The present research was carried out to examine the health and environmental impacts associated with coal mining activities in Makarwal area Pakistan. To achieve objectives, 41 soil samples were collected from coalmine-affected areas analyzed for major toxic trace elements (TTEs) using atomic absorption spectroscopy. Most of have extremely high concentrations metals such as Ni, Cd, Cr, Cu, Zn, ...

subject analysis of the potential of spontaneous combustion in coal layers with analytical and numerical methods has been always considered as a difficult task because of the complexity of the coal behavior and the number of factors influencing it. empirical methods, due to accounting for certain and specific factors, have not accuracy and efficiency for all positions. the rock engineering syst...

Spontaneous combustion of coal is one of the most horrifying hazards in coal industries, especially in underground coal mines. Thus having a prior knowledge about the occurrence of this phenomenon in underground coal mines is of crucial importance in preventing this process, loss of life, huge economic loss, and environmental pollution. The aim of this work is to determine the spontaneous combu...

As a tool for exploration of concealed coal seams by modern techniques, determination of the depth of erosion of coal seams with reference to the surface of angular unconformity underlying the remnants of a key bed is conducted for the first time in coal mines of Kerman region. The angular unconformity surface (the initial surface exposure of coal seams) separates the coal seams of Jurassic age...

tabas mines in iran have coal sources which are suitable for use in metallurgy industries as coking coal. but the high sulfur content of this coal imposes severe limitations on its utilization as the sulfur oxide gases evolved from the combustion of high sulfur coals result in acid rains and corrosion of equipments. in this work, attempts have been made to reduce sulfur from high sulfur coal of...

the volumetric changes in the coal matrix (coal shrinkage), permeability under various gas environment conditions as well as perographical properties were studied in the laboratory. the shrinkage and permeability of coal were examined with respect to changing gas type and confining pressures. the shrinkage tests were carried out in high-pressure bombs while the permeability study was conducted ...

The Outburst can be defined as a sudden release of coal and rock accompanied by large quantities of gas into the underground coal mine workings which represents a major hazard in underground coal mines. Gas drainage has been proven to be successful in reducing outburst hazards by decreasing the in-situ gas pressure. One of aspect of gas drainage from coal seams is coal matrix volume changes. Cu...
