Underground mining, sometimes called deep mining, is a process that retrieves coal from deep below the Earth's surface—sometimes as far as 300 meters (1,000 feet). Miners travel by elevator down a mine shaft to reach the depths of the mine, and operate heavy machinery that extracts the coal and moves it

Get PriceFor minerals that occur deep below the surface—where the overburden is thick—underground mining methods are commonly used. The process begins with the top layers of the land being removed. After that, layer after layer is taken away until the coal is visible. The coal is taken out, processed, and sold.

Get PriceIn this paper we consider a particular kind of new process technology in coal mining, mechanical ventilation, that aimed to solve the problem of methane. As mines descended deeper and into previously unexploited basins, miners encountered an odorless, colorless gas in certain seams of coal.
Get PriceAbutment In coal mining, (1) the weight of the rocks above a narrow roadway is transferred to the solid coal along the sides, which act as abutments of the arch of strata spanning the roadway; and (2) the weight of the rocks over a longwall face is transferred to the front abutment, that is, the solid coal ahead of the face and the back abutment,

Get PriceProcess Control. Variation in the ore body at a mine site can create extraction issues. A constant raw material analysis is needed to maintain accurate process control because if the composition of the ore body changes, the extraction process will need to change just as quickly.
Get PriceStrip mining is the process of scraping the coal from the top surface of the ground. The second phase in the evolutionary development of coal is lignite. Lignite is found in great quantities in the Western part of the US. Again lignite is not particularly efficient in producing energy per mass of fuel.

Get PriceIn room and pillar mining, the most common type of underground coal mining, coal seams are mined by a continuous miner that cuts a network of rooms into the seam. As the rooms are cut, the continuous miner simultaneously loads the coal onto a shuttle or ram car, from which it will eventually be placed on a conveyor belt that will move it to the surface.
