This paper presents a phase planning method specially designed for coal deposits with nearly horizontal, bedded coal seams. The geology of this type of deposit is modeled into a column model, instead of a block model, to avoid coalrock mixing in blocks. A nested pit generation algorithm is developed for producing a series of nested, leaststrip ratio pits with a column model as its input.

The first step in the production stage is recovering the minerals. This is the process of extracting the ore from rock using a variety of tools and machinery. The second step is processing. The recovered minerals are processed through huge crushers or mills to separate commercially valuable minerals from their ores.
Openpit mining is the process of extracting rock or minerals from the earth through their removal from an open pit or borrow. Figure Openpit mine [16]. Surface mining is usually used to develop coal seams and deposits of many other minerals, but their feasibilities vary with the nature of the body ore.
Methods of extraction Coal extraction methods vary depending on whether the mine is an underground mine or a surface (also called open cast) mine. Additionally, coal seam thickness and geology are factors in the selection of a mining method. The most economical method of coal extraction for surface mines is the electric shovel or drag line.
Coal is the mainstay of China's energy supply. With the gradual progress in China's policy of phasing out backward coal production capacity, the intensive and deep mining of coal has gradually become the new norm. The current mining depth is increasing at a rate of 10~15 m/year. The high crust stress, high gas pressure, high ground temperature, and engineering disturbance stress in deep ...
This paper presents a novel approach to environmental assessment of coal mining operations, which enables assessment of the factors that are both directly and indirectly affecting the environment and are associated with the production of raw materials and energy used in processes.
Construction of intelligent coal mine knowledge map. Through the establishment of information entities, the mapping from the physical space to the digital space is realized. This mapping includes not only physical entities (, coal mining machines, hydraulic supports, and tunneling machines), but also time entities (, roof pressure, gas overruns, equipment failures) and functional ...
The elements of a surface mining operation are (1) topsoil removal and storage for later use, (2) drilling and blasting the strata overlying the coal seam, (3) loading and transporting this fragmented overburden material (called spoil), (4) drilling and blasting the coal seam, (5) loading and transporting the coal, (6) backfilling with spoil and...
Coal mining Coal preparation: As explained above, during the formation of coal and subsequent geologic activities, a coal seam may acquire mineral matter, veins of clay, bands of rock, and igneous intrusions. In addition, during the process of mining, a portion of the roof and floor material may be taken along with the coal seam in order to create adequate working height for the equipment ...
Figure 1: Opencut/underground coal mining facility process diagram . Figure 1. is a generalised facility process diagram for opencut coal mining. In general opencut mining occurs in layers as material is excavated over a period of time. The main activities carried out at opencut coal mines that could lead to emissions to air,
Figure 1 China coal production and openpit coal production. At present, most of the coal mining processes of medium and largescale openpit coal mines use the semicontinuous process system with a singlebucket excavator, truck, semifixed crushing station, and belt conveyor.
The aim of is paper is to address the problem of identifying critical factors in the analysis of noncoal mine explosion accidents as well as to improve the rationality and accuracy of the risk analysis results. Hence, we developed a risk identification method for noncoal mine explosion accidents, combining the SystemsTheoretic Accident Model and Process (STAMP) and the Rankorder Centroid ...
In order to improve the automatic control effect of fully mechanized mining face in coal mine, this paper combines the literature research method to analyze the disadvantages of traditional research and combines the demand analysis to analyze the structure of the automatic control system of fully mechanized mining face in coal mine. Moreover, this paper uses an improved algorithm to improve ...
Coal processing or coal beneficiation uses physical (mechanical) and/or chemical methods to remove rocks, dirt, ash, sulphur and other contaminants and unwanted materials to produce highquality coal for energy in both local and export markets.
Natural gas is a fossil fuel energy source. Natural gas contains many different compounds. The largest component of natural gas is methane, a compound with one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms (CH 4 ). Natural gas also contains smaller amounts of natural gas liquids (NGLs, which are also hydrocarbon gas liquids ), and nonhydrocarbon gases ...
area mining A surface system that removes coal in areas. contour mining A surface system that removes coal following the contours of hillsides. extraction ratio The ratio of coal mined divided by the coal originally in place before mining commenced, expressed as a percentage. full extraction mining An underground system that re
Openpit mining technology. Openpit mining clearly offers a number of economic advantages over underground mining, especially now that mineralprocessing technology has advanced to the stage where very lowgrade ores can be treated profitably. 100 to 150 years ago, this was not the case, and mining was still much more selective.
Zbigniew Słota The Królowa Luiza Mining Museum is one of the touristic objects of the Coal Mining Museum in Zabrze. In the study in concern, an assessment of ventilation of the facility was...
Other articles where coal processing is discussed: coal mining: Coal preparation: As explained above, during the formation of coal and subsequent geologic activities, a coal seam may acquire mineral matter, veins of clay, bands of rock, and igneous intrusions. In addition, during the process of mining, a portion of the roof and floor material.
Methanol is a clean fuel and an important feedstock for the petrochemical industry. Conventionally, the coaltomethanol process generates a substantial amount of CO2 emissions with a low yield of methanol. In this study, we propose the conceptual design development of coaltomethanol process using captured CO2 from the gasification plant by implying process intensification. The base case and ...
Underground coal mining often causes subsidence, goaf landslides, fissures, and even hazard chains, seriously damaging the ecological environment. To address the ecological vulnerability of mining areas is key to exploring the development characteristics and failure mechanisms of surface multihazards. Taking the Shuiliandong coal mine as an example, the mine deformation area was identified ...
The 121 mining method has been widely used in coal mining (Majdi et al., 2012; He, 2014; Islavath et al., 2016), but it has the following drawbacks: (i) Considerable roadway excavation is 13,000 km of roadways are excavated in China each year (He, 2017), with significant excavation addition, it is easy to cause inequilibrium between coal mining and roadway ...
In addition, they also suggested that groundwater levels decreased more with the deeper coal mining depth. During the coal mining process, the significant increase in mine drainage caused by the dewatering scheme may be the main reason for the declined groundwater levels (Akcil and Koldas, 2006, Howladar, 2013). The mine drainage dynamics are ...
The model enables the assessment of GHGs for hard coal mining operations in three time frames: 20, 100 and 500years. The model was used to evaluate the coal mines in Poland. It was demonstrated ...
The Mining Process. Once a mining lease has been awarded to an operator, exploration ( evaluation of the resource) takes place, followed by a planning and development process before excavation or mining begins. The initial task is to gain access to the seam from the surface by some means (shafts, drifts, etc see Access to Seam from ...
The accurate prediction of the vertical extent of waterconducting fracture (WCF) zones in weakly cemented strata is particularly significant in preventing and controlling water hazards in western coal mines. The evolution of fractures in weakly cemented strata affected by mining disturbances was comprehensively analyzed by physical similarity models, numerical simulations, and field ...
