Abstract:The Yellow River Basin is the region with the largest scale of coal resource exploitation in China, the production safety risks of coal mining in this area should be paid attention to and studied. This paper collected and sorted out the data on technical conditions of coal mining in nine provinces of the Yellow River Basin, found out the typical indicators of production safety risks related to “Five Major Disasters in Coal Mining”, and then made a preliminary analysis and comparison of the production safety risks in each province. The study shows that the roof accident caused by rock burst in Shandong province has great production safety risk, and the coal mines in Sichuan and Henan province produce more coal dust; there are a lot of high gas mines in Sichuan and Shanxi, and a lot of coal and gas outburst mines in Henan; there are a large number of coal mines with spontaneous combustion tendency in Inner Mongolia and Shaanxi, and Henan has the most coal mines with extremely complex hydrogeological types. This study has made a beneficial attempt to analyze safety risks in coal production by using big data, and the results can provide reference for the formulation of coal safe production policies in the provinces in the Yellow River Basin.
