A block of coal is extracted in slices, the dimensions of which are fixed by the height of coal extracted, the width of the longwall face, and the thickness of the slice (ranging from 0.6 to 1.2 metres). In manual or semimechanized operations, the coal is undercut along the width of the panel to the depth of the intended slice.

The reference power plant used in this paper is a 300 MW subcritical coal-fired power plant. The boiler is a subcritical natural circulation boiler. The steam turbine has three electric feedwater pumps, three high-pressure, and three low-pressure feedwater heaters, as shown in Fig. 1. Main operating parameters of the unit are shown in Table 1.
One of the major natural hazards occurring during the process of mining exploitation are endogenous fires. They cause very large material losses and constitute a threat to the health and life of the workers. Such fires usually start and develop in the goafs. The remaining coal and the oxygen-containing air flowing at a certain rate may lead to …
Before the coal processing start, inerting system runs until oxygen concentration is below 5%. During the operation and after the coal processing is stopped, inerting system (including the fan) continu-ously to run to maintain oxygen concentration below 5%. There are catenation relations between: (1) sensor and devices, (2) devices and devices.
Typical coal mining operations commence with a life of mine, or long-term mine plan based on a Competent Person's (CP's) resource model, environmental permits, land acquisition, local permits, etc. Mines are either owner operated, or use mining contractors (tier 1, 2, or 3) to reduce overheads or for ease of access to finance (Fig. 12.3).

Coal is one of the most essential resources of a country. It is widely used for power generation and as a raw material in the industries. ... Currently, India has 476 mines in operation, am ong ...
A mathematical hydraulic support self-tracking model for three-machine cooperative mining is proposed to address low efficiency and difficulties in strategy evaluation of a fully mechanized coal face. The proposed model uses the coordinates and traction speed of the shearer to calculate the frequency of the circular hydraulic support …
59 minutes agoMobile robots in complex underground coal mine environments are still unable to achieve accurate pose estimation and the real-time reconstruction of scenes with absolute geographic information. Integrated terrestrial-underground localization and mapping technologies have still not been effectively developed. This paper proposes a …
Recent regional trends reflect a shift in coal power prioritization from the US and EU to many fast-developing countries in Asia 24.By 2017, China far exceeded any other country with a cumulative ...
The existing automatic control program and its parameters for three machines in a fully mechanized Coal Mining face are static and simplex and are therefore inadequate for satisfying the complex and dynamic environment of underground coal mines. To overcome this problem, a collaborative mathematical model is established that …
Coal seams can be mined by surface or underground methods ( Figure 4.3 ), with the choice of mining method dictated by both technical and economic factors. The most important …
1.1 Bituminous And Subbituminous Coal Combustion 1.1.1 General Coal is a complex combination of organic matter and inorganic mineral matter formed over eons ... operating from 4 to 30 atmospheres (60 to 450 pounds per square inch gauge). At this time, atmospheric FBCs are more advanced (or commercialized) than pressurized FBCs. The …
A novel power system operation simulation method considering multi-state models of coal-fired power unit: a case study of coal-fired power transformation in a certain region of China February 2021
Efficient extraction of coal bed methane before coal mining is essential to eliminate the risk of coal-gas outbursts. However, stimulation technologies should be implemented to enhance the conductivity of the coal seam. In this study, we propose a novel method to create a complex fracture network in underground coal mines with the integration of …

Coal is primarily used as fuel to generate electric power in the United States. In coal-fired power plants, bituminous coal, subbituminous coal, or lignite is burned. The heat …
The boundary between the coal and rock mass then develops to a funnel-shaped coal-roof interface as the caving operation continues. The top coal recovery is 98.1%, 77.1% and 70.5% for caving operations below the solid coal, entries and gob area in the upper seam, respectively. The proper timing of caving and interval of caving …
Like all fuels, coal must be transported to an end user before it can be used.Specific transportation needs vary—Gulf Coast lignite is generally transported over very short distances to minemouth power plants, Appalachian and Illinois Basin coals are typically transported over somewhat longer distances from mine to market, and coal mined in the …
Highwall mining is an adaptation of auger mining. Instead of an auger hole, an entry into the coal seam is made by a continuous miner, remotely operated from a cabin at the surface. The cut coal is transported by conveyors behind the miner to the outside. Using a television camera, the operator can see and control the miner's progress.
