عرض المزيدOther underground coal mines are laid out in a checkerboard of rooms and pillars (Fig. 2), and the mining operation involves cyclical, step by-step mining sequences. The rooms are the empty areas from which coal has been mined, and the pillars are blocks of coal (generally 40 to 80 feet on a side) left to support the mine roof.
عرض المزيدCoal miners use two primary methods to remove coal. Surface mining is often used when coal is less than 200 feet underground. In surface mining, large machines remove the topsoil and layers of rock known as overburden to expose coal seams. Mountaintop removal is a form of surface mining where the tops of mountains are …
عرض المزيدUnderground mining, on the other hand, requires distinct equipment to dig tunnels and shafts to access the coal seam. Room and pillar mining leaves behind pillars of coal to support the roof of the mine while coal is extracted in a series of rooms. This method is less efficient than longwall mining, which involves using a continuous mining ...
