Longwall Top-Coal Caving: A productive and efficient alternative. In the right conditions, longwall mining is one of the safest, most productive and most efficient ways to produce coal. This is owed in part to the high degree of automation employed by modern longwall operations, which keeps shearers and roof supports advancing smoothly and people far from the dangers of the face. However ...

Underground hard rock mining refers to various underground mining techniques used to excavate hard minerals, usually those containing metals such as ore containing gold, silver, iron, copper, zinc, nickel, tin and lead, but also involves using the same techniques for excavating ores of gems such as diamonds or rubies. Soft rock mining refers to excavation of softer minerals such as salt, coal ...

3-D numerical modelling of stresses around a longwall panel with top coal caving by N.E. Yasitli* and B. Unver* Synopsis There is a considerable amount of lignite reserve in the form of thick seams in Turkey. It is rather complicated to predict the character-istics of strata response to mining operation in thick seams. However, a comprehensive evaluation of ground behaviour is a prerequisite ...

In top coal caving mining, the bottom 2.5-4 m (8.1-13.1 ft) of the seam is extracted by the conventional longwall mining method and the remaining roof (top) coal is naturally caved behind the shield. In this method, there are two armored face conveyors (AFCs) at the longwall face, the front one located in front of the shield legs is operated like conventional longwall mining, while the rear ...

Longwall top-coal caving is distinctly different from slice mining in thicken seam. Concerns of safety and productivity for this method have been raised in recent years. This paper will discuss the following: (1) how to recognize the law of fire-damp emission, accumulation and outburst; (2) how to resolve the ventilation problem in a highly gassy working face; (3) how to recognize the law of ...

Introduction. In China, coal is the main energy source, accounting for about 70% of primary energy production and consumption 1, 2.Since top coal caving mining method has the advantage of high-production, high-efficiency, low development ratio, and low-coast, it has developed rapidly in the past two decades and become the most extensively used mining method in China 3 – 7.

A good understanding of the caving mechanisms of loose top-coal is significant for longwall top-coal caving (LTCC) mining. In this paper, the equations of the particle motion, top-coal boundary, and drawing body were derived based on the stochastic medium theory. Then, the particles moving boundary and the shape of the top-coal loss were discussed, and the dynamic evolvement of the top-coal ...
