Longwall is a common and highly productive underground coal mining method Usually the selection of the suitable exploitation technology depends on geology depth or quality of the seams Lehmann
ROOM & PILLAR METHOD Some other variants of bord and pillar method of mining coal seams are known as room and pillar pillar and stall chamber and pillar breast and pillar post and stall etc Bord and pillar mining method comprises two phases development or whole working and depillaring or broken working Sometimes both
The diagram compares two values of k; for k = 1 5 this is regarded as a realistic value whilst for k = 1 33 this is considered as an extreme value which could be encountered in certain geological conditions where minor breakage occurs as with strong rocks For example in UK stratified ironstone room and pillar mining operations at a depth
4 BASIC PRINCIPLE OF BORD AND PILLAR METHOD The development of mine by the method of working known as Bord and Pillar consists of driving a series of narrow roads separated by blocks of solid coal parallel to one another and connecting them by another set of narrow parallel roadways driven nearly at right angles to the first set The stage of
Room and pillar In India underground mining is highly dependent on bord and pillar/room and pillar mining due to their adaptability flexibility and accessibility room and pillar mining involves a sequence of activities that are performed to first enter and develop the mine and then progressively extract the coal
Other articles where room and pillar mining is discussed mining Room and pillar mining The most common mining system is room and pillar In this system a series of parallel drifts are driven with connections made between these drifts at regular intervals When the distance between connecting drifts is the same as that between the parallel drifts then a…

The room and pillar method of mining has changed little throughout the years since its development The mining method can apply to drift slope or vertical shaft mines In room and pillar mining coal seams are mined by developing a network of rooms in the coal seam
4 Characteristic of R & P It is the most common supported pillar method designed and used primarily for mining flat lying seams or tabular orebodies or gently dipping bedded ore deposits of limited thickness like coal oil shale limestone phosphate salt trona potash and bedded uranium ores Room and pillar methods are well adapted to
Room and Pillar Mining The Room and Pillar Mining is not so much a mining method as a strategy to prevent the collapse of the mine It has been used since time immemorial in very large deposits and in extensive seams or strata when the aim is to prevent the surface layer from caving in
3 Introduction Room and Pillar mining method is one of the oldest existing mining methods A mining system in which the mined material is extracted across a horizontal plane creating horizontal arrays of rooms and pillars Usually those room and pillars are uniform size Pillars may or may not be removed after extraction Used for soft as well as hard rock

The Bord and Pillar method of mining is one among them One of the earliest methods of mining is the Bord and Pillar method The most important aspect of successful Bord and Pillar mining is choosing the right pillar size The mine will collapse if the pillars are too small If the pillars are excessively
This diagram shows the traditional method of bord and pillar mining Miners extracted coal along roadways or bords with the coal between the bords acting as pillars holding up the roof The outer pillars were then mined leaving the roof to collapse in a controlled way as the miners retreated
Room and pillar R&P mining is the most common method used to produce coal from underground mines This project addressed two key challenges faced by mine engineers involved in the design and operation of R&P coal mines Those challenges are determining the optimal number of entries to extract in panels and determining the

DESIGN OF ROOMS AND PILLARS The simplest coal mine structures and the ones which most closely relate to conventional laboratory testing are pillars In coal mining pillars can be part of a room and pillar mine layout or can be designed as a support element in a different type of mine layout In Europe these pillars tend to
