煤矿胶带运输巷呼吸性粉尘运移规律及精准控尘除尘技术

Migration patterns of respirable dust and precision dust control and removal technology in coal mine belt conveyor roadways

  • 摘要: 胶带运输巷是煤炭输送的主要作业场所,煤炭在长距离输送过程中会产生大量呼吸性粉尘,增加了患尘肺病的概率与煤尘爆炸隐患。目前煤矿巷道内粉尘治理方法存在耗水量大、粉尘捕集效率低、现场效果不能满足实际需求等问题。针对上述问题,研究了煤矿胶带运输巷呼吸性粉尘运移规律及精准控尘除尘技术。结合计算流体力学(CFD)软件和数字高程模型(DEM),构建了胶带运输巷全尺寸等比例几何模型,模拟探究了风流扰动下的粉尘污染时空演化特性,分析了人行道呼吸带高浓度粉尘分布规律。分析结果表明:根据胶带运输巷的产尘特点,转载点、胶带振动提供了持续粉尘源,与带式输送机右侧相比,其左侧(人行道)风速较小,对粉尘浓度的稀释能力弱,为粉尘集聚提供了条件,污染较严重;呼吸带高度附近区域整体空间比较开阔,粉尘运移过程所受阻碍较小,导致人行道附近形成一条狭长的高浓度粉尘带,且粉尘浓度呈不断攀升趋势。针对转载点和胶带2处不同特点的粉尘源,分别采用全断面云雾降尘装置和自发电智能雾化降尘系统来降低人行道及其整条巷道的粉尘浓度,结果表明:巷道平均总粉尘浓度和平均呼吸性粉尘浓度分别从249.75 mg/m3和171.03 mg/m3降至54.16 mg/m3和21.46 mg/m3,总粉尘降尘效率为76.56%,呼吸性粉尘降尘效率为75.32%。

     

    Abstract: The belt conveyor roadway is the main operation site for coal transportation. During long-distance conveying, a large amount of respirable dust is generated, increasing both the risk of pneumoconiosis and the potential for coal dust explosions. At present, dust control methods in coal mine roadways suffer from excessive water consumption, low dust collection efficiency, and unsatisfactory on-site performance. To address these issues, this study investigated the migration patterns of respirable dust and developed precision dust control and removal technologies for coal mine belt conveyor roadways. Using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software combined with a Digital Elevation Model (DEM), a full-scale geometric model of the belt conveyor roadway was constructed to simulate the spatiotemporal evolution of dust pollution under airflow disturbances and to analyze the distribution characteristics of high-concentration dust in the pedestrian breathing zone. The analysis results showed that, based on the dust generation characteristics of belt conveyor roadways, the transfer points and belt vibrations were the main continuous sources of dust. Moreover, compared with the right side of the belt conveyor, the left side (pedestrian walkway) had lower air velocity and weaker dilution capacity for dust, providing favorable conditions for dust accumulation and resulting in more severe pollution. The area near the breathing height was relatively open, causing less obstruction to dust migration and forming a long, narrow zone of high dust concentration near the pedestrian walkway, where dust concentration tends to increase continuously. To address the different dust generation characteristics at transfer points and along the belt, two control technologies were applied: a full-section cloud-mist dust suppression device and a self-powered intelligent atomizing dust suppression system. Application results showed that the average total dust concentration and average respirable dust concentration in the roadway decreased from 249.75 mg/m3 and 171.03 mg/m3, to 54.16 mg/m3 and 21.46 mg/m3, with total dust and respirable dust removal efficiencies of 76.56% and 75.32%, respectively.
