This includes a set of mining procedures and principles which help insure safe and efficient production. Furthermore, green mining, meaning the comprehensive use of emitted gas, proper treatment of the environment and appropriate mine temperature control, is now standard. The concepts of modem mining and the principles of pressure relief are described. Coal-gas simultaneous ex- traction and multi-pressure relief techniques were developed which require a combination of surface and underground gas extraction. The application of Y-ventilation systems, of roadways retained along goafs, of stress control techniques for highly fragile mine roofs and of powerful, automatic and reliable mining equipment contributes to safe operation of modem deep mines. Operating parameters for these techniques are described and the results of their use discussed.展开更多

Data from the period 1995 through 2007 were studied in order to identify major hazards for underground mining equipment-related fatal incidents and to perform an analysis of those that occurred over the last 13 years. Reports on equipment-related fatal incidents were obtained from the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA). The results show that underground mining equipment including continuous miner, shuttle car, roof bolter, load-haul-dump (LHD), Iongwall and hoisting contributed to a total of 69 mining-related fatalities. The study reveals that the major hazard for continuous mining equipment-related fatal incidents is "Failure of victim to respect equipment working area", while the highest number of fatalities for shuttle car is attributed to the hazard "Failure of mechanical components." The study further reveals that the highest number of fatalities for roof bolter, LHD, and Iongwall are attributed to the hazards "Working under unsupported roof", "Failure of management to provide safe working conditions", and "Failure of mechanical components", respectively. It is determined that one fatality for the hoisting system is attributed to the hazard "Failure of mechanical components" and one to the hazard "Failure to follow safe maintenance procedure". Finally, approaches to prevention were also discussed in this paper.展开更多

Gas concentration and temperature in gob are measured and three oxidation areas in goaf are determined. According to oxidation experiment of coal and in-site measurements, the gases of carbon monoxide and dioxide can be produced laraely by coal and oxygen combination at ambient temperature and the temperature of coai and rock In goaf con rise 10℃ due to heat produced by coai and oxygen combination.There is a great risk of spontaneous combustion in neighboring oId gob because of air leakage for pillar mining.展开更多

Using proper thick seam mining method can effectively reduce the thick seam mining costs. In mining safety, the use of appropriate thick seam mining methods can effectively prevent thick seam mining accidents. But in the process of development and current situation from the perspective of the Chinese coal mining, there are certain aspects of thick seam mining problems. These problems are mainly in the thick seam mining and the coal recovery rate is low, resulting in lots of waste coal. Besides, thick coal mining is less secure, safe and there are frequent accidents. These problems have seriously affected the thick seam mining. And a lot of thick coal seams of coal resources can not be effectively taken out. Now Chinese mining methods in thick seam mining areas are mainly open-pit mining and underground mining exploitation. Because of the open-pit coal burial depth has more stringent requirements, only used in shallow-depth areas. Underground mining is the primary way China is now using in thick seam mining. Underground mining methods include full-height slice mining and mechanized mining caving mining method once adopted. Research on these thick seam mining methods can provide theoretical and technical support for thick seam mining, thick seam mining techniques to enhance the level . I will combine the current situation of thick seam mining in Chinese study with thick seam mining methods, comments and suggestions for the current thick seam mining study展开更多
