underground coal mining methods

Underground Mining and Technology
BASIC MINING METHODS. Coal seams can be mined both by underground methods and surface mining methods depending on certain conditions, e.g., thickness and dip of the seam; depth of occurrence; the ratio of overburden to coal, etc. There are two basic underground coal mining methods. They are i) bord and pillar method, and ii) longwall method. Although the basic principles

The two major coal underground mining methods are pillar mining and long-wall mining. Both methods have different possible geomorphic impacts.

Most underground coal is mined by the room and pillar method, where by rooms are cut into the coal bed leaving a series of pillars, or columns of coal, to help support the mine roof and control the flow of air. Generally, rooms are 2,000 feet wide and the pillars up to 300 feet wide. At least 60 feet of coal was left between an underground mine and
