Large scale mechanised mining methods we use include: longwall mining, where a long wall of coal is mined in a single slice, usually by a large machine. sublevelcaving, 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.

Ground fissures are generated during the coal mining process due to overlying strata migration, which provides gas and water seepage channels and usually contributes to coal mining accidents in shallow buried coal seams with larger mining height working faces. Thus, the evolution features of ground fissures in large mining height working faces and shallow buried coal seams were explored by ...

The longwall mining process is the most popular highoutput underground coal mining method. Parallel roadways (known as gate roads) are driven into the coal seam typically several hundred metres apart and several kilometres long. In this full extraction mining process a mining machine called a shearer travels back and forth between the roadways.

Coal production from the 36 longwall faces represented % of the 597 million tons of coal produced in the last year. Last year, two longwall mines ceased production and one new mine will start production later this year. The total number of faces dropped from 37 to 36 and the total number of longwall mines declined from 33 to 32.

Hence this method is termed the longwall method. In simple words, longwall mining is a method of underground mining, in which coal is extracted from 60m to 200m long faces, moving continuously in one direction over large distances, leaving behind the goaf. The goaf is packed or allowed to cave. Longwall Mining is currently the main method of ...

Dust generation and its dispersion in a longwall mine pose significant health and safety issues. The concern is prominent at both the working face, where coal excavation exposes workers to high dust concentrations, and also in the return, where float dust accumulates. To address this issue, researchers at the University of Kentucky designed and fabricated a floodedbed dust scrubber integrated ...

When the longwall (LW) face is approaching its finishoff line, the coal mining process generally slows down and then stops to allow the LW equipment to be relocated to a newly prepared installation face following standard procedures, which usually takes approximately 1 ~ 2 months (Kang et al. 2016).During this period, the air is highly likely to penetrate into the active goaf via various ...

And the common site of these events are areas of the longwall mining goafs [1], [2]. In China, gassy collieries account for 70% of all stateowned underground mines [3]. In the process of mining these gassy mines, the gas is released into the goaf, and combines with fresh air leaking from the working face to the goaf, forming explosive mixture [4].
