Advances in coal mining technology and sustainable mining techniques Sekhar Bhattacharyya Shimin Liu in The Coal Handbook Second Edition 2023 Introduction Longwall mining is a fast and mechanized method of coal mining where a large wall of coal is mined with a high powered cutting system and the coal is transported out of the mine through a network of conveyors
Surface mining t/1000t coal produced Underground mining t/1000t coal produced Mining Techniques Contour Area Conventional Longwall Liquid effluents 1 Solid waste 10 10 3 5 Dust Source Based on Edgar 1983 Note Local conditions will form the basis for choosing the appropriate mining method
Coal mining in arid western regions is damaging the fragile ecology causing problems such as surface damage vegetation destruction and soil erosion These issues are obstacles to the development of green coal as mining activities can disrupt the distribution of surface vegetation leading to its spread outside the mining area and affecting surrounding
Environmental impacts associated with coal mining methods Coal mining can be done by two methods open pit and underground where each one has a list of environmental impacts First open pit mining involves digging for coal near the ground surface Open pit mining destroys trees plants soil forests and wildlife habitats
Coal is one of the most essential resources of a country It is widely used for power generation and as a raw material in the industries India ranks third in coal production However the country has to import coal in order to meet the rising demand for coal In India coal mining is conducted using two methods underground and opencast methods
The deep integration of computer field and coal mining field is the only way to coal mine intellectualization A variety of artificial intelligence tools have been applied in open pit and shallow coal mines However with the geometric increase of coal demand the contradiction between supply and demand is becoming more and more serious and the exploitation of
Thick coal seam with complex structures and thick hard roof in the initial mining phase pose various challenges including a long weighting interval strong rock pressure poor top coal caving
The worldwide trend as shown in Fig 1 shows that the majority of coal is produced in major countries using underground mining methods As opposed to the global trend India is producing about 95% of coal from opencast mining methods
Subsidence data acquisition methods are crucial to mining subsidence research and an essential component of achieving the goal of environmentally friendly coal mining The origin and history of the existing methods of field monitoring calculation and simulation were introduced It summarized and analyzed the main applications flaws and solutions and
Drainage Methods Gas drainage for the purpose of eliminating the outburst hazard consists of drilling holes within the seam being mined to allow gas to bleed off from the coal into the hole In its virgin state the gas is "adsorbed" onto the coal a physical bonding largely governed
The removal and processing of coal at the mining site and its transportation to a power station distresses the environment 2 Various methods have been used to assess the impacts of coal on human health and the environment during its complete life cycle 3 The external costs of coal mining and transportation have also been attempted in a number
Large scale mechanised mining methods we use include long wall mining where a long wall of coal is mined in a single slice usually by a large machine sub level caving where levels of the ore are blasted by explosives; and ; block caving where large areas of the ore body are blasted and then extracted with the assistance of gravity
COAL MINING IN INDIA TECHNOLOGY CHALLENGES AND WAY FORWARD B P Singh mechanization with adoption of latest mining methods is the only option left to the mine planners to make a coal mining project economically viable This paper in this context discusses the related pros and cons more especially the high speed drivage
Longwall mining is one method of pillar extraction now the most common method in use in Australia and probably worldwide Before longwall mining methods had been developed to operate satisfactorily in most conditions a lot of pillar extraction was carried out using continuous miners and such methods are still in use in places for a variety
