  • Publication number: 20240035382
    Abstract: A fluidized coal mining method for implementing CO2 underground storage, includes mining area division, tunneling mining, filling and supporting, roof and bottom plate sealing, and boundary surrounding rock sealing. A goaf formed by a mining device after tunneling and mining along a mining strip is filled and supported, and filling and supporting can form a high-strength supporting wall body, which not only provides an effective supporting effect for roof and bottom plate rocks, but also forms a filled and supported wall body; a space for underground storage of CO2 is formed between adjacent filled and supported wall bodies; at the same time, the mining device further seals the roof and a bottom plate of the goaf, and seals boundary surrounding rocks of a mine field, so that the entire mine field forms a whole closed space for the underground storage of CO2 after mining is completed.

  • Patent number: 11391151
    Abstract: An automatic coal mining machine and a fluidized coal mining method are provided. A first excavation cabin is configured to cut coal seam to obtain raw coal and to be transported to a first coal preparation cabin for separating coal blocks from gangue. Then, the obtained coal blocks are transported to a first fluidized conversion reaction cabin. The first fluidized conversion reaction cabin converts the energy form of the coal block into liquid, gas or electric energy, which is transported to a first energy storage cabin for storing. Coal mining and conversion are carried out in underground coal mines, so it is not necessary to raise coal blocks to the ground for washing and conversion, thereby reducing the transportation cost of coal, improving the utilization degree of coal, and avoiding the pollution of the ground environment caused by waste in the mining and conversion process.

  • Patent number: 11261732
    Abstract: A mining machine applicable to fluidized mining and a mining method therefor are provided herein. A microwave transmitting mechanism, a liquid jet drill rod and a cutter-head are arranged at the head of a first excavation device of the mining machine. The ore body in front is first processed by the microwave transmitting mechanism and the liquid jet drill rod to reduce the strength of the ore body, which facilitates subsequent mining of the ore body, lowers the hardness requirements of the cutter-head, and reduces the wearing of the cutter-head. With this mining machine mining the ore body, the mined ores can be directly converted, under the ground, into resources in the easily transportable form, without transporting the ore to the surface for conversion, which saves the cost of transporting the ore to the surface.

  • Patent number: 10975694
    Abstract: A mine field layout method suitable for fluidized mining of coal resources is provided. A main shaft and an air shaft are provided in the mine field, the bottom of the main shaft is located in the shallow horizontal coal seam zone, and the bottom of the air shaft is located in the deep horizontal coal seam zone. The horizontal main roadways are arranged at two boundaries along the strike of the coal seam, and inclined main roadways are arranged at two boundaries along the dip direction of the coal seam. Connecting roadways are located inside the mine field and are in communication with the horizontal main roadways. In the coal mining stage, the coal resources can be converted into the fluidized energy product and/or electricity by an unmanned automatic mining machine.

  • Patent number: 10731962
    Abstract: A transparent constraint apparatus for the normal deformation of a planar model, including rigid transparent retainer plates, a planar model, and magnetic force components. The magnetic force components are provided at edge positions of the rigid transparent retainer plates; the normal direction of the planar model is parallel to the normal direction of the two rigid transparent retainer plates, and said two retainer plates are symmetrically arranged relative to the plane of symmetry of the planar model; the magnetic force components are symmetrically arranged relative to the plane of symmetry of the planar model, mutually symmetrical magnetic force components producing mutually attractive magnetic force. The transparent constraint apparatus solves the problem of constraining the normal deformation of a planar model under planar-strain conditions during testing.
