Based on the data of geological drill holes, roadway drifting, transient electromagnetic exploration, mine water inrushes, hydro-geochemistry and water levels on each side of the Haotang Normal Fault, this paper studies the waterbearing capacity and water conductivity of the fault in the Pingdingshan Tian’an Mining Company Limited No. 7 Coal Mine. The results indicate that the Haotang Fault is ...

Land surface deformation can be caused by underground mining activities. The maximum subsidence normally occurs directly above the location of the excavation of the coal seam. In the case where the longwall mining technique is applied, the magnitude and shape of the subsidence bowl are constrained by the longwall structure (pillar). This paper describes the use of satellite radar interferometry...

The detection of coal/shale interfaces close to the surface using ground penetrating radar (GPR) is difficult because the echo is drowned in unwanted signal components. These components are susceptible to changes in amplitude and cannot be removed well by standard preprocessing techniques. Second order correlation based methods such as matched filtering fail to locate the echo reliably under th...

The underground coal gasification (UCG) process represents a modern and effective mining technology that enables energy extraction through thermic decomposition. is transformed into syngas by oxidizers (e.g., air, technical oxygen, or water steam) injected georeactor. produced exhausted on the surface, where it desired form of energy. This paper presents an experimental study two experiments pe...

Fourteen samples of No. 6 coal seam were obtained from the Chuancaogedan Mine, Jungar Coalfield, Inner Mongolia, China. The samples were analyzed by optical microscopic observation, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope equipped with an energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer (SEM-EDS), inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF) ...

Abstract Drilling along the coal seam is an effective method for large-scale gas control. The distribution law of stress field determined by parameters affecting drilling seam, thereby drainage effect seam. In order to study and borehole residual plastic zone, radius softening radial displacement body on hole wall axial range are used construct calculation model sealing length; strength establi...

Coal quality-tonnage curves are helpful tools in optimum mine planning and can be estimated using geostatistical simulation methods. In the presence of spatially cross-correlated variables, traditional co-simulation methods are impractical and time consuming. This paper investigates a factor simulation approach based on minimization of spatial cross-correlations with the objective of modeling s...

The conventional practice in open cut coal strip mining has been to blast the overburden or coal layers in separate blast events. This is done in order to maximise the benefits from throw blasting and also to limit coal losses. Each blast event usually has a particular design of hole diameters, burdens and spacings, explosive charges and blast timing in order to achieve the required blast outco...

Permeability is an important parameter in the process of coalbed methane exploitation. To improve production efficiency and explore control mechanism gas flow law coal, permeability helium nitrogen same coal sample was tested under different effective stress (the difference between external pore pressure mass) by using seepage device. Based on theory, interaction stress, adsorption effect Klink...
