Study on the suspending mechanism of gangue particle in coal-based solid waste slurry

In China's coal mine backfill mining projects, certain mines demonstrate an extensive filling distance that exceeds 3000 m. However, there are few researches concerning the theoretical underpinnings for slurry long-distance pipeline transportation. Gangue particles suspending in filling slurry...

description In China's coal mine backfill mining projects, certain mines demonstrate an extensive filling distance that exceeds 3000 m. However, there are few researches concerning the theoretical underpinnings for slurry long-distance pipeline transportation. Gangue particles suspending in filling slurry is the prerequisite for successful long-distance pipeline transportation. This paper conducts theoretical researches on the heightened sensitivity issue of particle settling within coal-based solid waste filling slurry (CSWFS) for long-distance pipeline transportation, which can easily lead to unstable slurry concentration then pipe blockage or bursting accidents. The mechanical model for particle settling and critical non-settling particle diameter for long-distance pipeline transportation are developed based on the ''solid-liquid two-phase carrier suspension fluid'', and reveal the intrinsical mechanism of particle settling within CSWFS for long-distance pipeline transportation. Through the calculation of the mechanical model for critical non-settling particle diameter and particle settling, coupled with the particle diameter screening experiment, the value of critical non-settling particle diameter is determined to be 0.0067 m, and the density of solid-liquid two-phase carrier suspension fluid is 1712.37 kg/m3. The CSWFS is classified as a semi-stable slurry, lacking time-dependent suspending state required for long-distance pipeline transportation, which could lead to pipe blockage accidents. Further research into effective methods is urgently required to ensure adequate safety and adaptability for long-distance pipeline transportation of CSWFS.
