China suffers the worst coal mine disasters in the world. Lots of miners lose their lives or suffer occupational injury. Fortunately, China is developing vigorously intelligent coal mining, which is the combination of traditional coal mining and the latest technology. Mining expects to relieve or solve coal mine safety, health and intensive labor issues …Web

Thin-seam or low coal mines are located almost exclusively within the southern Appalachian coal fields. And, in fact, 96 percent of small thin-seam mining operations are located in three states: Kentucky, West ia, and ia. The proportion of total U.S. underground bitumi nous coal being produced from thin-seam mines appears to haveWeb

efficient to extract thin seam coal. Drill and blast methods need reasonable heights and space and currently the equipment on the mine is too high for the thin seam areas. Drill and blasting below the parting causes it to break and separate which defeats the whole object of excluding the sandstone from the R.O.M. The eM operation wouldWeb

A new coal mining machine that was going to pull some 40 million tons of coal from the Appalachian coalfields by 1986 has had more than its share of start-up problems. The machine, known as the Thin Seam Miner (TSM), is a $2.7-million auger-type mining machine that is designed to bore 220 ft into new or abandoned highwalls (CA 5/82 p. 106).Web
