In order to study the wind flow field and dust transport law of comprehensive mining work surface, taking 21103 working surface Hulusu Coal Mine as research object, SolidWorks was used establish model, under different inlet speed conditions simulated analyzed by Fluent. The results show that due existence high-speed belt, is mainly distributed near downwind side surface; when 2.5m/s, mass conce...

Material excavation is the primary activity in surface mining operations; and shovel excavators are the primary production equipment in mining industry. The active population of cable shovels is about 2400 units around the world out of which 1700 are 20mt or larger capacity (http://parkerbaymining.com/mining-equipment/ electric-shovels.htm). Joy Global (P&H), Caterpillar (formerly under Bucyrus...

Forecasting of underground pressure for working surface (UPWS) plays an important role in mining technology industry for safety production. The characteristics of UPWS include roof lithologic, mining height of coal seam, geological structure, mining depth, promoting speed of working surface, influence of mining, etc. These factors directly affect the difficulty of forecasting trends in this fie...

The defection of single data source can be solved with fusion between TM and SAR images. It provides a better solution for land surface monitoring in the mining areas. Results of experiment showed that the fusion images can be integrated the advantages of each one, enhanced the recognition ability of features, improved land use/land cover classification accuracy. Further discussed the method of...

The history of mining disasters includes cases of subsidence and collapse into workings, and also a number of inrushes into underground mines, where deficiencies in surveying, or in maintenance and interpretation of plans, were prime factors. The most recent incident in Australia was at the Gretley Colliery in NSW, in 1996. The most recent such incident in the USA was at the Quecreek Mine in So...

An extensive finite element analysis of stability of mining openings at the uranium mine GEAM D. Rož́ınka was firstly performed in the years 1996-2002, see Fig. 1. The final conclusions of this analysis advocate the use of a new mining technology (underhand stoping) and safety of mining in greater depths 950-1100 meters under the surface. At present, due to the price increase of the uranium, the...
