    Abstract: A method for extracting gas by fracturing a coal seam through a combination of hydraulic slotting and multi-stage combustion impact wave comprises cutting slots in an impact borehole using a hydraulic slotting equipment to perform pressure relief and permeability enhancement on a coal seam and enlarge a N2 (nitrogen gas) or CO2 (carbon dioxide gas) storage space, injecting a large amount of N2 or CO2 into the borehole by means of a high pressure gas cylinder and a pressure reducing valve through a gas injection and extraction pipe, then injecting a certain amount of methane and dry air into a high-temperature and high-pressure combustion chamber by means of the high pressure gas cylinder and the pressure reducing valve, so that the gases are mixed and combusted to form high-temperature and high-pressure impact wave to push a piston to compress the N2 or CO2, thereby generating a large number of factures on the coal seam around the impact borehole under guiding action of the slots. The impact wave is repeatedly generated to form a multi-stage impact, and the impact of the next stage is based on the impact of the previous stage, so that the fractures on the coal seam around the borehole are further expanded and run through. After the N2 or CO2 is compressed by means of the multi-stage impact, more fracture networks are formed on the coal seam around the borehole under the guiding action of the slots and the fractures, thereby enhancing the borehole-based efficient gas extraction.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for sorting and utilizing coal and rock for a coal and rock combined mining face, and is especially applicable to the sorting and utilization of coal and rock mined from a coal and rock combined mining face when an extremely thin coal seam is used as a protective layer in combined mining of multiple coal seams. Underground gangue transport, storage and filling systems are directly established underground to convey a large amount of coal and gangue mined from the coal and rock mining face to an underground sorting and washing chamber for efficient separation of the coal and the gangue, sorted gangue is crushed and then filled in a mined-out area of a protected layer, thus realizing the environment-friendly cut and fill mining of the protective layer while the gangue is not lifted, and effectively preventing the ground subsidence caused by combined mining of multiple coal seams; sorted middlings are conveyed to a gangue power plant on the ground for power generation through a main conveying system, so that the pressure on mine coal quality is alleviated when benefits are created in the power plant, and thus the average ash content of commercial coal is reduced, and the selling price is increased. The method provided by the invention realizes the efficient utilization of coal and rock while realizing the efficient separation of coal and gangue, and has remarkable economic and social benefits and excellent promotional value.
