Definition of Longwall Mining • A high extraction method of mining along the face of a predefined block of coal, referred to as a panel, while allowing the immediate roof to collapse upon advancement • Panel Configuration – Panels generally range in size from 500 to 1,000 feet in width and lengths exceeding two miles
Longwall mining operations accounted for 57.9 percent of the State's underground coal production and 43.6 percent of the State's total coal production in 2014. … Longwall mining has become the predominate method of underground coal production in …
In a longwall mine, the objective is to develop, in each panel, a wide (600 to 1,200 ft. or more) and long (6,000 to 15,000 ft. or more) pillar in the first stage. This pillar will be recovered by the longwall method in the second stage, allowing the roof …
Longwall mining is a primary method for extracting coal from underground mines. As shown in Figure 1, three kinds of mining equipment used in the longwall face are a shearer, an armored face conveyor (AFC), and a …
To propose a support stiffness based method for improving the stability of coal wall, static stiffness of the support and fracture development of the coal wall are monitored during retraction period of a panel in the second coal mine of Zhaogu coalfield. It is revealed that the range of support stiffness falls between 50 and 450 MN/m. In face length direction, support …
Learn the basic principle, benefits and disadvantages of longwall mining, a method of secondary extraction that removes a rectangular block of coal in slices. Find out the factors that …
The longwall-mining method is a continuous mining system that was developed for mining coal deposits uniform in thickness and slope or where the overburden pressures may crush support …
With the third innovation in science and technology worldwide, China has also experienced this marvelous progress. Concerning the longwall mining in China, the "masonry beam theory" (MBT) was first proposed in the 1960s, illustrating that the transmission and equilibrium method of overburden pressure using reserved coal pillar in mined-out areas can …
Longwall mining method . includes drivage of two . long roadway s in coal . and joining them at the . end by a perpendicular . drivage forming a face. Longwall General Layout. Prof. Dr.
Longwall mining is a primary method for extracting coal from underground mines. As shown in Figure 1, three kinds of mining equipment used in the longwall face are a shearer, an armored face conveyor (AFC), and a roof support system.The shearer moves back and forth along a rail connected to the AFC, while the roof support system maintains the stability of the …
Longwall mining represents a highly efficient method of coal extraction, distinguishing itself through its technique, productivity, and significant contribution to the coal …
The Joy Ripper (1948) was the first continuous miner applicable to the room-and-pillar method. Origins of longwall mining. The other principal method of modern mining, longwall mining, had been introduced as early as the 17th century and had found general use by the 19th century, but it had long been less productive than room-and-pillar mining.
In top coal caving mining, the bottom 2.5-4 m (8.1-13.1 ft) of the seam is extracted by the conventional longwall mining method and the remaining roof (top) coal is naturally caved behind the shield. In this method, there are two armored face conveyors (AFCs) at the longwall face, the front one located in front of the shield legs is operated ...
Longwall mining is an efficient mining method and using the right equipment can make it even more profitable. Joy longwall systems incorporate shearers, roof supports, face conveyors and more into one system that can be tightly orchestrated by advanced electronics — including cutting-edge automation.

When the longwall mining method is used at great depths, ventilation, ground control, and operational considerations all influence the design of longwall panels. This paper examines these ...
The LTCC method has proven advantageous over the multi-slice longwall method and other thick seam underground mining methods, including High reach Single Pass Longwall mining (HRSP). The lower height of the face in LTCC facilitates comparatively low-cost equipment and offers better face conditions.
The longwall coal mining method started about 175 years before appearing in Illinois. Mining historians find that the longwall method started in Great Britain in the late 1600s in Shropshire County (Galloway 1882, Hatcher 1993). Flinn (1984) notes that from 1700 on, in Great Britain, there was a national trend away from room-and-pillar mining ...
The longwall mining method with roof-cutting unloading was proposed recently and applied to various coal mines in China, on a preliminary basis. According to this method, a pre-fracturing, by blasting in a specific direction, is performed on the goaf-area roof, and it is used to cut off the transfer of stress from the rock beam in the goaf zone
Two dominant methods together account for the vast majority of underground coal mining: "room and pillar" and "longwall" mining. In room and pillar mining, seams of coal are mined partially, leaving large pillars of coal intact to support the overlying layers of rock.Mining by this method creates a network of alternating open spaces and large pillars of coal (Fig. 19.4(a)).
The non-pillar longwall mining by roof cutting without pre-excavated entry (N00 mining method) is one of the latest non-pillar mining methods and this method has the advantages of reduced roadway ...
Longwall mining causes permanent geological changes on Illinois land that affects the efficiency and yield of family farms for generations to come. Even further, coal operators are required to provide a "description of methods to be employed to minimize damage from planned subsidence" but that support often falls through. Coal operators ...
An alternative method of mining is advance longwall mining. In longwall advancing, the longwall face is set up a short distance from the main development headings. The gate entries of the longwall face are formed as the coal is mined. The gate roadways are thus formed adjacent to the goaf. Normally the gate roads are protected from the goaf by ...
The mechanised method of longwall mining was first introduced to Australia in 1963 and currently (2005)there are 27 longwall faces operating in Australia. Production from Australia's longwall faces represented 18% of Australia's raw black coal production of 398 million tonnes in 2005. This percentage accounts to 89% of Australia's total ...
