The coal wall, gob-side backfill, and gangues in goaf, constitute the support system for Gob-side entry retaining (GER) in coal mines. Reasonably allocating and utilizing their bearing capacities ...
The instability control of deep mining roadway is currently dominated by ejection and grouting, as well as floor support, which contradicts the economic and excavation efficiency of production. Taking the failure site of Xin'an Coal Mine in China as an example, this paper systematically analyzes the failure characteristics of supporting components, crack …
The study focuses on the stability control measures for mining roadways in fault zones of deep mines, using Daqiang Coal Mine as a case study. The control system under consideration, referred to as "pre-splitting cutting roof + NPR anchor cable" (PSCR-NPR), is subjected to scrutiny through theoretical analysis, numerical modelling, and field trials. …
In support of GMI, EPA has developed a range of resources and tools to promote coal mine methane recovery and utilization globally, organized below according to key steps in …
The federal government can and does leverage considerable resources in response to a crisis. In the wake of the Great Recession, the United States ultimately spent $831 billion through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (CBO 2012). The COVID-induced economic crisis that began in 2020 led to the s…
The supporting technology of the coal mine roadway has experienced the process of wood support, masonry support, metal support, bolt support, combined support, and coupled support. Bolt support is a kind of roadway support method anchored in the surrounding rock [34], [35], [36]. It not only applies anchoring force to the surface of the ...
Cables are commonly used for roadway support in coal mines. Traditionally, support schemes show characteristics of excessive strength and resource waste; therefore, determining how to scientifically and economically arrange the distribution of cables is important for engineering practice. To obtain the best distribution of cables, in this paper, the particle …
By the mid-1960s, the ongoing carnage in the coal mines had become a national concern. In 1966, Congress asked the US Bureau of Mines (USBM), then the Federal agency responsible for mine safety, to "conduct a special study to determine the sufficiency of the present safety requirements of the 1952 Federal Coal Mine Safety Act, with particular emphasis upon …
The selected projects cover a range of clean energy technologies, from solar, microgrids, and pumped storage hydropower to geothermal and battery energy storage …
Hua et al. [13,14] discovered a surrounding rock control mechanism for GED with a narrow coal pillar in an isolated working face by studying the mine pressure behavior characteristics and the ...
Residents enter a polling station to cast their votes in a plebiscite on whether to support a new coal mine in Crowsnest Pass, Alta., Monday, Nov. 25, 2024.THE CANADIAN …
Coal mining - Underground mining: In underground coal mining, the working environment is completely enclosed by the geologic medium, which consists of the coal seam and the overlying and underlying strata. Access to the coal seam is gained by suitable openings from the surface, and a network of roadways driven in the seam then facilitates the installation of …
Surface mining is a method of coal mining in which huge machines remove layers of soil and rock to expose underground coal deposits. Companies clear forests and strip away the earth in the process, leaving behind desolate lands incapable of supporting wildlife.
Mine roof fall characteristics of 250 falls in 5 different room-and-pillar coal mines, located in Pike, Martin, and Floyd counties, Kentucky, were investigated to determine the relationship of ...

Fig. 1 shows the airflow velocity distribution (m/s) in main ventilation roadway of N1102 (bolting with wire mesh). The cross-section of the roadway with its length of 4.7 m and its high of 3.2 m is a rectangular section at 317 m from the entrance of airflow.The main ventilation roadway of N1102 with a total length of 1174 m in the west of the mine area was used the …
The continuous miner technology (CMT) is being adopted extensively in underground coal mines of India as mass production technology. This technology potentially eliminates the two-unit operating, namely the drilling and blasting. This elimination helps for better strata control and avoids the drillers working in unsafe conditions, maybe under the loose coal …
Coal camp living conditions were often squalid, with social life dominated by the company and basic freedoms of speech, movement, and assembly restricted by private mine guards and company-paid sheriffs. Mining coal was incredibly dangerous work. During the industrial coal boom between 1880 and 1923, more than 70,000 miners died on the job.
The Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969 [4] recognizes roof bolting as the sole means of underground entry (roadway) support.Subsequently with the development of roof bolters with rotary drilling, roof bolting for underground coal mine entry (roadway) support took off, replacing timber supports, and soon became the sole means of entry (roadway) supports in …
A Model for Transition: Coal-to-Solar (Nicholas County, West ia) – This project plans to repurpose two former coal mines with a utility-scale, 250 MW solar PV system that would power approximately 39,000 West ia homes. These two inactive mine sites provide land and access to existing energy infrastructure that will transmit the ...
left unaddressed, coal mining lands and associated assets can become a costly and inter-generational environmental liability for former coal mining communities. For these reasons, today's approach to a Just Transition for All, as led by the World Bank, places the question of former coal mining land repurposing at the heart of the transition.
