煤矿采空区微生物采残煤动态物理模拟实验研究

Dynamic physical simulation for microbial mining of residual coal in abandoned coal mine goafs

  • 摘要: 煤矿采空区是我国实现“双碳”目标的重要突破口,采空区内部含有大量残煤、薄煤层与分散有机质,迫切需要一种绿色低碳的技术对其进行二次资源化利用。煤层气生物工程的诞生为采空区微生物采残煤提供了理论和技术支撑。为此,通过自主研制的煤储层原位动态、静态厌氧发酵装置,以内蒙褐煤作为发酵底物、煤储层本源微生物作为菌种来源,通过物理模拟煤矿采空区温度(35 ℃)、压力(0.5 MPa)与矿井水动态补给(0.020 mL/min)进行煤的动态、静态厌氧发酵实验。对比分析原位动态和静态条件下产气特征、关键液相物质、微生物群落结构、关键代谢通路的演化规律,揭示煤矿采空区残煤在静态条件与地下水动态补给条件下的微生物甲烷化机制。结果表明,原位动态物理模拟实验的产甲烷效果优于静态实验的。其中累积甲烷产量为5.72 mL/g,比常规静态厌氧发酵系统高出了37.9%。此外通过矿井水补给,系统内小分子醇类物质与乙酸等挥发性脂肪酸含量上升了约20%,且关键水解菌RomboutsiaAminobacterium丰度也提高了10%,表明了矿井水的补给为发酵系统提供了更多营养物质;同时促进了水解菌群的活性与有机质的降解,为产甲烷菌提供更多可利用的底物。补给矿井水后Methanosaeta丰度显著提高,乙酰辅酶A合成酶作为乙酸营养型产甲烷的关键酶提高了17%,系统内乙酸型产甲烷得到提升。因此,弱径流带的地下水补给速率与微生物厌氧发酵的代谢周期相匹配时,就可持续产气,微生物采残煤潜力较强;地下水滞留区可被微生物利用的营养物质有限,产气潜力弱于径流带。实验结果表明:向煤矿采空区注入高产高效产甲烷菌群和营养液,可实现部分煤的微生物甲烷化,为煤矿采空区微生物采残煤提供了实验基础。

     

    Abstract: Coal mine goaf is an important breakthrough for my country to achieve the "dual carbon" goal. There are a lot of residual coal, thin coal seams and dispersed organic matter in the goaf, and a green and low-carbon technology is urgently needed for its secondary resource utilization. The birth of coalbed gas bioengineering provides theoretical and technical support for the microbial mining residue in goaf. To this end, this paper uses the independently developed in-situ dynamic and static anaerobic fermentation device of coal reservoir. The Inner Mongolia lignite as the fermentation substrate and the in-situ microorganisms of coal reservoir as the source of microbial community, and conducts dynamic and static anaerobic fermentation experiments of coal by physically simulating the temperature (35℃), pressure (0.5 MPa) and dynamic supply of mine water (0.020 mL/min) in the coal mine goaf. The evolution of gas production characteristics, key liquid phase substances, microbial community structure, and key metabolic pathways under in-situ dynamic and static conditions is compared and analyzed, revealing the microbial methanogenesis mechanism of residual coal in coal mine goaf under static conditions and dynamic groundwater recharge conditions. The results show that the methanogenesis effect of the in-situ dynamic physical simulation experiment is better than that of the static experiment. The cumulative methane production was 5.72 mL/g, which was 37.9% higher than that of the conventional static anaerobic fermentation system. In addition, through the mine water recharge, the content of small molecular alcohols and volatile fatty acids such as acetic acid in the system increased by about 20%, and the abundance of key hydrolytic bacteria Romboutsia and Aminobacterium also increased by 10%, indicating that the mine water recharge provided more nutrients for the fermentation system; at the same time, it promoted the activity of hydrolytic bacteria and the degradation of organic matter, providing more available substrates for methanogens. After the mine water was recharged, the abundance of Methanosaeta increased significantly, and acetyl-CoA synthetase, as a key enzyme for acetic acid-type methanogenesis, increased by 17%, and the aceticlastic methanogenesis in the system was improved. Therefore, when the groundwater recharge rate in the weak runoff zone matches the metabolic cycle of microbial anaerobic fermentation, sustainable gas production can be achieved, and the potential of microbial mining of residual coal is strong; the nutrients available to microorganisms in the groundwater retention area are limited, and the gas production potential is weaker than that in the runoff zone. The results of the experiment shows that by injecting high-efficiency methanogens and nutrient solution into the goaf, microbial methanogenesis of residual coal can be achieved, providing an experimental basis for microbial mining of residual coal in goafs of coal mines.
