ABSTRACT. Coal is a principal source of energy and the combustion of coal supplies around one-third of the global electricity generation. Coal mines are also an important source of CH 4 emissions, the second most important greenhouse gas. Monitoring CH 4 emissions caused by coal mining using earth observation will require the exact location …
Coal mining - Prospecting, Exploration, Mining: The fundamental objective of coal prospecting is to discover coal resources through a search. In areas where coal mining has not been previously practiced, the search process should result in obtaining coal samples that give reasonable evidence of the existence of a coal seam. Once a seam has been …

Strip Mining. In strip mining, the first step is to strip off the vegetation and soil in the vicinity of the surface to be mined for coal. The large intermediate layer of sediment and rock, i.e., the 'overburden' is then blasted and removed using large trucks. Once exposed, the underlying coal seam is excavated in strips and transported out ...
The global surface mining market was valued at USD 39.67 billion in 2021 and is projected to experience a revenue CAGR of 3.3% over the forecast period. The market growth is primarily driven by ...
Surface mining is a popular form of mining that means extracting minerals from near the surface of the Earth. Surface mining accounts for around 90% of the rock and mineral resources mined in the U.S. In fact, more than 60% of the nation's coal is produced by surface mining techniques. This is because removing the soil and overburden at the ...
Particulate matter (PM) is one of the main actors related to air pollution caused by surface mining. Fugitive dust, considered as particulate matter that cannot be collected by conventional measures, is classified by the particle size. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) categorizes PM as coarse and fine particles based on the …
