They need various mining technologies which are appropriate to the respective technical features of mineral deposits Various technical aspects of mining engineering including mineral transportation are divided into two categories underground and surface mining Then various technologies and equipments in these two mining methods are described
Mining in India is having long history since ancient age; however nowadays India is implementing some of the cutting edge coal production technologies; such as Continuous Miner CM dedicated to
many industries In coal mining overexposure to respirable coal mine dust can lead to coal workers pneumoconiosis CWP CWP is a lung disease that can be disabling and fatal in its most severe form In addition miners can be exposed to high levels of respirable silica dust which can cause silicosis another disabling and/or fatal lung
coal industry employs two mining methods room and pillar mining and longwall mining Manual room and pillar mining method was developed and used ever since coal mining began in the 18th century Mechanized room and pillar mining began in the late 1920s and reached full mechanization in the late 1940s
• 33% of all Coal Production in the is from Underground Mines • 63% of all Coal Produced East of the Mississippi is from Underground Mines In all states east of the Mississippi except Indiana and Tennessee the majority of coal production comes from underground mining activities • 9% of all Coal Produced West of the Mississippi is
2 Underground Coal Mining Technologies Present Technologies Semi Mechanized Methods Currently most of CIL mines using Bord & Pillar remove coal from the face by blasting & deploy SDL or LHD for loading and transportation of coal in the active mining areas Coal transportation to surface is either by a series of belt
The following tasks are tackled 1 to show the role of mining enterprises in the movement of the region s economy towards a low carbon future 2 to determine the relationship between the coal
Development of underground coal mining is characterized by constant improving of mining machinery and mining processes see Fig 1 In the 40s 60s of the 20th century underground mines had quite a low level of automation Shearers and chain conveyors were just beginning to be widely introduced At

3 List of equipment used in opencast coal mining are 1 Bulldozer 2 Craper 3 Ripper 4 Tractor Shovel 5 Dipper Shovel 6 Stripper Shovel 7 Pull Shovel or Hoe 8 Dumpers or Tippers 9 Drag Line 10 Road Grader 11 Rock Drills Opencast mining is the oldest method of excavating minerals but the mining operations have been mechanised by the use of heavy earth moving
For this purpose 1st 2nd and 3rd level hazards consisting of location type and causes of accident were determined by using the data of fatal mine accidents in underground and open pit coal
For example in the US underground coal mining industry maintenance of mining equipmentaccountsfor over 30% of the total lost time injuries [1] Furthermore in regard to cost past experience shows that mining equipment maintenance costs range from around 20% to over 35% of total mine operating costs andare increasingsteadily [1]
The coal mining industry is currently facing challenges in terms of the establishment of export restrictions and the drop in coal prices In order to compete companies are required to increase their productivity and efficiency Optimizing heavy equipment productivity is an essential factor in improving cost efficiency

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
Maintenance management is also carried out in the coal mining industry In Indonesia one of the most important energy sources is coal Baskoro et al 2021 estimate that 30% of Indonesia s energy sources will come from coal by 2025 Since 2020 Indonesia s coal production has increased % from million tons to million tons

materials/equipments and environmental considerations The method offering the most reasonable and optimized combination of safe ty economics and mining recovery is then popular particularly in non coal mining Gravity can be utilized for ore transportation and broken ore stored within the stope may f unction as a working platform and
strip mining techniques may permit mining at depths up to 90 m In the Republic of South Africa as elsewhere surface mining has expanded tremendously over the past decade Although this trend is expected to continue for some time it must be realized that the majority of the world s coal deposits are accessible only by underground mining
Anticline An upward fold or arch of rock strata Aquifer A water bearing bed of porous rock often sandstone Arching Fracture processes around a mine opening leading to stabilization by an arching effect Area of an airway Average width multiplied by average height of airway expressed in square feet Auger A rotary drill that uses a screw device to penetrate
quality coal the majority of which is supplied to an adjacent power station The coal seems at SLE contain bands of ash which under normal mining conditions are extracted with the coal This increases the ash content of the run of mine coal and results in lower efficiency at the power station and financial penalties for SLE
