The nation's standard of living depends on its quantum of production and use of natural resources, including coal. Coal plays a major role in the development of a country like India. India has great potential of producing coal economically. Unfortunately, even after the nationalisation of 50 years of major Indian coal mines, we still have lower …
Once the deposit has been fully mined, perhaps the most common option is "retreat mining." This method has been criticized in recent years because it's extremely risky both to workers and local geology..

opencast pillar mining in previously mined underground bord and pillar workings by P.L.

The study focuses on the implementation of mass production technology using a Continuous Miner (CM) with an increased cutting height to extract a 5.4m thick coal seam in a single pass (CIMFR Report, 1999). The seam has a remarkably short incubation period of just three months and is developed along the floor in a Bord and Pillar pattern.
CW: The primary benefit of bord and pillar mining is that for an equivalent production the capital cost of a bord and pillar operation would be 45% to 65% of that of a longwall mine. The operating costs may be 30% to 60% more than a longwall, but the risks are significantly less and production variances are very low compared to longwall.

As stated above, most of the underground coal production in India is made, mainly, by pillar formation. Therefore, underground extraction of standing pillars is the …
The current trend in coal production in India shows that underground mining contributed less than 5–8% of the total coal produced. ... the majority of underground coal mines were developed by Bord and Pillar (B&P) method in which the size galleries are restricted to 4.8 m × 3 m which is unfavourable to deploy larger continuous mining ...
After pillars have been formed on the Bord and Pillar system, consideration has to be given to the extraction of coal pillars; the operation is known as pillar extraction. It is also referred to as
Bord and Pillar mining method). In which we have analyzed from the below-mentioned seams in mine they are, 1 seam average thickness of 2.5 mts to 3.30 mts. 2 seam average thickness of 2.5 mts to 3.30 mts. 3 seam average thickness of 3 mts to 3.60mts. 2. DIFFERENT TYPES OF VENTILATION SYSTEMS

The UG2 reef was chosen for bord-and-pillar application due to its higher reef width, which implies less dilution. There are two current bord-and-pillar projects at Amandelbult, 16 West and 43 East. This project is aimed to design a bord-and-pillar layout section for the lower part of the farm Vlakpoort and the upper
The T-cut mining method is basically a partial pillar extraction method. The pillar (13 m x 13 m) created by the bord and pillar development is being stoped (only the UG2 reef) out for 2 m from the roadways on all sides, to leave an effective pillar of 9 m x 9 m. This method creates the required, higher extraction percentage and higher Run of
Bord and pillar mining The following methods are commonly used in bord and pillar method for development and depillaring using continuous miner: Development 1. Bord and pillar method Depillaring 1. Split and Fender system 2. Nevid method of mining Continuous miner A continuous miner is a large steel drum equipped with a

The current trend in coal production in India shows that underground mining contributed less than 5–8% of the total coal produced. ... Bord and pillar in India adopted induced caving of roof ...
At present, production by longwall mining accounts for a minor amount of total underground mining production with the majority coming from bord-and-pillar methods. Since it is envisaged that longwall mining will require time to become established in India, bord-and-pillar methods will continue to be dominant in the foreseeable future.
High-production methods like longwall mining with hydraulic powered supports are necessary to increase underground coal production in India. Longwall mining had a mixed success record for Indian geo-mining conditions. In this paper, an analysis is presented to optimally design an array of chain pillars in multi-seam longwall mining …
