COAL MINING METHODS Surface Mining In surface mining, the ground covering the coal seam (the overburden) is first removed to expose the coal seam for extraction.
At present, the first coal seam in the western mining area has been exhausted, and the mine is gradually mining the lower coal seam 9. During the mining process of shallowburied and close ...
Methane gas in coal formations was generated at the same time the coal was formed, when plant debris (such as that found in swamps) slowly changed into coal after being buried and covered for a long time through a process known as coalification. Online Training

Coal and gas outbursts are a potentially fatal hazard that must be managed when mining gassy coal seams. Mininginduced stress plays an important role in outbursts, while elastic potential is accumulated to provide energy for an outburst. In this study, a largescale true triaxial (LSTT) apparatus was developed to conduct experiments and to understand the outburst mechanism and mininginduced ...
Owing to the exhaustion of shallow coal resources, deep mining has been occupied in coal mines. Deep buried coal seams are featured by the great ground stress, high gas pressure, and low permeability, which boost the risk of gas disasters and thus dramatically threaten the security about coal mines. Coal seam gas pressure and gas content can be decreased by gas extraction, which is the primary ...

Recovery of coalbed methane (CBM) from coal seams can not only benefit mining safety, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and also increase clean energy supply (Karacan et al., 2011; Moore, 2012).In the Junggar Basin, the CBM resources have been estimated at trillion cubic meters, which is the third largest CBM basin in China after the Qinshui Basin and Ordos Basin (Fu et al ...
Coal seam gas formation. During coalification, large quantities of methane are generated. This gas is adsorbed onto the coal surface in cleats and pores, and is held in place by reservoir and water pressure. Coal rank, reservoir pressure (related in part to depth) and temperature are important factors controlling the amount of methane held in a ...
