Analysis and prevention of blasting accidents
coal mine accidents occur frequently and repeatedly, with a large number of deaths, and the mortality rate of one million tons of coal production remains high. It has seriously affected the development of China's coal industry. Among them, gunpowder management and blasting is an important link in coal mine production management and safety technology work. In recent years, although the degree of mechanization of coal mining in China has improved, blasting mining and blasting excavation is still a commonly used method in coal mines. Blasting is still an important technological process in mining. Due to the complexity of the process, the various processes of receiving from the blasting equipment, transporting gunpowder, making the gun head, fixing the gun and shooting involve a lot of content. You need a lot of polymer personnel who can withstand these [higher] temperatures, and there are many unsafe factors. In particular, the detonator explosives used in shooting are highly dangerous goods strictly controlled and managed by the state. Therefore, shooting work is highly dangerous and special. The main cause of blasting accidents is human factors, and the main cause of blasting accidents caused by human factors is the organic substances of blasting operations: wood flour, bamboo flour, straw, straw, peanut shell, starch, cloth, paper, pulp, man-made fiber, synthetic fiber and other personnel with poor quality, poor safety awareness and illegal operations. Therefore, how to strengthen blasting management and take various preventive measures to effectively prevent the occurrence of blasting accidents is the key link, It has always been the focus of the leaders at all levels of the coal mine
2 mechanism of blasting induced accidents
2.1 mechanism of blasting induced rockburst
in coal mining, there are many incentives to break the stress balance of roadway surrounding rock and lead to rockburst, such as blasting coal, dynamic load caused by roof fracture or separation tear, and vibration caused by natural earthquake. Among them, blasting coal is a major factor inducing rock burst of roadway surrounding rock at present
2.2 mechanism of coal dust and gas explosion induced by blasting
reliable workas we all know, coal dust and gas explosion requires two conditions: first, the concentration of coal dust and gas should reach more than 6%, and second, there is a fire source. Now the monitoring technology of coal dust and gas has become more and more developed, and the production according to the regulations can basically eliminate the phenomenon of gas exceeding the standard. However, there are still some coal dust and gas outbursts, and the gas emission in some places has increased sharply, resulting in coal seams and gas exceeding the standard, so it is necessary to control another explosion condition - fire source. There are many kinds of fire sources, such as electric spark, fiber friction fire, rock collision spark, blasting, etc. all coal mines control the possible fire sources through various means, such as electromechanical explosion-proof measures, not wearing chemical fiber clothes into the well, etc. But blasting is indispensable in coal mine production. So far, blasting production in many coal mines in China has caused many coal dust and gas explosion accidents
3 National Statistics of coal mine blasting accidents
accidents caused by illegal blasting mainly fall into three categories: ① coal dust explosion accidents caused by blasting, ② gas explosion accidents caused by blasting, gas and coal seam outburst accidents, and ③ casualty accidents caused by blasting itself
3.1 gas accidents caused by blasting
from 1981 to 2004, 7985 accidents with more than 3 deaths occurred in coal mines across the country, with a death toll of 52871, including 5120 gas accidents, accounting for 65.24% of the total number of accidents, and 37907 deaths caused by gas accidents, accounting for 71.7% of the total number of deaths
due to the progress of Electromechanical Technology in recent years, the gas explosion accidents caused by electric sparks show a decreasing trend, and blasting, another important fire source in coal mine gas explosion accidents, is highlighted. Taking Shanxi Province as an example, this paper only counts the gas accidents that killed more than 10 people in Shanxi coal mines from 2003 to 2006. Four major gas explosion accidents occurred in 2003, all caused by other reasons; In 2004, there were 7 major gas explosion accidents, in which the gas explosion of liangjiahe coal mine and Honghuagou coal mine, which killed 36 people, was caused by illegal blasting, accounting for 28.57%; In 2005, there were 6 major gas explosion accidents, of which 72 people died in Xishui coal mine and 36 people died in jiajiabao coal mine. The gas explosion was caused by illegal blasting, accounting for 33.33%; So far in 2006, there have been four major gas explosion accidents, among which the gas explosion accidents in targou coal mine, where 11 people were killed, and Nanshan coal mine, where 34 people were killed, were caused by blasting, accounting for 50%
it can be seen that in recent years, the proportion of gas accidents caused by blasting has shown an upward trend. The leader of the State Administration of work safety once said painfully that gas is the killer in coal mine production. And illegal shooting is one of the main inducing factors in these accidents
