and products. Minerals such as coal, lignite, oil and natural gas constitute fuel and vital energy resources. As is the case with every other sector, the mining industry is also faced with challenges stemming from globalization. Although demand for minerals and allied products is steadily increasing owing to population growth, the dynamic nature
Coal mining can also cause surface subsidence and vegetation degradation. The annual land damage area due to coal mining is about 7.0 × 10 4 hm 2, while the surface ecological restoration rate remains less than 30% (Yuan 2017). Therefore, the contradiction between coal development and ecological environment protection is acute, and the ...

Program of networked remote inspecting technology on basis of IOT was proposed, which provides a new way for innovating supervising way, thereby working effectiveness of supervision against coal mine can be enhanced, and serious situation of safe production in coal mines can be improved, finally safe and stable development of coal industry can ...
Smart mining: Extracting the power of AI. With one-third of its underground land mass covered with coal deposits, coal mining is the lifeblood of China's Shanxi province, providing half of its revenue and 1 in 20 jobs.
reclamation of coal mining sites on federal, nonfederal, and tribal lands in the United States. In addition to the requirements in SMCRA, coal mining operations may be subject to additional state and federal laws, such as permitting under the …
The article describes a problem of considering the coal strata bedding for the scheming of dragline mining technology for open pits developing flat seams. For three flat coal seams strata processing the main criterion defining the choice of technology of their processing is the stratigraphic positioning rate for the middle coal seam. It is the ratio of the upper and lower …

Although Germany's coal industry produced less saleable coal (roughly 79 mt) in 1984 than in 1983, it was able to increase sales of coal and coke by …
Information technology has brought gains in productivity and market share in every field of industry. We are now living in the age of information. Mining operations are complex and they are composed by a group of physical, mechanical and logistical activities offering a vast field for development of automation and information technology.
Technology for mining thin coal seams (less than 1 meter thick), particularly thin-seam longwall technology, would be beneficial. In view of the extreme difficulties for workers in such a constricted environment the technology for thin-seam longwalls must include as much automation, remote control, and autonomous operation as possible.

Surface mining of coal requires areas of land to be temporarily disturbed, which raises a number of environmental challenges. As coal mining is only a temporary use of land, a rehabilitation or reclamation plan is designed for each mine covering the period from the start of operations until well after mining has finished.
The latest technology trends in mining indicate a compelling industry shift towards sustainability. Digital technology works harder than ever to deliver a truly modern, safe, and productive mine that addresses the increased demand for mined materials, while at the same time exceeding customer expectations and global sustainability initiatives .
