Opencast coal mining causes serious damage to the natural landscape, resulting in the depletion of the carbon sequestration capacity in the mining activity. There are few studies on the variation of carbon sequestration capabilities caused by land use changes in opencast mining areas.
The Piparwar opencast mine in Jharkhand was once the largest coalproducing mine in the state and had damaged the local ecology. Now, after about 30 years of mining operations being started, the staterun Central Coalfields Limited (CCL), is carrying out reclamation and restoration in a part of the original mining area, to make it suitable for public use.
Coal is one of the most essential resources of a country. It is widely used for power generation and as a raw material in the industries. India ranks third in coal production. However, the country has to import coal in order to meet the rising demand for coal. In India, coal mining is conducted using two methods: underground and opencast methods.
The triangulated irregular network (TIN) clipping algorithm is one of the vital algorithms for the digital mining design of opencast coal mines based on the geological digital elevation model (DEM) described by TIN. This paper gives a precise TIN clipping algorithm applied in the digital mining design of the opencast coal mine. To improve the algorithm's efficiency, a spatial grid index is ...

The research object of this paper is road dust in opencast coal mines. International Organization for Standardization (ISO) regulations, dust is suspended solids with particle size less than 75μm, including and PM10. During the mining process of openpit coal mines, various techniques can generate dust.
9. SOME PREFERABLE HEIGHT FOR BENCHES Manual quarries: 3 to meters. Mechanised: > meters. Shovel 2m3: 6 to 8 meters. Shovel : About 12 meters. 13. BERM A Berm is a raised barrier served as a border barrier to prevent heavy vehicle accidents in opencast mines. Size: • Height: more than the diameter of Dumper wheel.
Coal mining is the process of extracting a coal reserve from the ground. As a commodity, coal is valued for its energy content and since the nineteenth century has been widely used to generate electricity and as a fuel source for the steel and cement industries. ... Opencast coal mining recovers a greater proportion of the coal deposit than ...
But open cast coal production moved in an increasing scale for development of higher capacity Heavy Earth Moving Machinery (HEMM) in the globe and its adoption in Indian Coal Mining Industry. In ...
The opencast coal mining complex extends. over two mines within the Witbank Coalfield, ... These sumps required a mud loading process prior to mining the coal below the sequence. The mud loading ...
Planning and managing equipment systems of surface mining are critical for achieving higher production and productivity. Poor performance of equipment systems can endanger the economic viability of mining operations [][].OB removal is a major process in the surface mining of coal, accounting for over 60% of the mining cost [4, 5].Dragline is predominantly used for overburden removal to ...

Coal mining process in Pingshuo opencast mine involves clearing the aboveground vegetation, removing the topsoil and overburden to access coal seams. The overburden, consisting of soils and rocks with large diameter, is transported and piled to form largescale dumps in Pingshuo mine with the application of topsoil that is characterized by ...
: OpenPit Mining. Openpit mining, or opencast mining is a surface mining technique of extracting rock or minerals from the earth by their removal from an open pit or borrow. This form of mining differs from extractive methods that require tunneling into the earth, such as long wall mining. Openpit mines are used when deposits of ...
Open Cast Mining. Open cast mining is usually associated with coal or other tabular deposits that are more or less flatlying. A significant difference between open pit and open cast mining methods is that in open cast mining, overburden that is removed to gain access to the ore is immediately placed in the previously mined cut.
Large amounts of waste can be produced in the process. Surface mining also can cause noise and disturbance, leave scars on the landscape and may pollute the air with dust (Bell and Donnelly ... Environmental impacts of opencast coal mining have been thoroughly investigated by many researchers and defined for the various stages of the coal fuel ...
In the coal mining process, elemental pollution is one of the most important environmental issues (Mileusnic et al., 2014). During the process of opencast and underground coal mining, various types of rocks and rock dusts with varied compositions are subjected to atmospheres and engage in accelerated weathering (Bhuiyan et al., 2010).
Bai Runcai et al. 6 took West No. 2 Opencast Coal Mine and Ulantuga Opencast Coal Mine as the object of his research, formulated a coordinated mining plan for the two mines' side gang pressed ...
Such work provides a theoretical foundation and technical support for systematic research on the process of land reclamation in large opencast coal mines (Song et al., 2020). In general, the important roles of monitoring and evaluating the land reclamation effects at different stages in guiding the ecological restoration of degraded mining ...
The coal industry serves a vital role in the nation's economy by producing fuel for more than half of its electricity. Despite the industry's importance, industry financial data for 2005—the strongest year for the coal industry in recent years—shows that it is a relatively small industry with revenues totaling 20 billion to 25 billion and net income between 1 billion and 2 ...
Largescale opencast coal mining results in the severe destruction of original ecosystems, as well as changes in land use. ... In the mining process, topsoil is removed, topography and geological structures are changed permanently, and surface and subsurface hydrology regimes are disrupted (Zhou et al., 2017). The arid and semiarid continental ...
Opencast coal mining: process and method Opencast mining, a method of mining introduced in 1942 to maintain coal supplies du ring the Second World War, is a quarrying method that is viable where a coal seam is relatively near the land surface or where a pit can expose a number of seams within an acceptable depth (normally up to 100m in the UK).
Opencast coal mining activities result in severe degradation of land resources and ecological environment (Wang et al. 2016).In the process of opencast mining, topsoil overlying the coal are stripped and deposited on damlike dump with largescale heavy machinery (Krummelbein et al. 2010).The compaction effects are intensified by the large tires of crawlers and dump trucks going back and forth.
Ideally, opencast mining requires longterm planning within a strong policy framework. Naturt therefore strongly welcomes the recent strengthening of the policy framework for regulating the opencast coal industry in Scotland heralded by NPPG 16. Natut's approach to opencast coal developments recognises the need for a continuing supply ...
The opencast mining actions are the main reasons for forest cover reduction and forest fragmentation since most of the mining sites are found inside the dense, interior, and biodiversityrich areas of the forests (Sonter et al., 2017). ...
