Underground coal mining produces finely divided coal dust that deposits throughout the mine and serves as a source of combustible material for coal dust explosions. Limestone powder, known as rock dust, is spread throughout the mine workings on a regular basis. This rock dust serves to inert the coal dust when applied in the proper proportion.
#0183;#32;Coals mines use surface mining for coal deposits buried less than 200 feet underground. In this type of mining, giant machines remove topsoil and layers of rock to expose large beds of coal. After coal extraction, the topsoil is replaced so that the area can be reused for croplands, wildlife habitats, recreation or offices.
2 #0183;#32;Longwall mining is an automated form of underground coal mining characterized by high recovery and extraction rates, feasible only in relatively flatlying, thick, and uniform coal beds. A highpowered cutting machine (the shearer) is passed across the exposed face of coal, shearing away broken coal, which is continuously hauled away by a floorlevel conveyor system ( Figure ).
AchiboSombo mine, located in South Western Ethiopia, is the first underground conventional coal mine in the country with an estimated reserve of about, for active mine area.
Underground coal gasification (UCG) is an industrial process which converts coal into product gas. UCG is an insitu gasification process, carried out in nonmined coal seams using injection of oxidants and steam. The product gas is brought to the surface through production wells drilled from the surface. The predominant product gases are methane, hydrogen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.
Considering ground instability problems of underground coal mines at shallow covers, this paper reviews and describes problems of optimal extraction of coal stuck below surface/subsurface

Coal extraction stands at 911,600 tons in 6 month Thursday, October 22nd, 2020 Some 911,600 tons of crude coal was extracted in Iran during the sixmonth period from March 20 to August 21, from which 350,000 tons of coal concentrate was produced, IRNA reported citing the data released by Iranian Mines and Mining Industries Development and Renovation Organization (IMIDRO).
Indian mines have about 60 % of the coal blocked in the form of pillars. This investigation critically reviews the different practices of pillar design followed around the world in general and evaluates the existing practices of an Indian mine in particular. Geotechnical factors of a nearby underground coal mine has been determined in the
#0183;#32;Ding et al. (2015) performed a critical review on IoT application in underground coal mining and noted that the lack of lowpower intelligent sensors, mining environmental energy capturing technology, security networks for dataprotection, public service platforms and standard for underground IoT techniques limit further application of IoT technology in underground coal mine.
PILLAR EXTRACTION USING CONTINUOUS MINERS. Overview. Now that longwall equipment has been developed to a stage where it is able to cope with most conditions satisfactorily, longwall mining is the most widely used method of secondary extraction. However, there are still mines and occasions where longwall mining is not suitable
#0183;#32;Coal mining Coal mining Choosing a mining method: The various methods of mining a coal seam can be classified under two headings, surface mining and underground mining. Surface and underground coal mining are broad activities that incorporate numerous variations in equipment and methods, and the choice of which method to use in extracting a coal seam depends on many
#0183;#32;Coal bursts involve the sudden, violent ejection of coal or rock into the mine workings. They are almost always accompanied by a loud noise, like an explosion, and ground vibration. Bursts are a particular hazard for miners because they typically occur without warning.
Coal Mines Regulations Act of 1982 Section 138 of the New South Wales Coal Mines Regulations Act of 1982 was introduced in September 1994, to ensure proper consideration of three significant issues associated with the extraction of coal by means of underground methods (those methods other than the bordandpillar system
Depending on the depth of the deposit An accumulation of natural resources, such as oil, natural gas, coal, uranium, metal ore or another commodity..., coal Coal is ranked by its degree of transformation or maturity, increasing in carbon content from... is extracted from underground or openpit mines. In underground mines, vertical shafts are sunk and then galleries excavated horizontally.
#0183;#32;There are two main methods of underground mining: roomandpillar and longwall mining. Roomandpillar mining. In roomandpillar mining, coal deposits are mined by cutting a network of ''rooms'' into the coal seam and leaving behind ''pillars'' of coal to support the roof of the mine.
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 a ''pit'', and

BroadMeadow Coal Mine, Australia continuous miners were used to drive gateroads from highwall. In place JOY bolter miners and JOY shuttle cars are used to drive roadways. Retreat punch longwall panels were typically 320 m wide by 2100 m m seam section Beltana Coal Mine, New South Wales, Australia
Coal mining Coal mining Underground mining: In underground coal mining, the working environment is completely enclosed by the geologic medium, which consists of the coal seam and the overlying and underlying strata. Access to the coal seam is gained by suitable openings from the surface, and a network of roadways driven in the seam then facilitates the installation of service facilities
