MSHA News Release Posted: [November 27, 2023] Inspections resulted in 50 significant, substantial violations. WASHINGTON The Department of Labor announced today that its Mine Safety and Health Administration completed impact inspections at 13 mines in 10 states in October 2023, issuing 215 violations. MSHA began impact inspections after an April 2010 explosion in West Virginia at the ...
'Rathole' mining was used to extract coal from narrow and deep mines in Meghalaya. In January 2019, some 15 miners lost their lives when they were trapped for more than a month in one such mine.
Glossary: Mining Terms. Abutment In coal mining, (1) the weight of the rocks above a narrow roadway is transferred to the solid coal along the sides, which act as abutments of the arch of strata spanning the roadway; and (2) the weight of the rocks over a longwall face is transferred to the front abutment, that is, the solid coal ahead of the face and the back abutment, that is, the settled ...
Separately, coal mine explosions killed seven in Liaoning in June and 11 in Shaanxi in August. In February, a landslide at an openpit mine in Inner Mongolia left 53 dead, the nation's deadliest ...
Coal mines operated without electricity. Electricity began to be adopted in mining and manufacturing in the late 1880s and the 1890s. (Electricity was first introduced into Ohio's bituminous coal mines in 1889.) The introduction of electricity in coal mines greatly facilitated the introduction of laborsaving machinery. 1891.
Owing to the severity of coal mine gas explosion accidents, a case study of accident reports of coalmine explosions in China is carried out to illustrate the approach. ... machine learning, statistics, and data visualization, with the goal of discovering novel patterns and knowledge . Currently, a substantial volume of information on the web ...
the coal seam preliminary to blasting, during drilling of holes for placement of explosive charges, during blasting of the coal with explosives, during mining by continuous mining machines, and during loading and haulage. The total quantity of dust formed daily in the operation of coal mines may amount to as much as 3 to 5 percent of the total
This test rig is capable of applying a load of up to 240 psi over the entire face of a 4footwide by 6foothigh model seal. Preliminary analysis of test results suggests that plain concrete plugs about 8 to 10 feet thick and reinforced concrete seals about 3 to 4 feet thick are adequate to meet the new 120 psi coal mine seal design standard.

: The Continuous Mining Machine. A picture is worth a thousand words. so, let's look at the front of a continuous miner. The cutting drum is about 2' in diameter and perhaps 12' wide. It is laced with carbide cutting bits, and the drum rotates at about 1 revolution per second. The cutting head is sumped into the top of the seam ...
Explosives are not used during normal mining activities because the coal is extracted with a continuous mining machine. The section was retreatmining in a panel and plans had been made to move the belt and set up a new panel by February 1, 1997.
Preventing the propagation of methane or coal dust explosions through the use of active explosionsuppression systems remains one of the most underutilised explosion controls in underground coal mines. As part of the effort to develop better technologies to safeguard mines, the use of active barrier systems was investigated at Kloppersbos in South Africa. The system is designed to meet the ...
There are two main types of coalmine explosions: methane and coal dust. Methane explosions occur when a buildup of methane gas contacts a heat source and there is not enough air to dilute the gas level below its explosion point. Likewise, fine particles of coal dust in the right concentration that contact a source of heat can also be explosive.
Boundary Conditions. Air inlet and return air outlet are set as pressure outlet, and others are standard wall; According to the analysis and identification report of Chenjiashan coal mine gas explosion accident, the volume fractions of CH 4 and O 2 in the gas accumulation area are and, respectively. The burned area is a spherical area with a radius of m in the center of the gas ...
As one of the types of coal mine disasters and accidents, gas explosion is an important resistance affecting coal mine safety production. How to effectively identify gas explosion, find out the causes of gas explosion accidents, and make timely prediction and rectification is an urgent problem in coal mine industry. In this paper, the cause model of coal mine gas explosion is constructed based ...
Russian authorities released the names of 51 people presumed dead after a devastating methane explosion in a coal mine in Siberia, believed to be the country's deadliest mining incident since 2010.
Abstract. THE dangers due to the presence of inflammable gas and dust in the working atmosphere have led to the development of a special class of explosives for use in coal mines. In general these ...
Introduction. Coal is China's main energy source, accounting for more than 60% of the primary energy. The status of this subject energy will be difficult to change for a long time in the future. More than 90% of coal production in China comes from underground mining. Roadways are a necessary passage for coal mines.

Abstract. Coal dust explosions in underground coal mines are prevented by a generous application of rock dust (usually limestone). If an explosion should occur, the rock dust disperses, mixes with ...
Accidents occurred due to explosion after Nationalisation of Coal Mines (1973) in India are listed. Prevention and constructive measures adopted in India are critically analysed with respect to the global mining scenario.
The worst disaster caused by a coal mine explosion in the occurred in 1907 when 362 miners were killed in Monongah, WV. How is methane controlled from minedout areas? Coal mines generally have active mining zones and areas that were previously mined.
The Battle of Blair Mountain was the largest labor uprising in United States history and is the largest armed uprising since the American Civil War. The conflict occurred in Logan County, West Virginia, as part of the Coal Wars, a series of early20thcentury labor disputes in Appalachia.. For five days from late August to early September 1921, some 10,000 armed coal miners confronted 3,000 ...
Rather than harvest "rooms" of coal, leaving "pillars" of coal behind as support, longwall mining involves using a large bladed machine to shear off a slice of coal as wide as 1,200 to ...
