As shown in Fig. 1, research predicts that the absolute total amount of coal consumption will keep relatively stable, and the proportion of coal consumption in primary energy source is gradually decreasing but remains above 50% [2].Growth in global coal demand slows sharply relative to the past (0.2% p.a. versus 2.7% p.a. over the past 20 …
Longwall mining is a form of underground coal mining where a long wall of coal is mined in a single slice, typically 0.6–1.0 meters thick. The longwall panel (the block of coal that is being mined) is typically 3–4 km long and 250–400 meters wide.
Since longwall mining consists of two parts: panel development and longwall mining (advance or retreat), in order to shorten the training period of miners, management decided to keep the room and pillar mining method for entry (gate roads) development, only adopting the longwall face equipment for mining. However, in order to meet the …
Coal mining - Prospecting, Exploration, Mining: The fundamental objective of coal prospecting is to discover coal resources through a search. In areas where coal mining has not been previously practiced, the search process should result in obtaining coal samples that give reasonable evidence of the existence of a coal seam. Once a seam …
To move materials around a mine site, workers need heavy-duty trucks. Also known as off-highway trucks, large mining trucks include both powerful mechanical models and environmentally friendly electric drive models.. Unlike conventional trucks, these mining vehicles have extra-large tires to support the heavy loads over uneven terrain commonly …
Designed as a 3Mt/y operation, Fording River began production in 1971 and made its first shipment of metallurgical coal in April 1972. Formerly Fording Coal Ltd's largest metallurgical/thermal coal mine, its primary product is high-quality metallurgical coal used to produce coke for the international steel industry.

Cavil Ridge is a high-quality, hard coking coal mine located in the Central Queensland region, Australia. The project site is situated in the northern section of the Bowen Basin, approximately 3.7 miles (5.95km) south-east of Moranbah and 100 miles (160.9km) south-west of Mackay.
In surface mining, the ground covering the coal seam (the overburden) is first removed to expose the coal seam for extraction. The elements of a surface mining operation are …
Coal mining relies on electric power and mine operators need access to a comprehensive range of equipment in order to keep their site ticking along smoothly. Over 800 of them across North America rely on Carroll Technologies Group for all of their mining electronics equipment needs.
Innovation plays a critical role in the mining industry as a tool to improve the efficiency of its processes, to reduce costs, but also to meet the increasing social and environmental concerns among communities and authorities. Technological progress has also been crucial to allow the exploitation of new deposits in more complex scenarios: …
