Blasting in Coal Mines •Modern mechanised coal mines use machines and longwall mining methods to cut solid coal and convey the broken coal out of underground workings. •Continuous mining equipment has escalated coal production and introduced more effective and efficient coal handling facilities.
China Coal Energy also conducts coal chemicals production, coal mining equipment manufacturing, pit mouth power generation, and coal mine design businesses. It owns 12 coal mines, 13 coal processing plants, 5 coking plants, 4 coal mining equipment manufacturing plants, and 2 mine design institutes, making it one of the leading coal mining companies in the world
From mining mega projects to pilot operations, Westpro has the capabilities to design and manufacture process equipment for any project scale. Mineral processing, also known as ore dressing, is the process of separating commercially valuable minerals from their ores. Mineral processing involves four general types of unit operation:
The equipment and process of the coal washing plant are related. The three most basic processes of the coal wash plant are the preparation work before the sorting (crushing, screening, grading), the sorting operation, and the processing of the selected products. At the same time, heavy medium coal preparation includes five major processes: coal

Classification of Underground Mining Methods Mineral production in which all extracting operations are conducted beneath the ground
Solution: Optimizing and simulating mining operations. Engineers from Genoa built a model of two open-pit coal mines. Overall, the model considered: 8 concurring mining fronts operating simultaneously. One loader per front. 80 trucks with various capacity, speed, and failure profiles. 10 different coal types (plys) One ROM (run-of-mine) pad
The difference between the injury rates per one million tons of coal production further demonstrates this point – underground mining is less favorable and accidents in underground mines tend to be more serious than for surface ©Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems (EOLSS) CIVIL ENGINEERING – Vol. II
Mining trucks, also called haul trucks or o -road trucks, haul the ore or waste material from the loader to a dumpsite. More commonly, these vary from 36 tons to 315 tons. The size and cost of operating mining trucks is directly proportional to its tray capacity, while the speed at which the truck can travel is inversely proportional to its
Blast mining: Blast mining uses explosives to loosen rocks and open mining spaces, especially to remove hard rock from both underground or surface mines. 10 Types of Heavy Equipment Used in Mining To understand the available options you have for machinery, here is a list of mining equipment used for surface or underground mining operations , plus their uses:
mine equipment. Our operational-level analysis has revealed that: • The global mining industry’s open cut equipment productivity has declined by around 20% over the past seven years despite a push for increased output (see Figure 3 of the main report) • Australian mining equipment appears to be run at a significantly lower level
In coal mining for example, displacement blowers are used to provide the needed air ventilation to mining sites. Methane Gas Extraction – Methane gas build up in a mine can be lethal. The risk for a static electric spark igniting methane as well as actually breathing the gas are both dangers for miners.
Produkcji, s. 639- 654. Abstract. The main task of the maintenance services in hard coal mines is to ensure continuous. operation of the equipment (machines). The measurable effect of these
4 | KPMG Mining Operational Excellence Framework Retaining cost leadership Increase in cost of operation due to escalation in raw material cost (e.g., explosive cost, electric power, etc.). Certain costs of operations such as wages, utilities, construction and maintenance costs are quite sensitive to possible general price increases.
Blast mining: Blast mining uses explosives to loosen rocks and open mining spaces, especially to remove hard rock from both underground or surface mines. 10 Types of Heavy Equipment Used in Mining To understand the available options you have for machinery, here is a list of mining equipment used for surface or underground mining operations , plus their uses:
Battery-driven mining equipment is often powerful enough to replace diesel-driven options. Replacing diesel engines with electric engines where possible can significantly reduce the amount of CO 2 produced by mining operations. In general, the mining industry is already moving in the direction of electric equipment, with more and more mining
Once coal removal is complete, final regrading takes place and the area is revegetated. The operation is required to reclaim the mine to "AOC" or "approximate original contours" unless this requirement has been waived by the agency that has granted the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA) permit for the operation.

Exxaro Mining Operations. As the country’s second largest earner (after gold), coal provides 6.1% of the country’s total merchandise exports. South Africa is fortunate to hold the sixth largest coal reserves in the world (estimated to total 31 billion tonnes of recoverable coal – 11% of the world’s total).
Underground mining operations around the world pose similar risks to worker safety and health. Though different techniques are used to extract base metals, precious metals, nonmetallic minerals, diamonds and coal, the hazards do not differ that much.

RAG Sales (RAG Verkauf) was for seventy years a marketer of domestic hard coal and once Germany’s largest coal importer. RAG Mining Solutions as of 2009 was tasked with selling the mining equipment no longer needed in the German coal industry to buyers mainly in China, Russia, Poland, Czech Republic, Australia, Ukraine and Turkey, generating more than 75 million euros, said RAG .
Underground coal and gassy mines where methane and combustible coal dust can accumulate represent potentially hazardous environments for certain electrical and mechanical components. So, the majority of equipment approved and certified by the A&CC are items related to conveyors, motors, diesel equipment, dust collection, hoses, batteries, electrical wiring, and flame-resistant components.
Blasting equipment is used for both underground and open pit mining operations and is known to be one of the most hazardous aspects of the job. For mining operations to be successful good blast designs are absolutely vital as poor practices and excessive explosives can result in damage to rock structures causing unwanted caving.
