Abstract

The broken coal samples’ (BCS) re-crushing characteristics in the goaf during roof compaction directly affect the mechanics and seepage characteristics of the caving zone. This will further affect the safety of coal mining and the sustainable utilization of abandoned mines. Thus, the experiment of BCS compaction is carried out with the help of an acoustic emission (AE) monitoring system. The Hurst exponent changes of the AE counts at different stages were obtained using the R / S analysis method. The results indicate that the compaction and re-crushing of the BCS at the laboratory scale have long-term memory. When providing sufficient stress, the AE activity of BCS will continue to develop according to the current trend. Based on the AE breakage location technology, the spatial distribution re-crushing characteristics of the BCS are obtained. Re-crushing of the BCS demonstrates uniform breakage in the horizontal direction and layered breakage in the vertical direction. In the horizontal direction, the boundary area first began to break, and the damage gradually spread evenly to the central area. In the vertical direction, the upper layer was the first to be broken, and then the damage began to shift to the middle and lower layers.
