Due to the particularity of mine spaces and the limitations of underground ventilation, the gas in disaster areas changes greatly after a fire occurs. Rapid sealing technology is beneficial for preventing the development of fires and gas explosions by controlling oxygen. Using the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP), in this research, we analyzed the three most effective rapid sealing processes, conducted experimental research on the three sealing processes, and developed a further optimized design. At the same time, according to different stages of blasting damage, the change characteristics and migration laws of explosive hazardous gases in a disaster area were analyzed using fluent numerical simulation. Additionally, the ability of the three optimal processes to create an airtight area was measured in this research. The applicable scenarios and scope of the three technologies were found, which provides a wider range of application scenarios and more diverse options for rapid airtightness during catastrophic periods, mine fire prevention, and explosion protection.
