void before the hanging wall collapses into the goaf. The disadvantages associated with this method include: the requirements for a large amount of material to fill the void; the associated two-way handling of the material being difficult in the confined and progressively and unpredictably collapsing space of the goaf; difficulties with completely filling the void with compacted material suitable to resist the collapsing hanging wall; the injury risk associated with working in the goaf void due to imminent and unpredictable roof collapse; and the placement of the backfill material slowing down the longwall mining process.
An alternative method has been to hydraulically backfill the mining void with a slurry or grout. For example, it is known to fill a void with sand, tailings and coal-fired power station ash mixed with cement to provide strength when cured. The disadvantages of this method include: the relatively high cost; the requirement for, and cost of, impoundments to be progressively constructed behind the longwall extraction face with a second longwall system and crew; and the difficulty in the backfill being able to develop suitable compressive strength to resist collapse before the longwall mining can progress and filling of another section begin. This significantly slows the speed and increases the cost of longwall mining.
US Patent No. 4,044,563 and US Patent No. 4,968,187 disclose filling the goaf from above after drilling into it from the surface with a slurry and a dry granular material respectively. Another surface based approach involves injecting grout into the overlying strata as voids are created by weaker strata separating from stronger strata.
Disadvantages associated with such surface based approaches include that they: are expensive; require a large height of overburden over the longwall panel with differentially weak and strong layers; require large volumes of fine material of certain specification and water to form the grout; and require surface access over the mined area for drilling and injection which can be problematic in urbanised or protected areas.
Underground longwall mines are also subject to a hazard known as windblast. Windblast is a sudden rush of air or gas created in underground workings due to the sudden collapse of a void. In longwall mines with competent rock strata over the extracted seam, the roof or hanging wall will resist collapse when the hydraulic roof supports advance, and a large area (up to several hectares) of open goaf can develop. When the area of roof does does collapse, often will minimal warning, the displaced air or gas occupying the goaf void creates a blast of air and an over pressure wave that propagates through the mine tunnels, often quickly followed by a "suck back" of negative pressure as the air pressure equalises with the low pressure created by voids created higher in the hanging wall.
Windblast is one of the most serious events that can occur in an underground mine. They are violent, uncontrolled and their prediction is not yet a certain science. The effects of a windblast include: large displacements of atmosphere from mined out areas into the working place; a shock wave associated with increased air pressures; abnormal pressure differentials; and high velocity (hurricane force) winds. The risks associated with windblast include: objects, from particle size up to in some instances hundreds of kilograms in weight, becoming projectiles; violent displacement of persons including the possibility of being drawn back into the goaf; flammable, noxious and/or irrespirable gases that have accumulated in the goaf inundating the working place; water that has accumulated in the goaf inundating the working place; dusts being raised into suspension including coal dust which can become explosive; massive roof, containing quartz, generating incendive sparks hot enough to provide ignition sources; damage to electrical apparatus during the course of the windblast providing ignition sources.
Windblasts have lead to injuries and fatalities. Measures taken by mines with windblast risks to minimise these risks include redesign of tunnels and roadways, monitoring of micro-seismic activity that may indicate an imminent collapse, requiring mine personnel to wear protective gear and have access to safe areas, having sensors that detect windblasts and cut off all electrical power, and careful geotechnical design of the mining. Some mines in Australia have also injected water into the overlying rocks under high pressure to create fractures and reduce the size of the roof collapses.
Object of the Invention
It is the object of the present invention to substantially overcome or at least ameliorate one or more of the above known disadvantages.

Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiments
Fig. 1 shows a schematic cross-sectional side view of a typical longwall coal mining operation proceeding in a mining direction 20. Fig. 1 shows a seam 22 being mined above a footwall 24. A longwall mining face 26 has a goaf 28 created behind it by the extraction of mined material and results in a hanging wall 30 being created above the goaf 28. The hanging wall 30 is supported by a hydraulic roof support mechanism 32.
In a typical longwall mining operation, the hydraulic roof support 32 is configured with the objective of having the hanging wall 30 collapse into the goaf 28 as soon as possible, so as to reduce the load on the hydraulic roof support. However, for the methods that will be described below, it is desirable for the hydraulic roof support 32 to include an extension 34, in the opposite direction to the direction of mining 20. The extension 34 is used support the hanging wall 30 and keep the goaf 28 largely free of collapse, as will be explained in more detail below. This process can also be assisted by adding fingers to the back of the hydraulic roof support 32, similar to those on a tunnel boring machine, installing sacrificial timber props in the goaf 28, or rock bolting in the hanging wall 30.
An embodiment of the method of reducing subsidence in longwall mining shall now be described with reference to Figs. 2 and 3.
Fig. 2 shows a longwall mining operation after the drilling of a hole 36 across most or all of the footwall 24 and beneath the goaf 28. The hole 36 extends across the footwall in a direction which is approximately normal to the direction of mining 20. The hole 36 is then charged with an explosive. Fig. 3 shows the longwall mining of Fig. 2 after the firing of the explosive in the hole 36. As is shown, the firing of the explosive causes the material adjacent the hole to fracture and expand upwardly and into the goaf 28. The extension 34 supports the hanging wall 30 and keeps the goaf 28 largely free of collapse during the drilling, loading and firing steps.
The fractured material takes the general form of a ridge or arch 38 formed from: rock segments 40; expanded rock fragments or rubble 42; and voids 44. When longwall mining recommences, the hanging wall 30 begins to collapse into the remaining space in the goaf 28 and loads the (expanded) footwall rock and the arch 38 of expanded footwall rock. The arch 38 advantageously resists the hanging wall collapse and reduces the . effective height of the collapse. As a consequence, any subsidence over the mined longwall panel is also reduced.
The progress of the mining operation is preferably optimised between blasts in order to minimise collapse of the hanging wall. The optimisation can depend on the competency of the hanging wall strata and the width of the goaf, as the goaf may stay open or have minimal collapse without support for a considerable distance. The
(modified) hydraulic roof supports mentioned above can be used to support one edge of the hanging wall. Alternatively, the goaf can be supported by sacrificial wooden props or rock-bolting. Regardless of the type support, the aim is to keep the goaf substantially open and for the footwall material to expand into a stable arch or ridge within the goaf. If too much collapse of the hanging wall occurs, the firing of the explosive can be confined and ineffective.
Fig. 4 shows a longwall mining operation after the drilling and charging of a triangular pattern of 3 holes 36 with explosive. The explosive in the shallowest hole are then fired first and the explosives in the deeper holes are subsequently fired after a delay. This results in a three part arch 38a being formed over a two-part arch 38b, similarly locked in place with the rubble 42 and the voids 44.
Fig. 6 shows a longwall mining operation after the drilling and charging of a triangular pattern of 6 holes 36 with explosive. The explosive are fired sequentially, in layers from shallowest hole to deepest holes. As shown in Fig. 7 this results in the formation of the three layers of arches 38a, 38b and 38c.
Fig. 8 shows a longwall mining operation similar to that described with reference to Figs. 4 and 5 after the creation of four arched regions 38, each being created one after another after a subsequent advancement of the mining operation. Fig. 8 also shows ridges 46 of unfractured footwall that are left between each of the arched regions 38. The ridges 46 also assist in supporting the arched regions 38. Fig. 8 also shows that whilst some collapse of the hanging wall 30 into the goaf 28 has occurred, the resulting subsidence has been minimised.
Fig. 9 shows a directional drill rig 50 being used to drill holes 36 through the footwall 24 and beneath the goaf 28. The holes 36 have an initial minority downwardly directed section 36a followed by a majority horizontal section 36b.
Fig. 10 shows a pair of conventional drilling rigs 52 being used to create slightly downwardly angled holes 36 from extending into the footwall 24 beneath the goaf 28 from opposite directions.
Fig. 11 is a top view of longwall mining operation showing the holes 36 behind longwall equipment 60 and unmined seam 22. Support material is also left unmined either side of the seam 22, in the form of chain pillars 62.
Fig. 12 shows a longwall mining operation after the drilling and charging of a substantially vertical pattern of 2 holes 36 with explosive. The explosive are fired sequentially, in layers from shallowest hole to deepest hole. As shown in Fig. 13, this results in the formation of the arches 38a and 38b.
Fig. 14 shows a longwall mining operation after the drilling and charging of a substantially vertical pattern of 3 holes 36 with explosive. The explosive are fired sequentially, in layers from shallowest hole to deepest hole. As shown in Fig. 15, this results in the formation of the arches 38a, 38b and 38c.
The advantages of the methods of reducing subsidence in longwall mining described above include: • It is a cost effective way to minimise subsidence, with relatively small amounts of material required (typically less than 1 % of the material required for dry or hydraulic backfilling):
• It causes minimal disruption to the longwall mining cycle;
• A limited amount of material is required to be bought underground - typically less than a kilogram of high explosive can fracture a cubic metre of rock, which can be easily handled in the confined spaces of an underground longwall mine;
• The process is confined underground, and surface access is not required. This means that this process could be adopted in urban environments, adjacent sensitive structures and in protected areas such as National Parks or under stored waters where surface access is difficult or not possible;
• No direct access is required to the hazardous environment of the goaf, with the drilling, loading and firing process being undertaken from the side or sides of the longwall panel;
• The method has minimal impact on the longwall mining cycle. The blast holes can be drilled from the chain pillars prior to or during mining, and the only disruption to longwall mining is the time taken to load and fire the explosives in the holes;
• Can be used in combination with grouting, with such grouting of the voids above and between the arches or in the fractured rock further minimising subsidence impacts;
• The minimised subsidence impacts could potentially allows mining under areas previously restricted areas. For example, within the Southern Coalfield south of Sydney there is an estimated AU$ 100B worth of coal to be longwall mined, and large additional areas adjacent to these mines can not be accessed using existing methods as it is beneath National Park, water storage dams, residential areas, cliffs, or deeply incised creeks or rivers.
The above advantages result in the methods described above being cost-effective techniques for minimising longwall mining subsidence impacts.
In addition to reducing subsidence in longwall mining, the above described methods can also mitigate windblast risks in two ways. Firstly, the methods result in the void being filled with broken rock, thereby reducing/minimising the amount of air that can be displaced if the roof collapses. Secondly, the broken rock will decelerate the collapsing roof, reducing the over-pressure and shock wave.
Although the invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments, it will be appreciated by persons skilled in the art that the invention can be embodied in many other forms. For example: rock-bolting or placing sacrificial timber props can be used to minimise collapse of the hanging wall to allow for wider, less frequent blasting of the footwall. Also, directional drilling can be from one chain pillar to break out in the other. This is followed by inserting a plastic pipe liner in the hole, blowing through a string and then, when ready, to blast pulling a string of explosives through the hole. This can reduce the downtime required to load the blast holes.
The primary application for the invention is coal mines and the invention performs best with the footwall geology found in coal mines. Around 99% of longwall mining operations are for coal. However, it is also applicable for use in non-coal longwall mining operations, for example Gold mines in South Africa.
