Description
Summary:Water inrush is a major threat to the working safety for coal mines in the Northern China coal district. The inrush pattern, threaten level, and also the geochemical characteristics varies according to the different of water sources. Therefore, identifying the water source correctly is an important task to predict and control the water inrush accidents. In this chapter, the algorithms and attempts to identify the water inrush sources, especially in the Northern China coal mine district, are reviewed. The geochemical and machine learning algorithms are two main methods to identify the water inrush sources. Four main steps need to apply, namely data processing, feature selection, model training, and evaluation, in the process of machine learning (ML) modelling. According to a calculation instance, most of the major ions, and some trace elements, such as Ti, Sr, and Zn, were identified to be important in light of geochemical analysis and machine learning modelling. The ML algorithms, such as random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM), Logistica regression (LR) perform well in the source identification of coal mine water inrush.
