New Chemical Grouting Materials and Rapid Construction Technology for Inclined Shaft Penetrating Drift-Sand Layer in Coal Mine

Modeling Selenite Sorption in Reclaimed Coal Mine Soil Materials

An Innovative Longwall Mining Technology in Tangshan Coal Mine, China

In mining of inclined coal seams in Tangshan coal mine of Kailuan group, gateways on either end of a panel were both typically located along the floor and a gateway pillar between adjoining panels was left unmined between adjacent panels to ensure stability, thus forming a planar mining system. According to the practice, however, it turned out that this conventional mining system has long-stand...

Trial Chemical Grouting in Filter Materials at the Karkheh Dam Site, Iran

A sodium silicate-based chemical grout was used in the Karkheh dam site in order to examine the performance of the chemical grouting technique for stabilization of the dam's filter material. Karkheh, an embankment dam with the reservoir capacity of about 7.4 billion cubic meter at the maximum water level, is the largest dam in Iran. The grouting works performed at the dam site, were part of the...

Robust Thin Layer Coal Thickness Estimation Using Ground Penetrating Radar

One of the most significant goals in coal mining technology research is the automation of underground coal mining machinery. A current challenge with automating underground coal mining machinery is measuring and maintaining a coal mining horizon. The coal mining horizon is the horizontal path the machinery follows through the undulating coal seam during the mining operation. A typical mining pr...

The Intelligent Control System of the Freezing Station in Coal Mine Freezing Shaft Sinking

In order to address the issue of low degree of automation and huge waste of electric energy of the equipment in drilling engineering freezing station which adopts the freezing method of coal mine, we need to design an intelligent control system to control both the brine pump and double stage ammonia screw compressor. According to the actual cooling need in freezing project, this new system is a...
