Abstract

Filling mining is the main mining method in coal mine, and its safety is the pillar of the overall safety of the mine. Filling mining can effectively protect the surface environment, better solve the problem of ground pressure, and maximize the recovery of underground resources. Therefore, this method has an irreplaceable role in deep mining of coal mines and is highly valued by the mining industry all around the world. In order to evaluate the implementation effect of filling mining, a comprehensive weighting-set pair analysis safety evaluation model is established. This model optimizes the subjectivity of analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and the objectivity of Entropy Weight Method (EWM) in traditional methods. Besides, we add experts’ weight to Entropy Weight Method. The combination of the two methods makes the index weight more reasonable and effective, and can more fully reflect the difference and correlation of index. Firstly, the accident causation analysis and taxonomy (ACAT) is used to find out the accident causation factors of filling mining, and then, the AHP and EWM are used to determine the weight of each evaluation index from different perspectives. Then, the evaluation group is established to score the importance of each expert, so as to reduce the subjectivity of expert scoring. Finally, according to the principle of set pair analysis, the safety evaluation model of filling mining is applied to Yuxing Coal Mine in Inner Mongolia. The evaluation result shows that the safety grade of this mine is grade 1 “safety.” This paper provides a new way and direction for the comprehensive evaluation of similar mining methods, the establishment of index system, the acquisition of index weights, and the evaluation of safety level, which has promotion and application value.
