DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0033] The present disclosure will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] As illustrated in FIG. 1, an isolated overburden grouting filling method for coal gangue underground emission reduction in the present disclosure comprises the following steps.

[0035] In Step a, key strata in an overburden are distinguished according to mining parameters and geological information on a coal mining face 1. One of the key strata with a thicker thickness is selected as a grouting filling key stratum 2 according to requirements for a surface subsidence control and a gangue filling processing volume, and a lower boundary of the grouting filling key stratum 2 is a selected grouting filling horizon.

[0036] In Step b, a position is selected as a drilling site from a roadway 4 (such as uphill roadway and the like) outside a terminal line 3 of the coal mining face. An underground directional hole 5 is constructed in a direction of the grouting filling key stratum 2 from the drilling site. A first drilling drill-hole 6 of the underground directional hole 5 is an inclined hole, a direction of the first drilling drill-hole 6 is a direction of an open-cut off 7 in the coal mining face. An angle of the inclined hole is selected within a feasible range of construction according to a distance between the drilling site and the terminal line 3 of the coal mining face, and a minimum vertical distance between the trajectory of the inclined hole and the boundary of the water conducting fractured zone 8 on the coal mining face ranges from 40 m to 50 m. After the underground directional hole 5 enters the grouting filling key stratum 2, the underground directional hole 5 is continuously drilled forwardly in a direction of the open-cut off 6 in the coal mining face along a middle plane of the key stratum, the drilling is stopped after drilling forwardly for a distance of 30 m, the drilling direction is parallel to the advancing direction 9 of the coal mining face, a high-strength casing is inserted and the cementing of the first drilling drill-hole 6 is completed with the cement slurry.

[0037] In Step c, after the cementing of the first drilling drill-hole 6 is completed, the main hole 12 is continuously drilled forwardly along the middle plane of the grouting filling key stratum. A projection of a drilling trajectory on a horizontal plane is parallel to the advancing direction 9 of the coal mining face. The main hole 12 is inclined downward by 3 to 5, and the drilling is stopped when the main hole is drilled to a distance of 50 m away from the open-cut off 7 in the coal mining face.

[0038] In Step d, starting from a drill-hole ended point of the main hole 12, a group of obliquely downward branch holes 12 are constructed at regular intervals along an axis direction of the underground directional hole 5. Each group of branch holes 10 consists of one or more rows, each row consists of 3 to 5 branch holes arranged in a fan-shape manner. The rows are as backups for each other in each group, the drill-hole ended point of each branch hole 10 is located 20 m to 50 m below the lower boundary of the grouting filling key stratum 2, and 30 m to 50 m above the top boundary of the water conducting fractured zone 8 on the coal mining face.

[0039] In Step e, after the construction of all branch holes 10 is completed, the non-consolidated high-viscosity filler (such as gelatin, yellow mud, polymer) is injected into the main hole 12 and the branch holes 10 through an orifice of the underground directional hole 5, which fills all the branch holes 10 and the interior of the main hole of the underground directional hole and plays a role of temporarily closing the branch holes, with no solidification to block the branch holes 10, and then a stable pressure is maintained at the orifice.

[0040] The construction of the underground directional hole 5 is completed before mining in the coal mining face 1. One or more directional holes 5 are arranged according to parameters such as the width of the coal mining face 1, the diffusion radius of the slurry, and the demand for the filling volume.

[0041] In Step f, after the coal mining face 1 starts mining, when the coal mining face is mined at the drill-hole ended point of the branch hole 11 in the first row of the first group, the low-concentration gangue slurry is injected into the maim hole 12 through the orifice of the underground directional hole 5 according to an attenuation of the drill-hole pressure. With the coal mining face passing through the branch holes 11 in the first row of the first group, a slurry concentration and a grouting volume are continuously increased according to a change of the drill-hole pressure, thereby forming the grouting filling horizon 13. During the grouting filling process of the branch hole 11 in the first row of the first group, since the fractures in the grouting filling horizon 13 have not developed to the subsequent branch holes, the fillers in the subsequent branch holes still do not leak, thus blocking the gangue slurry from flowing into the subsequent branch holes, and avoiding the blockage of the subsequent branch holes caused by the sedimentation of the gangue particles.

[0042] The grouting filling system is built underground without occupying land resources on a ground. The gangue comes from an underground roadway excavation and a selected gangue. The gangue is stored and buffered in the filling system, and is crushed and milled to make gangue powder. The gangue powder is mixed with water to make gangue slurry for filling, or is directly mixed with water in a process of crushing and grinding to make the gangue slurry.

[0043] In Step g, with the continuous mining of the coal mining face 1, the fractures in the grouting filling horizon 13 are spread forwardly. When the coal mining face 1 approaches the branch holes in a subsequent row, the fractures in the grouting filling horizon 13 are communicated with the branch holes in the subsequent row to form a communication channel of main hole 12-branch hole 10-grouting filling horizon 13. At this time, since a grouting pressure at the connection point between the subsequent branch hole and the main hole 12 is higher than a pressure at a bottom of the branch hole 10, the gangue slurry in the main hole 12 is promoted to flow into the branch hole 10 to squeeze fillers in the branch hole 10 into the fractures in the grouting filling horizon 13, and enable the branch hole 10 to be a grouting filling channel, thereby starting the grouting filling of the branch hole.

[0044] In Step h, with the coal mining face being continuously mined forwardly, a grouting is continuously implemented to fill the fractures below the grouting filling key stratum 2 through the main hole 12. Due to an effect of the pressure, a lower caved and a fractured zone rock mass are squeezed downwards, and the grouting filling key stratum 2 is supported upwards, thereby increasing opening degrees of the fractures, greatly increasing the grouting volume and processing the underground gangue, effectively supporting the grouting filling key stratum 2, and effectively controlling the overburden and the surface deformation until the mining of the coal mining face 1 is completed.
