Coal production from the 36 longwall faces represented % of the 597 million tons of coal produced in the last year. Last year, two longwall mines ceased production and one new mine will start production later this year. The total number of faces dropped from 37 to 36 and the total number of longwall mines declined from 33 to 32.

Dust generation and its dispersion in a longwall mine pose significant health and safety issues. The concern is prominent at both the working face, where coal excavation exposes workers to high dust concentrations, and also in the return, where float dust accumulates. To address this issue, researchers at the University of Kentucky designed and fabricated a floodedbed dust scrubber integrated ...

Longwall mining is a highly productive underground coal mining technique. Longwall mining machines consist of multiple coal shearers mounted on a series of selfadvancing hydraulic ceiling supports. The entire process is mechanized. Longwall mining machines are about 800 feet (240 meters) in width and 5 to 10 feet ( to 3 meters) tall.

In methane seams, methane flows into the longwall face in two ways (Szlązak et al., 2005). It may be a direct inflow from the coal of the mined seam in each phase of the mining process (mainly, during mining and transportation of excavated material), and from the exposed solid coal of a longwall panel in the zone of operating pressure.

Longwall mining technology . Longwall coal mining is an extraction process in which large panels of a coal seam up to 7 m thick are completely mined in a series of slices. Fundamental equipment in modern longwall mining are the armoured face conveyor (AFC), powered supports and the shearer (coal cutting machine) (Figure 1).

In 2015, 40 longwall mines provided nearly 60% of the US coal production from underground mining methods. This represents a substantial yet gradual increase from just under 50% over the last 5 years. As a result of this increased production share, the percentage of groundfallrelated fatalities in longwall mines has also increased when compared to all US underground coal mines. Additionally ...

And the common site of these events are areas of the longwall mining goafs [1], [2]. In China, gassy collieries account for 70% of all stateowned underground mines [3]. In the process of mining these gassy mines, the gas is released into the goaf, and combines with fresh air leaking from the working face to the goaf, forming explosive mixture [4].

Hence this method is termed the longwall method. In simple words, longwall mining is a method of underground mining, in which coal is extracted from 60m to 200m long faces, moving continuously in one direction over large distances, leaving behind the goaf. The goaf is packed or allowed to cave. Longwall Mining is currently the main method of ...

Highwall mining is an adaptation of auger mining. Instead of an auger hole, an entry into the coal seam is made by a continuous miner, remotely operated from a cabin at the surface. The cut coal is transported by conveyors behind the miner to the outside. Using a television camera, the operator can see and control the miner's progress.
