The mineable and partially mineable seams in the mining area are 5 #, 6 #, and 9 #. Of the three coal seams, 5 # is partially mineable. As for 9 # coal seam, its mining authority is restricted within the scope of mineral rights. Therefore, 6 # composite seam is the main mining area with an average thickness of m.

The last operating opencast mine in the UK, which produces around twothirds of the country's coal, has closed amid concerns that it could be left abandoned. The FfosyFran pit in Merthyr Tydfil has produced nearly million tonnes of coal since opening in 2008, and is responsible for 86% of the UK's total coal output.

The opencast coal mining technique is used in areas were the coal reserves are scattered in shallow and thin seams and cannot be extracted by deep mining methods (Beynon et al., 2000). The opencast process starts with exploration activities to identify where there are deposits of coal and what is the depth of the seams.

Opencast mining or quarrying of minerals is easier than mining by underground methods. During quarrying the alluvium and rocks below which the minerals lie, are removed and dumped, in the initial stages, in a place which is not required in future for quarrying, residential or other purposes. The mineral exposed is completely extracted. Opencast ...

Longwall mining involves the full extraction of coal from a section of the seam, or 'face' using mechanical shearers. The coal 'face' can vary in length from 100350m. Selfadvancing, hydraulicallypowered supports temporarily hold up the roof while coal is extracted. When coal has been extracted from the area, the roof is allowed to ...

This study therefore investigated the pollution of surface soils surrounding 135 large opencast coal mining pits in China. A total of 1772 surface soil samples were collected, and the concentrations of eight major HMs were determined. The HM concentrations in this study were relatively lower than the published HM concentrations of coal mine ...

Openpit mining technology. Openpit mining clearly offers a number of economic advantages over underground mining, especially now that mineralprocessing technology has advanced to the stage where very lowgrade ores can be treated profitably. 100 to 150 years ago, this was not the case, and mining was still much more selective.

Methods of extraction Coal extraction methods vary depending on whether the mine is an underground mine or a surface (also called open cast) mine. Additionally, coal seam thickness and geology are factors in the selection of a mining method. The most economical method of coal extraction for surface mines is the electric shovel or drag line.

Abstract. Coal mining contributes to economic development, but has an immense impact on the quality of the environment. Soils near coal mines may get contaminated by the dispersion of coal particles and dust from the mines. Soil samples were collected near an opencast coal mine (OCM) in Dhanbad, India.

The reclamation of surface (opencast) coal mines is not always successful; there remains a legacy of degraded land that burdens local communities. This article evaluates a communityoriented, lowcost means of geoecological regeneration, the "Cradle for Nature" strategy, which uses mosaic tree planting to foster positive natural ecological processes. Results show that, while the ...

Open Cast Mining. Open cast mining is usually associated with coal or other tabular deposits that are more or less flatlying. A significant difference between open pit and open cast mining methods is that in open cast mining, overburden that is removed to gain access to the ore is immediately placed in the previously mined cut.
