Acid mine drainage (AMD) occurs naturally in abandoned coal mines, and it contains hazardous toxic elements in varying concentrations. In the present research, AMD samples collected from an abandoned mine were treated with ...

Effective control of roof strata is very important for trouble free operation and regular face advance in mechanised longwall workings. It is now technically possible to exploit coal seams in difficult geo-mining conditions ...

Electrochemical and physiochemical studies on the effects of thiadiazole derivatives in corrosion inhibition of Muntz metal in sulfide-polluted marine environment

Bord and pillar mining is the predominant method for extraction of coal from underground in India. Strata control is a major problem affecting safety and productivity of the mine. In conventional method of extraction worked ...

Dump slope stability is critical in the design and operation of any open pit mines having significant impacts on safety and on the economics of an open pit project. The issues related to the stability of dumps is catching ...

Despite being a versatile and low-cost method, rock blasting produces undesirable severe effects. The pre-sent study aims to examine the ground vibrations pro-duced by blasting, which are of serious concern to mine operators ...

Electrical resistivity (Geoelectrical) methods are well-known and common techniques for investigating the groundwater potential zone. These methods are economically viable and have the highest resolving power compared with ...

A large volume of overlying waste material is removed to access deep-seated mineral deposits and stored near mines or eventually dumped as backfill. Overburden is stored in stacked dumps due to space constraints and high ...

Reservoir water is one of the essential sources of water which plays a significant part in not only contributing a sufficient supply of water for industrial operations but it also acts as a source of drinking water. ...

Acid mine water bodies are one of the severe environmental problems in many mines including coal mines all over the world. This problem is also found in a few coal and metal mines of India. In coal mines, the main cause ...
