With the coal production plummeted in shallow and the excavation enhanced, more domestic mines will face deep mining problems at the present stage, and even a lot of mining depth to reach (700-1000 m).with increasing stress, increase the content of gas, permeability reduction and so on many problems, resulting in deep coal seam gas drainage ...

Across the United States, coal mining is destroying wildlife habitat, polluting local water resources and dirtying our air. In the case of mountaintop removal mining, coal companies are exploding entire mountains to reach buried seams of coal and then filling valleys with the rubble, burying hundreds of miles of stream forever.

While open-pit mining involves extraction of coal from an open pit in the ground, strip mining includes stripping surface layers to reach coal deposits. Contour strip mining, area strip mining and auger mining are other techniques followed in surface mining of coal. In case of strip mining, coal seams are reached by removing the surface above them.

Mining coal . Coal miners use large machines to remove coal from the earth. Many U.S. coal deposits, called coal beds or seams, are near the earth's surface, while others are deep underground.Modern mining methods allow coal miners to easily reach most of the nation's coal reserves and to produce about three times more coal in one hour than in 1978.

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 above ground.

The major coal mines in Greene County like Robena and Nemacolin, would help it reach 2nd place in the state by 1960, producing 15% or Pennsylvania's coal. By 1986, Greene Couty was first in the state, producing 18% of total coal; in 1994, it was still top, producing almost half of the state's total coal.

Strip mining. The Bagger 288 is a bucket-wheel excavator used in strip mining. Strip mining is the practice of mining a seam of mineral, by first removing a long strip of overlying soil and rock (the overburden ); this activity is also referred to as overburden removal. It is most commonly used to mine coal and lignite (brown coal).

Coal mining is the process of extracting coal from the ground. Coal is valued for its energy content and since the 1880s has been widely used to generate electricity. Steel and cement industries use coal as a fuel for extraction of iron from iron ore and for cement production. In the United Kingdom and South Africa, a coal mine and its structures are a colliery, a coal mine is called a 'pit ...

Surface coal mining generally involves the following sequence of unit operations: (1) clearing the land of trees and vegetation, (2) removing and storing the top layers of the unconsolidated soil (topsoil), (3) drilling the hard strata over the coal seam, (4) fragmenting or blasting the hard strata with explosives, (5) ….

Although the United States has the vast coal resource described in the previous chapter, perhaps as much as 4 trillion tons, the key issue for policy makers is the amount of coal that is economically recoverable.This is not a fixed quantity, but depends on the geological resource, the market price, and the cost of mining. The particular characteristics of the coal mining industry create unique ...

Mining the Coal Coal miners use giant machines to remove coal from the ground. They use two methods: surface or underground mining. Many U.S. coal beds are very near the ground's surface, and about two-thirds of coal production comes from surface mines. Modern mining methods allow us to easily reach most of our coal reserves.

Surface mining techniques are categorized as either strip, open pit, or mountaintop removal. Strip mining is a method used on flat terrain and involves removing soil or rock above a layer of coal, exposing the coal seam for mining. One type of strip mining is contour mining, where extraction activities occur on a hillside.

Coal mining is only a temporary use of land, so it is vital that mine rehabilitation takes place once operations have stopped. Detailed rehabilitation or reclamation plans are designed and approved, covering the period from the start of operations until well after mining has finished.
