Abstract
After coal mine wastewater is artificially injected into a groundwater reservoir transformed from a goaf, micron-sized suspended matter in the wastewater is purified by the broken rock mass in the goaf. Existing studies can only analyze the macroscopic changes in the content of suspended solids during the purification process, and it is difficult to explain the microscopic deposition mechanism of the suspended solids in broken rock. This paper studied the microscopic deposition behavior of micron-sized suspended solids inside the broken rock mass via numerical simulation using a coupled CFD-DEM method. In addition, indoor model tests were carried out to verify the accuracy and reliability of the model in comparison. The study results show that suspended solids’ deposition behavior varies significantly under broken rock masses’ different pore sizes (0.47 mm, 1.14 mm, 3.00 mm, and 5.33 mm). Within the goaf, the adsorption of suspended solids by the broken rock mass plays a dominant role. At the same time, suspended particles are mostly collected in the inlet area, and the difference in the number of deposited particles can reach 74% when comparing the first 50 mm range as well as the 50–100 mm range. The number of deposited particles at a flow rate of 0.02 m/s is 14% more than that at a flow rate of 0.06 m/s. This work offers new ideas for studying the purification mechanism of coal mine wastewater within a goaf.
