A case study is conducted of an open-pit coal mine in South East Queensland, Australia. Comprehensive sensitivity analysis is presented to verify and validate that the model and solution technique provide valuable opportunities for supporting energy-e ciency improvements both at the case-study mine and for open-pit coal mines in general.
At present, the open-pit coal production of China ranks second in the world (Wang Citation 2014) and is developing toward a large-scale direction.It has been proven that large-scale open-pit coal fields are concentrated in Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, and other ecologically vulnerable areas (Jiskani et al. Citation 2021).Green mining is the theme of …
According to the problems caused by the steeper anticline developed within the boundary of the open-pit coal mine, corresponding solutions are proposed in this paper. Among them, to fully release the internal dumping space, an innovative layout and development mode of the stripping and mining working line in the steeper anticline …
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 …

In the context of sustainable development, revitalising the coal sector is a key challenge. This article examines how five innovative technologies can transform abandoned or in-use coal mines into sustainable energy centres. From solar thermal to compressed air energy storage, these solutions offer a path to a more sustainable …
The annual production of the Heidaigou open-pit coal mine reached 25 Mt/a in 2006 after capacity expansion and renovation, making it the largest open-pit coal mine in China . The secondary expansion and renovation project of Heidaigou Coal Mine began construction in June 2011, and the raw coal production capacity was increased to 34 Mt/a.
With digital twin technology, the solution provides map services, spatial data services, and 3D services based on SuperMap iServer to reproduce the real scene of open-pit coal mines. At the beginning of the mining project, the terrain data can be imported, and geographical grids of different degrees of fineness can be constructed according to ...
Surface mining is frequently classified into open pit and strip mining based on the type of the deposit. Strip mining is a mining method that is commonly implemented to flat and tabular deposits such as coal and is generally considered as being safer and economically efficient compared with underground mining.
Long-term continuous monitoring of the mining activities in open-pit coal mines is conducive to planning and management of the mining operations. Additionally, this faciliatates assessment on their environmental impact and supervises illegal mining behaviors. Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) technology can be …
The Chenbaerhuqi coal field in Hulunbuir City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of China, is where the Baorixile open-pit coal mine is situated (as shown in Fig. …
While application of such technologies can be limited at operations such as open-pit mining, there are opportunities to implement mitigation technologies in underground mining to reduce GHG ...
The longwall mining method was used and the whole seam thickness was mined by top coal caving method.LW130602 is mining 6# coal seam.The current …
Evident in the distribution of open-pit and underground mines, excavation type, and to a lesser extent mine depth and fugitive methane, drives variations in emissions intensity for metallurgical coal operations (Exhibit 2). When coal is mined, the surrounding methane that developed as the coal formed over time is released into the atmosphere.
Sources of emissions include seepage from coal seams exposed in surface or open pit mines; drainage systems used to reduce the methane content of coal deposits; …
the only solution purpose built for the mining industry. There is no other solution that can match the 45+ years RPM have focused on to deliver the industry standard today. Underpinning RPM's Open Pit Metals Solution (OPMS) is a powerful scheduling engine that does all the heavy lifting without compromising sophistication and capabilities.
Jun 20, 2024 2:14 PM CEST. Watch 01:47. The energy transition relies on materials and minerals that are frequently mined in open pits. develops equipment for surface …
Open pit mining method is one of the surface mining methods that has a traditional cone-shaped excavation and is usually employed to exploit a near-surface, nonselective and low-grade zones …
The particulate pollution in the open-pit coal mines of China is particularly severe in winter. The aim of this study is to understand the pollution characteristics of particulate matter (PM) in winter and provide a basis for the prevention and control of particulate pollution. We took the problem of PM concentration at the bottom of the …
There are four main mining methods: underground, open surface (pit), placer, and in-situ mining. Underground mines are more expensive and are often used to reach deeper deposits. Surface mines are typically used for more shallow and less valuable deposits. Placer mining is used to sift out valuable metals from sediments in river channels, …
