Opencast mining or quarrying of minerals is easier than mining by underground methods. During quarrying the alluvium and rocks below which the minerals lie, are removed and dumped, in the initial stages, in a place which is not required in future for quarrying, residential or other purposes. The mineral exposed is completely extracted. Opencast ...

Abstract. Coal mining contributes to economic development, but has an immense impact on the quality of the environment. Soils near coal mines may get contaminated by the dispersion of coal particles and dust from the mines. Soil samples were collected near an opencast coal mine (OCM) in Dhanbad, India.

The reclamation of surface (opencast) coal mines is not always successful; there remains a legacy of degraded land that burdens local communities. This article evaluates a communityoriented, lowcost means of geoecological regeneration, the "Cradle for Nature" strategy, which uses mosaic tree planting to foster positive natural ecological processes. Results show that, while the ...

The change process of land use in the region reveals the internal human driving mechanism of its evolution. Therefore, the change of land use can intuitively and objectively reflect the intensity and progress of mining activities in the opencast mining area. Inside the mining area, largescale exploitation of coal resources will lead to rapid ...

Methods of extraction Coal extraction methods vary depending on whether the mine is an underground mine or a surface (also called open cast) mine. Additionally, coal seam thickness and geology are factors in the selection of a mining method. The most economical method of coal extraction for surface mines is the electric shovel or drag line.

Highwall mining is an adaptation of auger mining. Instead of an auger hole, an entry into the coal seam is made by a continuous miner, remotely operated from a cabin at the surface. The cut coal is transported by conveyors behind the miner to the outside. Using a television camera, the operator can see and control the miner's progress.

Open pit mining is defined as the method of extracting any near surface ore deposit using one or more horizontal benches to extract the ore while dumping overburden and tailings (waste) at a specified disposal site outside the final pit boundary. Open pit mining is used for the extraction of both metallic and nonmetallic ores.

The excavation and backfilling of opencast coal mines in permafrost regions inevitably changes the geothermal state and degenerates surrounding permafrost, causing severe engineering and environmental problems—thaw slumping, ground fissures, vegetation degradation and desertification. Therefore, it is desirable to investigate the thermal regime evolution within the mining area during the ...

Openpit mining. Some 53% of South Africa's coal is produced from surface mining, via opencast or openpit mines. This is because the coal is less than 60 metres below the surface. Openpit mines use draglines, as well as truck and shovel operations to extract coal. A dragline excavator uses a dragline to pull a bucket by a wire cable.

The opencast coal mining technique is used in areas were the coal reserves are scattered in shallow and thin seams and cannot be extracted by deep mining methods (Beynon et al., 2000). The opencast process starts with exploration activities to identify where there are deposits of coal and what is the depth of the seams.

Openpit mining, also known as opencast or opencut mining and in larger contexts megamining, [1] is a surface mining technique of extracting rock or minerals from the earth from an openair pit, sometimes known as a borrow . This form of mining differs from extractive methods that require tunnelling into the earth, such as long wall mining.
