APPLICATIONS OF SIMULATION AND OPTIMIZATION TECHNIQUES IN OPTIMIZING ROOM AND PILLAR MINING SYSTEMS by ANGELINA KONADU ANANI A DISSERTATION Presented to
As a result we naturally mine trona from the ground using the Room and Pillar Method The Room and Pillar Method also referred to as the Pillar and Stall Method is one of the world''s oldest mining systems Dating beyond the 1840s this method has been commonly used in mining coal
Roomandpillar mining generally is limited to depths of about 1000 feet because at greater depths larger pillars are needed resulting in smaller coal recovery typically 60 of the coal in the affected area The "continuous" version of roomand pillar mining is the most common representing more than half of all underground production
In order to save the coal resources and enhance the recovery rate relieve the conflict in coal extraction maintain the sustainable development of coal mining a repeated or recycling mining is taken for the No 3 coal seam The previous roomandpillar mining has
The objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of panel width on the cost and productivity of a roomandpillar operation using discrete event simulation The mining system is modelled as a
The roomandpillar mining method is widely used in many coal producing countries including the US China India and South Africa 1–4 Compared with other underground mining methods roomandpillar mining can effectively control ground subsidence
TOWARD PILLAR DESIGN TO PREVENT COLLAPSE OF ROOMANDPILLAR MINES R Karl Zipf Jr Chief Catastrophic Failure Detection and Prevention Branch Roomandpillar mining accounts for a significant prevalence of shallow roomandpillar coal mines TRADITIONAL STRENGTHBASED PILLAR DESIGN METHODS
The Joy room and pillarentry development product suite is extremely robust including continuous miners entry development equipment haulage systems feeder breakers bolters and loaders All our equipment is designed to work seamlessly together as a system providing the
coal pillar design and behavior Morsy 2003 Zingano 2002 Peng 2008 and mining system simulation Peng 2008 Basically there are two ways to build a numerical model to study the behavior of the rock mass for coal mine ground control problems i build the model prior to mining
The room and pillar system is used in mining coal iron and copper ores mainly when found as manto or blanket sediments stone and aggregates talc soda ash and potash The key to the winning room and pillar mining is opting the optimum pillar size If the pillars are so small the mine will fall down
May 09 2018 · The room and pillar system is used in mining coal iron and base metals ores particularly when found as manto or blanket deposits stone and aggregates talc soda ash and potash History Room and pillar mining is one of the oldest mining methods Early room and pillar mines were developed more or less at random with pillar sizes determined
This paper discusses the use of the Simulation Language for Alternative Modelling SLAM II in the determination of the drivers of an underground roomandpillar mining system The mining operations included in the model consist of extracting loading and hauling of the coal using continuous mining equipment in a room and pillar system
Room and Pillar Mining is Safe Efficient Environmentally Friendly Room and pillar mining is a nonsubsidence plan for a mine preserving the precious farmland is among the safest and one of the most ecologicallyfriendly approaches to mining coal today creating a nonsubsidence environment no movement of land and maintaining clean water standards
Mining simulation for room and pillar coal operation – SciELO Keywords production simulation underground coal mining A coal cutter is used to create an extra free face which enhances blasting efficiency iii A face drill »More detailed
Underground Mining Methods Room and Pillar method Show full abstract bolterminers for coal mining and other continuous mining systems for both hard and soft rock This article details the
mining simulation for room and pillar coal AS a leading global manufacturer of crushing and milling equipment we offer advanced rational solutions for any sizereduction requirements including quarry aggregate grinding production and complete stone crushing plant
A key design aspect of roomandpillar coal mines is the panel width or number of entries in a panel which affects unit mining costs and productivity Traditional mine design approaches do not facilitate optimisation of unit mining costs and productivity as a function of the panel width
2011 Underground Coal Operators'' Conference The AusIMM Illawarra Branch 10 – 11 February 2011 83 CALCULATION OF SUBSIDENCE FOR ROOM AND PILLAR AND LONGWALL PANELS Anton Sroka12 Krzysztof Tajdus2 and Axel Preusse3 ABSTRACT A European method of surface subsidence calculation for partial room and pillar and longwall panel mining of coal deposit is presented
A model was proposed for the roomandpillar mining system aiming to maximize the extraction at all coal faces from a given panel The technique used was discreteevent simulation After constructed and validated the simulator proved to be effi cient to forecast daily ROM production
In mining Roomandpillar mining The most common mining system is roomandpillar In this system a series of parallel drifts are driven with connections made between these drifts at regular intervals When the distance between connecting drifts is the same as that between the parallel drifts then a Read More
New Underground Mining Simulators The Khutala Colliery mine is located 55km from Witbank in the Mpumalanga province and has 14 underground coal cutting sections in the room and pillar BHP has also acquired ThoroughTec''s complete CYBERMINE training suite for its South African mine MINING MAGAZINE – NOVEMBER 2013 ThoroughTec
Oct 01 2014 · Mining Project SelfEscape from Underground Coal Mines Training Initiative Screenshot of roomandpillar underground coal mine simulation This image depicts an active supersection highlighting the visual cues that mine workers may use to navigate around the section including lighting cables curtains and rock dust levels
In room and pillar mining seams of coal are mined partially leaving large pillars of coal intact to support the overlying layers of rock Mining by this method creates a network of alternating open spaces and large pillars of coal Fig 194a When mining in one part of the coal seam has been finished miners practice "retreat" mining
