Water inflow was a very important problem in underground mining until James Watt invented the steam engine in the 18th century. After that, steam-driven pumps could be used to remove water from the deep mines of the day. Early lighting systems were of the open-flame type, consisting of candles or oil-wick lamps. In the latter type, coal oil, whale oil, or kerosene …
The intelligent fully mechanized mining equipment for thin-medium-thick coal seam and its optimal layout scheme are proposed.

Large-scale quarrying and open-cast mining for stone, sand and gravel, asphalt, and other non-coal resources began in the late 1800s with a great influx of people settling in Oklahoma and Indian territories. ... Large-scale surface mining commenced in the 1920s with the development of mechanized earth-moving equipment. By 1940 half of Oklahoma ...
understood. The layout is called Mechanized Breast Mining and is shown in Figure 1. Mechanized Breast Mining - then Mechanized Breast Mining was described as follows: • Carry the reef access on the reef horizon, rather than in the footwall. The major benefits are that we obtain current information on the orebody and the excavation pays for ...
Aiming at the serious problem of Salawusu formation aquifer damage caused by caving mining in Yuyang coal mine, the technique of mechanized backfill mining with Aeolian sand-like paste was invented.
With legions of elementary schoolers sifting through pans of sand and silt every year, the fascination for old world mining that sparked Charlie Chaplin's The Gold Rush hasn't disappeared. Old mining equipment and …
Equipment recovery passage (ERP) is being widely employed in longwall panel for the purpose of recovering heave mining equipment at the end of mining stage. The stability of the ERP, however, is always difficult to control although powerful supporting structures are employed, which restricts its further promotion. In the present paper, we focused on the ERP's …
