INTRODUCTION. The intended purpose of this Website is to provide a reference document for all aspects of underground coal mining in Australia (though there may be references to overseas practices where these could be of interest). The aim is to be of use to all levels of expertise from people with no, or at least a very limited knowledge of mining ...

Although longwall mining is used virtually exclusively to produce coal from un-derground mines in Europe, it accounts for only 5 percent of annual underground coal production in the United States. Longwall ...
Read MoreCoal gasification technology is the conversion of a carbonaceous material by reaction with oxygen and steam to produce synthesis gas (syngas) that is a feedstock to produce more valuable and higher quality liquid fuels such as diesel and kerosene. During gasification there are hundreds of simultaneous reactions taking place. However, the six principle heterogeneous and homogeneous reactions ...

At the beginning of the century, traditional pick mining with hand loading was nearly universal. Undercutting machines had largely replaced picks by 1930, when mechanical loading began the first great transformation of mining (figure 1) 1 ...

Read More2017-9-1 Underground coal thermal treatment (UCTT) is a recently proposed concept that offers the prospect of converting deeply buried coals into high-value hydrocarbon fuels that have less CO 2 emissions per energy content. In this process, the coal seam is heated by external energy and decomposition products are recovered in the form of gaseous and liquid fuels.
