Nov 8 2022The steeply dipping coal seam refers to the coal seam with angle of 35° 55° which is recognized as a difficult coal seam around world Steeply dipping coal seams are widely distributed in major mining areas in China with reserves of 180 ∼ 360 billion tons and production of 150 ∼ 300 million tons accounting for 10 ∼ 20% and 5 ∼ 8% of China s coal reserves and production
As mining of coal depends on the depth and quality of the coal seams different techniques are used to dig the deposits Surface mining and deep underground mining are the two main methods of mining coal Depth density and thickness of the coal seam are the factors that are taken into account while selecting the mining method for coal extraction
There are two basic underground methods of mining coal • Bord and Pillar mining • Longwall mining Although the basic principle remains the same there could be many variants of these two methods f• For example • Bord and pillar • Room and Pillar • Blasting Gallery Method • Chamber Mining Method • Hydraulic Mining fIn Longwall
Common minerals extracted using surface mining are some of the most mined including coal iron and bauxite Underground mining or subsurface mining Underground mining is best suited to extract minerals that are located deep under the surface of the earth Common minerals extracted using underground mining include gold lead and silver
Coal is mined by both surface or opencut or opencast and underground or deep mining methods depending on the local geology of the deposit Underground mining currently accounts for about 60 per cent of world coal production but around 80 per cent of Australia s coal is produced from opencut mines
