Abstract

Water inrush is a kind of mine geological disaster that threatens mining safety. Type recognition of water inrush sources is an effective auxiliary method to forecast water inrush disaster. Compared with the current hydro-chemistry methodology, it spends a large amount of time on sample collection. Considering this problem, it is urgent to propose a novel method to discriminate water inrush source types online, and further to strive to create more time for evacuation before the disaster. The paper proposes an in-situ mine water sources discrimination model based on light gradient boosting machine (LightGBM). This method combined light gradient boosting (GB) with the decision tree (DT) to improve the network integrated learning ability and enhance model generalisation. The data were collected from in-situ sensors such as pH, conductivity, Ca, Na, Mg and CO3 components in different water bodies of LiJiaZui Coal Mine in HuaiNan. The results illustrate that the accuracy of proposed method achieves 99.63% to recognise water sources in the mine. Thus, the proposed discriminant model is a timely and an effective way to recognise source types of water in a mine online.
