2011 Underground Coal Operators'' Conference The AusIMM Illawarra Branch 10 – 11 February 2011 29 GEOTECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR LONGWALL TOP COAL CAVING AT AUSTAR COAL MINE Adrian Moodie1and James Anderson ABSTRACT: Austar Coal Mine has had a long association with difficult strata control conditions associated with depth of mining and a highly jointed/cleated coal .

May 14, 2019· The Broadmeadow mine was started using a longwall to extract coal at m (15 ft) leaving the top section of the seam to fall into the gob. The adjacent opencut mine has been mining the full seam section for more than 30 years, investigations and evaluations were made into the Top Coal Caving method and its suitability for the operation.

Longwall topcoal caving technology has developed rapidly in China, in recent years. The application of longwall topcoal The application of longwall topcoal caving can double both the productivity and the efficiency of a working face and reduce the cost of production by 30 to 40o/o.

A 3D particlebased numerical approach to simulate the longwall top coal caving (LTCC) process was proposed, which for the first time the effect of continuous support advance and the faceend ...

Active longwall top coal caving mines are at a depth of 100–400 m and they were used for comparison purposes. New coal mining operations will be initiated in deep sectors of the basin in the future. Future longwall top coal caving operations will be unique under .

Coal mining Coal mining Choosing a mining method: The various methods of mining a coal seam can be classified under two headings, surface mining and underground mining. Surface and underground coal mining are broad activities that incorporate numerous variations in equipment and methods, and the choice of which method to use in extracting a coal seam depends on many technological, economic ...

The mine, located in a remote area of Queensland, produces premium quality, mediumvol, highstrength coking coal with exceptional coking qualities. North Goonyella coal is exported through the Dalrymple Bay Coal Terminal, south of Mackay to global seabourne demand centers.

In longwall top coal caving (LTCC), fractures in the top coal are the most significant factors to consider when assessing top coal cavability. Fractures in the floor have an adverse impact on longwall mining practice and play a significant role in safe mining above confined aquifers.

Apr 30, 2015· has extensive experience in the design of roof supports for specific mining conditions. Longwall Top Coal Caving (LTCC) roof supports allow mining of seams seams thicker than 6 ...

Abstract. A 3D particlebased numerical approach to simulate the longwall top coal caving (LTCC) process was proposed, which for the first time the effect of continuous support advance and the faceend support were considered.

Yancoal introduced the Longwall Top Coal Caving (LTCC) mining technology to Australia at its Austar mine in 2006. Developed in China, top coal caving uses a modified long wall mining system. LTCC allows the excavation of thick coal seam...

In coal mining: Origins of longwall mining. The other principal method of modern mining, longwall mining, had been introduced as early as the 17th century and had found general use by the 19th century, but it had long been less productive than roomandpillar mining.

Longwall Top Coal Caving. Longwall top coal caving (LTCC) is a special type of longwall mining applicable to very thick seams (greater than ) where good quality coal is being left because "conventional" longwall equipment has not yet been designed to .

AbstractLongwall top coal caving (LTCC) techniques has been employed in favourable geological conditions widely in China since the mid80s and in Australia recently. With the improvement of highlypowered face equipment and the method itself, in the past 15 years, LTCC was introduced to more challenging geological

Introduced and improved over the last 20 years, the Longwall Top Coal Caving (LTCC) method, used for extracting thick seams (greater than m), was recently launched in Australia. More than 90 such longwalls already operate in China.

The Longwall Top Coal Caving Method In Turkey, the LTCC method has been applying for many years. It is based on the ''Soutirage'' longwall caving method originally developed in the French coal mining industry. 142 . The 19th International Mining Congress and Fair of Turkey, IMCET2005, İzmir, Turkey, June 0912, 2005

Classification of longwall and caving mining methods Longwallmining in hardrock Longwallmining in coal mining Sublevel caving Block caving t rk. Longwall mining in hard rock Basic geomechanics considerationsNearfield rock is usually strong, and mining takes place at .

1. Introduction. Longwall Top Coal Caving (LTCC) can provide substantially less economic sensitivity and a reduced level of technical risk over other thick seam mining methods. 1 A reliable evaluation of LTCC''s applicability at the feasibility stage of a new mining project is therefore of importance to the effective and productive extraction of thick coal seams.

The longwall working face was 200 m wide and m long and 440– 88 450 m deep. The average coal seam thickness was approximately m. Fully mechanized topcoal 89 caving mining method was employed. The coal was cut to a height of m while the top coal caving 90 height averaged m. ZF/15000//42 hydraulic supports were ...

Today, the topcoal caving longwall mining is the major mining method for thick seam coal mining in China. In the Datong coal district, the annual production is million metric tons per panel. The topcoal caving longwall mining has attained outstanding achievements in coal mines with favorable conditions.

Longwall Topcoal Caving (TCC) is a method of extraction for underground mining of thick seams. It uses a longwall setup and natural forces to aid in the winning of coal. With this method of extraction only a single longwall is developed at the foot of the seam. The control of the roof layers at the face is by means of powered supports.
