Provided is a method for recovering room-type coal pillars by cemented filling of reserved roadways, which is especially suitable for safe and efficient recovery of left coal pillars in room-type mining faces in mining areas where the ecological system is fragile, such as in western China. In the method, by constructing reserved roadways in two adjacent rows of room-type goafs, excavating coal pillar roadways in room-type coal pillars, and finally interconnecting the reserved roadways with the coal pillar roadways to form a U-shaped working face, room-type left coal pillars are recovered. Thus, not only the workload of roadway excavation is reduced, but also the recovery ratio of the coal resources is maximized. The method provides a novel technical model for the recovery of room-type left coal pillars in mining areas, such as in western China.

Provided are a system and a method for monitoring bearing compression rate of a filler in a coal mine gob area. An ground information processing system, a vibration source control system, and a monitoring system are arranged on the ground according to a buried depth of the filler in the gob area. The vibration source control system generates vibration, and transmits a signal to the filler. The monitoring system on the ground receives different reflected waves according to different elasticities of the fillers under different compaction degrees. Final data is transmitted to the ground information processing system for data processing. The monitoring of the filler starts when the filler is filled in the gob area; the filler is gradually compacted. The filler is monitored until the thickness of the filler does not change. Finally, a bearing compression rate formula is utilized to calculate the bearing compression rate of the filler.
