松散煤体自燃介尺度孔隙结构动态演化特征

Dynamic evolution characteristics of mesoscale pore structures during spontaneous combustion of loose coal

  • 摘要: 针对现有煤自燃孔隙结构研究多聚焦于低温微观孔隙、单颗粒孔裂隙或压实煤柱CT结构,难以反映松散煤颗粒堆积体燃烧阶段颗粒间孔隙动态演化的问题,以宁夏汝箕沟煤矿(NX)和山西沁水端氏煤矿(SX)2种无烟煤为对象,选取 5~7 mm 和 7~10 mm两组粒径,依托松散煤体自燃可视化试验系统,开展介尺度颗粒间孔隙结构动态演化研究。提出融合 RGB 与 HSV 颜色空间特征的 R-H-B 火焰与孔隙分布识别方法,有效削弱高温火焰辐射与颗粒反光干扰,实现暗孔隙、火焰通道与反光区域的分离识别。结果表明:松散煤颗粒堆积体燃烧过程中介尺度孔隙率呈显著非单调演化特征,升温阶段先降低后升高,燃烧阶段整体升高并伴随波动;4组工况最大孔隙率集中在0.46~0.48,结合孔隙率波动及连通性参数响应特征,可将该区间作为介尺度颗粒间孔隙发生显著重构的统计参考区间。建立了介尺度孔隙率随温度变化的分段表征模型,揭示了升温阶段及燃烧初期孔隙率对温度变化的连续响应规律。粒径主要影响低温基准孔隙水平,煤种差异主要体现在孔隙率温度敏感性上,其中 NX 煤样 7~10 mm工况温度敏感系数最高。多参数相关性分析表明,各结构参数间的关联程度随燃烧阶段和粒径条件呈显著差异,温度是驱动介尺度颗粒间孔隙结构动态演化的主控因素,强放热燃烧阶段温度与孔隙率相关系数达0.73~0.82;粒径决定孔隙扩展向优势贯通通道转化的效率,7~10 mm 颗粒体系中孔隙率与最大连通域占比相关系数达0.50~0.69,明显高于5~7 mm 颗粒体系。研究结果表明,燃烧阶段松散煤体介尺度颗粒间孔隙结构并非稳定不变,而是在温度驱动、颗粒坍塌和通道贯通共同作用下发生动态重构,静态孔隙率难以反映其连续演化特征。上述结果可为松散煤体燃烧阶段介尺度颗粒间孔隙连续表征,以及局部高温区域形成的结构基础分析提供试验依据。

     

    Abstract: Existing studies on pore structures during coal spontaneous combustion mainly focus on low-temperature micropores, pore–fracture structures in single coal particles, or computed tomography (CT) structures of compacted coal columns, making it difficult to characterize the dynamic evolution of interparticle pores in loose coal particle assemblies during combustion. Two anthracites from the Rujigou Coal Mine in Ningxia (NX) and the Duanshi Coal Mine in Qinshui, Shanxi (SX) were selected, with particle sizes of 5–7 mm and 7–10 mm. Based on a visualized experimental system for loose coal spontaneous combustion, the dynamic evolution of mesoscale interparticle pore structures was investigated. An R-H-B stepwise flame–pore identification method integrating RGB and HSV color-space features was proposed, which effectively reduced the interference caused by high-temperature flame radiation and particle surface reflection, enabling the separate identification of dark pores, flame channels, and reflective regions. The results show that the mesoscale porosity of loose coal particle assemblies exhibits significant non-monotonic evolution during combustion: it first decreases and then increases during the heating stage, and increases overall with fluctuations during the combustion stage. The maximum porosity values of the four test conditions are concentrated within 0.46–0.48. Combined with porosity fluctuations and the response characteristics of connectivity parameters, this range can be regarded as a statistical reference interval for significant reconstruction of mesoscale interparticle pores. A segmented characterization model describing mesoscale porosity as a function of temperature was established, revealing the continuous response of porosity to temperature during the heating stage and early combustion stage. Particle size mainly affects the baseline porosity at low temperatures, whereas coal type mainly influences the temperature sensitivity of porosity; the NX coal sample at 7–10 mm shows the highest temperature sensitivity coefficient. Multi-parameter correlation analysis shows that the correlations among structural parameters vary significantly with combustion stage and particle size. Temperature is the dominant factor driving the dynamic evolution of mesoscale interparticle pore structures, with the temperature–porosity correlation coefficient reaching 0.73–0.82 during the intense exothermic combustion stage. Particle size determines the efficiency with which pore expansion transforms into dominant connected channels, and the correlation coefficient between porosity and the maximum connected-domain proportion reaches 0.50–0.69 in the 7–10 mm particle system, markedly higher than that in the 5–7 mm particle system. The results indicate that the mesoscale interparticle pore structure of loose coal during combustion is not stable, but undergoes dynamic reconstruction under the combined effects of temperature driving, particle collapse, and channel connection, and that static porosity alone cannot reflect its continuous evolution. These results provide experimental evidence for the continuous characterization of mesoscale interparticle pores during loose coal combustion and for analyzing the structural basis of local high-temperature zone formation.
