Assessment of severe accident risks in the Chinese coal chain
Severe accident risks in China's coal chain were investigated in detail based on extensive statistics using Chinese sources that were not open until recently. Every year about 6000 fatalities occur in Chinese coal mines; about one third due to severe (≥ five fatalities) accidents. The Chinese severe accident fatality rate for the coal chain is 6.17 per GWeyr, which is about 10 times higher than ...

CSP and mining in Chile
With a mining industry that produces 35% of the world´s copper, it is imperative for Chile´s economic growth to produce energy from a source that is secure, dispatchable and unlimited. In an exclusive online webinar last week, hosted by CSP Today, experts discussed the positive impact that solar CSP could have on Chile’s mining industry. With many mining markets located in ...

Power generated from methane gas in disused mines in England
Type HOFGAS®-IPM/C 2500 Performance 2’500 Nm³/h / 520mbar dP Location England (GB) Situation Mine gas is released when coal is extracted. This gas is sourced not only from working coal mines but also from those that were closed down long ago. Because large quantities of coal remain in the mine after it has ceased production, mine gas is released afterwards. The high proportion of ...

The Mining Industry’s Role in a Zero-Carbon future
The global shift to cleaner energy to combat climate change has been driving industries to radically green their operations to economically thrive and remain relevant for years. The mining industry, however, is one of the most important industries that will help the world in achieving net-zero goals. A greener future is impossible without mining by-products as well as the sector’s adoption ...

How much money can you make from bitcoin mining?
The eyes of the world are back on the digital currency bitcoin, and with prices currently enjoying giddy highs, many of us are wondering whether it’s time to take the plunge and get involved. But there’s a problem: with prices rising, buying bitcoin is getting more expensive by the day, so is there a way to get involved in the sector without extensive knowledge and at a sensible ...

Investigation in to the causes of severe roof problems in some Indian coal mines and formulation of guidelines to reduce ground control problems
Severe roof stability problems are encountered in many of the Indian Coal Mine the cause of which could not be understood properly and thus no preventive measure could be taken. The discontinuous and random roof failure in the same stretch of level galleries/dip rises under the same geological conditions defied any logic. Actual stress measurement in two mines having such problems revealed ...

Methane De-Gassing in a Coal Mine
Aardvark Packers are used in coal mines to enhance operations and safety. They are used to de-gas, vent and direct methane gas away from new mine faces prior to mining to ensure as safe work environment. A typical 4-1/2” diameter hole in the face or in the ribs will be drilled. Sometimes, gel is injected into the borehole to isolate the gas. An Aardvark inflatable packer is inserted into ...

CSP could be the best energy solution for the mining industry
Chile could be the make or break of the concentrated solar power industry in finding a way to work closely with the mining industry. Many mining companies in the Great North would greatly benefit from being able to take advantage of an abundant and free solar resource that could eliminate reliance on expensive energy imports. As part of the inaugural CSP Today LATAM conference, CSP Today has ...

How do you transform a desert coal mine into an award-winning oasis? - Case Study
The Ukhaa Khudag coal mine lies in one of the harshest climate zones on the planet: the southern Gobi desert. In the winter, its pipelines and coal tailings dams would freeze. In the summer, much of its water would evaporate. Faced with these extreme conditions, the mine needed the most robust equipment available to conserve and reuse water from its tailings. Eight ANDRITZ SEPARATION belt ...

Development of algae–based technology to mitigate energy crisis in coal mining areas: a critical review
Algal biofuels around the world represent a sustainable pathway to meet increasing demand for fuel and clean energy with reduced environmental impact. More than half of that mass consists of lipids or triacylglycerides which are also found in vegetable oils and are used to produce such advanced biofuels as biodiesel, green diesel, green gasoline and green jet fuel. Algal remediation technology ...

Comparison of Gas and Water Pycnometry of Coal Mine Wastes
Coal mine washery wastes comprise two major components whose specific gravities differ markedly. Consequently, their specific gravity is much more variable than that of natural soils and is determined relatively frequently. The specific gravity of coal mine wastes is determined more rapidly and efficiently by gas pycnometry than by water pycnometry. However, the two methods give significantly ...

Hours of work risk factors for coal mining
This paper considers the principal variations in accident and incident risk in relation to roster design within the Australian coal mining industry. Analysing industry-wide accident and incident statistics for both a wide range of coal mine operating conditions and different roster patterns allowed for the impact of hours on shift, number of successive shifts and the type of shift to be ...

Planning the future of Botswana's coal
Botswana has vast proven deposits of steam coal, which, for a long time, the government has wanted to develop but without much success. The main objectives of this study are: to forecast possible coal exports from Botswana and the land routes for these exports; to determine the competitiveness of Botswana's coal in world steam coal trade; to make recommendations on the appropriate policy for the ...

How solar is transforming an old mining town
You hike over the crest of the hill and there it is: 96 sun-tracking solar masts, each with 42 solar modules — 4,032 modules in all — perched on the side of a hill with the beautiful Rocky Mountains in the background. It’s called the SunMine project and it’s all part of the reinvention of Kimberley, B.C., from mining town to a clean tech, tourism town of the future. ...
