Coal is a kind of porous medium with a complex structure. Adsorption pore structure is a critical parameter …

Since 2010, YPH Coal Mine has been equipped with a Seismic Observation System called "SOS" designed by the Central Mining Institute of Poland, which can capture vibration signals with energy larger than 100 J, a frequency of 1~600 Hz, sampling rate of 500 Hz, and less than 30 dB (anti-interference ability) and record vibration monitoring of …

Continuously assess and update risk assessments as mining conditions change. Engage everyone—safety managers, workers, and even community stakeholders—in the risk assessment process to gather diverse insights. ... Some experts say that underground coal mining is the most dangerous since workers are exposed to …

A risk assessment technology based on a fuzzy Bayesian network is proposed to improve the degree of gas control management in the coal mining face and avoid gas overrun. Five characteristics of ...

Multi-dimensional safety risk assessment on coal mines under the profitability dilemma. Qi You, Qingguo Yao, Ruixin Song, Kai Yu, Cuicui Xu & Haiying …

Metrics. To provide an effective risk assessment of water inrush for coal mine safety production, a BP neural network prediction method for water inrush based on principal component analysis and ...

Risk assessment in underground coal mines has been a topic of great interest for a long time, with the analysis of risks due to various physical hazards. 31 Rockfall risks can be divided into two types according to the location where the damage occurred: the intense working areas near the active faces and the remainder of the mine, …

Initial Assessment of Coal Mining Risk. Often undertaken as part of a Phase 1 Desk Study/Preliminary Risk Assessment, our team will gather evidence by reviewing published and unpublished sources from the Coal Authority to consider the impact of all mineral extractions and provide guidance where required. Mining Risk Assessment.

Today, most mines (coal, iron, and others) in Europe are already closed due to economic, environmental, and societal issues. Therefore, post-mining risk assessment and management remain crucial for mining authorities, policymakers, and planners. In the post-mining period, several hazards are likely to affect the surface areas …

The importance of a coal mining risk assessment for hazard management. The value of a risk assessment lies in its ability to identify, analyse, and evaluate the potential risks associated with mining operations for effective and prompt risk management. In this case, it can be conducted to specifically address hazards.

The comprehensive assessment of the ecological risk of each functional area in 2000 is coal mine production area > surroundings of residential area > natural area with less human disturbance, and that in 2010 is coal mine production area > natural area with serious natural erosion > surroundings of residential area > natural area with lesser ...

In this paper, an overall methodology for risk assessment and mitigation of abandoned coal mines under highways is illustrated in Fig. 2. Four steps need to be undertaken to identify areas affected by mining subsidence to predict the spatio-temporal distribution of future residual subsidence, and to locate critical points where significant ...

Safety Risk Assessment and Risk Prediction in Underground Coal Mines Using Machine Learning Techniques. D. P. Tripathy1 . Satyajeet Parida2 . Leki Khandu3. Received: 18 …

The risk of coal mine gas explosion seriously threatens the continuous safe production of coal mines, which in turn affects the national energy security, so it is important to prevent and control the coal mine gas risk. Current risk assessment methods are difficult to fully express the uncertainty in the assessment process, and calculating ...

The risk of mining of coal seam no. 13 was assessed by using maximum deviation based MCDM in a GIS environment. Then, RI value can be obtained, and a thematic zoning map of the risk grade of mining above coal seam no. 13 on the karst fractured aquifer of the Ordovician system is automatically produced which is shown in …

Most coal mines in China are opting for deep mining due to the rapid reduction of shallow coal reserves, which increases the risk of water-inrush accidents. Given the limitation of water-inrush coefficient method in evaluating the risk of water inrush from the coal seam floor, we analyzed the permeability resistance of the floor under …
