Research on dust dispersion law of fully mechanized mining faces under different inclinations and tracking closed dust control method.

Based on the gas-solid two-phase flow theory, numerical simulation of the dust dispersion law of fully mechanized mining work under different inclination angles and comparative analysis of field-measured data show that with the increase of working face inclination, the inclination of airflow into the unmined zone increases from 25° to 50° and the maximum wind speed increases from 2.16 to 2.25 m/s after the mixing of cutting turbulent wind and system ventilation. Meanwhile, the range of high-concentration dust clusters, suspension time, lateral migration intensity, and deposition zone increase to varying degrees; dust clusters increases from 62.02 to 202.46 m. When X < 53.96 m, the dust concentration in the sidewalk-breathing zone shows a sine function with the length of the working face, and when X ≥ 53.96 m, it satisfies the exponential decay function. Based on this, the tracking closed dust control technology is proposed. Combining the offset angle of the airflow and t the gathering position of dust mass, the wind curtain angle and air velocity are automatically controlled to ensure that the dust is restricted to one side of the cable trough.
