UNECE and responsible mining . UNECE promotes responsible mining as part of a green economy through a range of largely separate sectoral activities and instruments that are described below . In addition, and taking a cross sectoral approach, m ining was one of the thematic issues addressed by the fourth (and final) Regional Implementation Meeting on Sustainable Development (Geneva, 12 ...

efficient practices and by using advanced technologies. This bandwidth analysis report was conducted to assist the ITP Mining RD program in identifying energysaving opportunities in coal, metals, and mineral mining. These opportunities were analyzed in key mining processes of blasting, dewatering, drilling, digging, ventilation, materials handling, crushing, grinding, and The U ...
Productive Partnership – Advanced Blasting Technology at Newlands Coal Mine Chris Batten 1, Les Willan 2, and Matt Sparkes 3 In late 2008 Xstrata Newlands Coal Mine in Central Queensland and Orica Mining Services engaged in discussion to investigate methodologies to change their current mining practices and overcome the issues in the mining of steeply dipping coal seams, the associated coal ...

Advancing longwalls were once common in Europe in relatively thin seams where packs were constructed using stone, which had to be cut in order to produce sufficient height for the gate roads, and sometimes using coal fines which were not very marketable at one time. Usually a pillar of coal referred to as a "chain pillar" would be left between ...
highly advanced coalfired power plant utilizing a low emission boiler system (LEBS). LCA is a systematic analytical method that helps identify, evaluate, and minimize the environmental impacts of a specific process or competing processes. Material and energy balances are used to quantify the emissions, resource consumption, and energy use (, stressors) of all processes between ...
· Pressurerelief coal mining provides an effective way to decrease stress concentration in deep mining and ensures mining safety. However, there is currently a lack of research and field verifiion on the pressurerelief efficiency and influencing factors during upper seam extraction on the lower seam. In order to make up for this deficiency, in this study, field measurements were conducted ...
which calls for advance knowledge of structural and geological conditions ahead of the coal working face. This research project attempts to identify, by means of a literature survey, different exploration and geophysical methods that could be used to detect dykes ahead of underground coal mine workings. In this study a range of geophysical and exploration methods have been identified which are ...
As mining advances, a gridlike pattern of rooms and pillars is formed. When mining reaches the end of a panel or the property line, retreat mining begins. In retreat mining, the workers mine as much coal as possible from the remaining pillars until the roof begins to fall in (aka. third mining or 'robbing the pillars'). When retreat mining is completed, the mined area is abandoned. There ...
One of the geohazards associated with coal mining is subsidence. Coal was originally extracted where it outcropped, then mining became progressively deeper via shallow workings including bell pits, which later developed into roomandpillar workings. By the middle of the 1900s, coal was mined in larger open pits and underground by longwall mining methods.
Mining operations generally progress through four stages: (1) exploration, or the work involved in assessing the size, shape, loion, and economic value of the deposit; (2) development, or the work of preparing access to the deposit so that the minerals can be extracted from it; and (3) exploitation, the work of extracting the minerals, and (4) reclamation and restoration of the disturbed ...
Coal mine methane (CMM) is a term given to the methane gas produced or emitted in association with coal mining activities either from the coal seam itself or from other gassy formations underground. The amount of CMM generated at a specific operation depends on the productivity of the coal mine, the gassiness of the coal seam and any underlying and overlying formations, operational variables ...
