Prediction of Fracture Evolution and Groundwater Inrush from Karst Collapse Pillars in Coal Seam Floors: A Micromechanics-Based Stress-Seepage-Damage Coupled Modeling Approach by Yinlong Lu, Bingzhen Wu, Mengqi He, Lianguo Wang, Dan Ma, Zhen Huang

“…Karst collapse pillars (KCPs) frequently cause severe groundwater inrush disasters in coal mining above a confined aquifer. An accurate understanding of the damage and fracture evolution, permeability enhancement, and seepage changes in KCPs under the combined action of mining-induced stress and confined hydraulic pressure is of great significance for the early prediction and prevention of groundwater inrush from KCPs in coal seam floors. …”

Formation Mechanism and the Height of the Water-Conducting Fractured Zone Induced by Middle Deep Coal Seam Mining in a Sandy Region: A Case Study from the Xiaobaodang Coal Mine by Xiaoshen Xie, Enke Hou, Shuangming Wang, Xueyang Sun, Pengfei Hou, Shibin Wang, Yongli Xie, Yongan Huang

“…The height of the water-conducting fractured zone (WCFZ) is a basic parameter related to water protection in coal mines and is also crucial for aquifer protection and mine safety. In order to accurately detect the height and shape and reveal the formation mechanism of the WCFZ, which is caused by middle-deep coal seam mining in a sandy region, the 112201 coalface at the 1# coal mine of Xiaobaodang was taken as a case study. …”

Review of the environmental and health risks of hydraulic fracturing fluids by Sara Makki, Elsa Maalouf, Alissar Yehya

“…Fracturing fluid recovery rate is highly variable, and the fact that a high percentage of the injected HF fluid is not produced back to the surface in some areas raises questions about its fate and possible migration into aquifers. In this paper, the composition of the HF fluid and related toxicity are described, along with insights about the environmental impact linked with HF fluid, synthesized spill data, main factors affecting the flow-back ratio, and induced seismicity related to HF activities. …”
