Coal Mining. In addition to the sources of pollution listed above, coal mining produces coal slurry (also known as coal sludge) in the process of beneficiation. The coal is washed with water and chemicals as a way to help it burn more efficiently [22]. The resulting slurry, chockfull of chemicals and coal particles, is usually contained either by placing it into abandoned mines in a process ...

· Coal is the primary source of energy in China's energy structure system. With the largescale mining of mineral resources, a large amount of mine water will be produced in the process of development, construction, and production, which will pollute and damage the ecological environment of mine water. At present, China vigorously advoes coal revolution, implements lowcarbon .

· The coals were dug out from underground for long hours a day. Children were put underground to fuel the coal production for long hours each day. The production of coal occurred in underground haulages through rails and horsedrawn trolleys which were suppose to make coal mining easier and more efficient. However, not all coal mines or districts ...
