Mining 101

Underground mining coal extraction methods can generally be divided into two categories: room and pillar mines and longwall mines. The type of extraction practiced is dictated by the characteristics of the coal seam and its related geology. Generally, longwall mining is restricted to seams with uniform geology and coal seam thickness …

Evaluation of different methods of pillar recovery in coal mining …

Most mining engineers decide to extract pillars to decrease the loss of coal in room-and-pillar mining. There are a few basic methods of pillar recovery and a number of variations for each, among which the four techniques of 'pocket and wing', 'open ending', 'split and fender', and 'Christmas tree' are most widely practiced in the industry.
