  Detection of hydrological responses to longwall mining in an …

  2021121 · Abstract. Detecting the hydrological responses of overburden aquifers to mining disturbance is significant in groundwater resource protection and mining safety. Thus, an effective and economical method of tracking such responses is necessary. This paper uses time-series analysis and groundwater tidal-response analysis to identify and quantify ...

  Longwall mining - Global Energy Monitor

  202475 · Energy. Longwall mining is a form of underground coal mining where a long wall of coal is mined in a single slice (typically 1-2 m thick). The longwall "panel" (the block of coal that is being mined) is typically 3-4 km long and 250-400 m wide. Longwall mining produced 176 million tons of coal in 2007, about 15 percent of total U.S. production.

  Ultra-thick Seam Longwall Mining in China

  2017830 · Introduction Longwall mining is a widely used method for excavating mineral deposit seams. The cap strata above a longwall mined-out area will subside after undermining with different displacements and velocities, resulting in separations between the strata and fractures in those strata (Palchik, 2003).

  Using CO2 Fracturing to Weaken Roofs During the Initial …

  20231123 · During the initial process of mining a longwall working face, it is often found that the roof will not collapse readily, which increases the risk of later roof collapse disasters. Explosive and hydraulic fracturing are common roof weakening techniques; however, they have certain limitations. In the present study, CO2 fracturing was used for …

  Void fraction distribution in overburden disturbed by longwall mining ...

  201616 · Voids in overburden disturbed by coal mining provide channels for transfer of heat, methane, groundwater, oxygen, exhaust gas and fire-fighting materials in the underground environment. Based on expressions of strata and ground subsidence, a group of void fraction distribution models are proposed, including porosity in the caved zone, the …

  A Comprehensive Method for Subsidence Prediction on Two-Seam Longwall ...

  2019815 · The purpose of mining subsidence prediction is to establish a reliable assessment for surface subsidence resulting from underground mining. In this study, a new method for predicting subsidence in two-seam mining is proposed. First, the surface subsidence due to mining the upper seam is monitored. Then, taking the subsidence data …
