INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECT OF SEAM INCLINATION ON LONGWALL METHOD WITH A PHYSICAL MODEL IN THICK COAL SEAMS CLOSE TO HORIZONTAL

Abstract

The longwall top coal caving production method is an effective underground production method in which the top coal caving process is in addition to the traditional longwall production method. The production method, which was first used in France and Yugoslavia in the 1950s, has started to be used effectively and efficiently all over the world after the 2000s. The method can be applied in two different ways by forming a face in the inclination of the coal seam or in the horizontal thickness. In this study, the longwall top coal caving production method, which is applied by creating a face on the slope of the seam, was investigated. In the research, the effect of the seam slope on the method efficiency in the longwall top coal caving production method applied in thick coal seams close to horizontal was investigated with a 2D physical model developed within the scope of the study. As a result of the physical model studies, a linear relationship was determined between the amount of top coal drawn and the inclination of the seam. On the other hand, it was determined that the rock mixture ratio increased up to a certain point depending on the increase in seam slope, and then started to decrease. In addition, it has been determined that the top coal flow boundaries are also oriented towards the face progression direction depending on the increase in the seam slope.
