1Abandoned roadway90001 : (1–1.5)0.10.3Discontinuous glue injection. 3-4 hours of injection, pause for about 1 hourFully exfoliate the water in the colloid to increase the colloid accumulation rate

2Existing masonry roadways1350(1–1.5) : 10.30.3Continuous large amount of glue injectionIncrease the fluidity and coverage of colloids in the cracks of high-temperature coal to improve the fire extinguishing effect

3Roof falling zone and goaf area5000(1–1.5) : 10.10.3Discontinuous glue injection. 1 hour of injection, pause for about half an hourRelease water from the colloid and fill the fissure with solid material as much as possible
