coal dust accumulating on elevated surfaces, the efficacy of wet rock dusting, and the need for mines to develop comprehensive rock dusting programs. Taken as a whole, this report provides proactive approaches to current rock dusting practices that will improve the application of rock dust in all underground areas of a coal mine. Introduction
A mining company will need tools for exploration, extraction, and remediation or reclamation at mining sites. Miners use hydraulic shovels called power shovels to dig out coal, clear debris, and remove rocks in surface and underground mining. Miners use a range of vehicles such as bulldozers, mining trucks, and loaders.
Coal remains a very important source of energy for the global economy. Surface and underground coal mining are the two major methods of coal extraction, and both have benefits and drawbacks. Surface coal mining can have a variety of environmental impacts including ecosystem losses, landscape alteration, soil destruction, and changes to surface and groundwater quality and quantity. In addition ...
mining, process of extracting useful minerals from the surface of the Earth, including the mineral, with a few exceptions, is an inorganic substance occurring in nature that has a definite chemical composition and distinctive physical properties or molecular structure. (One organic substance, coal, is often discussed as a mineral as well.) Ore is a metalliferous mineral, or an aggregate ...
