ABSTRACT
In recent years, as one of the green coal mining technologies, coal gangue filling and coal mining
technology has been widely used. The coal gangue filling body in goaf may be in an acidic or alkaline
mine water environment for a long time, and the rich heavy metal elements in coal gangue may pollute
the groundwater environment. In order to predict the migration distance of heavy metal elements in
the goaf floor more accurately, this paper first designed the coal gangue static immersion experiment.
By using ICP, the concentration of heavy metal elements in the soaking solution was tested, and then
the permeability stress sensitivity of mudstone was tested. Finally, based on the above experimental
results, the numerical simulation model for migration of heavy metals in coal gangue under the condition
of seepage-stress coupling was established by using COMSOL multiphysics, and the concentration
distribution and seepage law of heavy metals in the mudstone floor of goaf were analyzed with Mn
element as an example. The research results showed that the heavy metals with pollution risk in coal
gangue soaking liquid were beryllium (Be) and manganese (Mn). The diffusion distance of heavy metal
elements in all stress states was 9.537 m when using the traditional model. When calculating after
combining with the modified model of permeability stress sensitivity analysis, when the stress states
were 0 MPa, 3 MPa, 6 MPa, 9 MPa, 12 MPa and 15 MPa, the diffusion distance of heavy metal elements
was 9.326 m, 6.748 m, 5.9 m, 5.657 m, 5.558 m and 5.55 m, respectively, and the reduction rate was 2.21%,
29.24%, 38.14%, 40.68%, 41.72% and 41.80%, respectively. The migration and concentration distribution
of heavy metal elements were predicted more accurately, which provided a basis for predicting and
evaluating the impact risk of coal gangue on groundwater in filling coal mining goaf.
