- Abstract
Methane explosions often occur during the closure process of mine fire zones, during which the concentration of combustible gases such as monoxide and ethylene produced by coal combustion dynamically changes, which changes the risk of methane explosion. Therefore, studying the gas concentration distribution and methane explosion limits during the process of mine closure is of great significance for disaster prevention and control. In this paper, a three-dimensional physical model of gob was built, and the distribution of monoxide and ethylene in the process of fire zone closure was investigated. Further, the explosion limits of methane enriched with CO and C2H4 in the closed fire zone of gob were analyzed. The results indicate that CO and C2H4 would form a small-scale accumulation phenomenon near the fire zone after the closure of the fire zone, and when the fire zone is closed for more than 15 min, the mixed combustible gases in the environment lose their explosiveness.
