IMPACTS OF LONGWALL COAL MINING ON THE ENVIRONMENT
Longwall mining in NSW began in 1962. In 1983/84 it accounted for 11% of the state’s raw coal production. This had increased to 36% by 1993/94 and stood at 29% in 2003/04. In 2003/04, there were 17 longwall coal mines operating in NSW with several others proposed or about to commence operating.

· In any Longwall mine where there is much water, all entries and roadways should be driven on a pitch great enough to permit fair drainage on the working face if possible to do so, so as to keep the faces dry for the miner. In low seams of coal the miner must do a great deal of his work on his knees along the face.

· 1. Introduction Underground coal mining inevitably causes strata movement and ground subsidence unless backfill mining is implemented (Xuan et al., 2015, 2017; Zhu et al. 2017c).The stress transfer/relief during mining is the root cause of mine pressure (Peng 1978; Xie et al. 2018; Zhu et al. 2018b), and a critical factor in safe and efficient

Punch Longwall Mining | Introduction | underground COAL
Punch Longwall Mining. This is a rather specialized type of mining which is only applicable where a seam is exposed at the highwall of an open cut mine which has reached the economic limit for open cut mining. It could also be applied where a seam has an extensive natural outcrop, but there are no instances of this in Australia known to the

· Longwall mining is a method of carving “hallways” into underground coal seams and then mining long corridors of coal adjacent to the hallway. As the coal is mined and carried away via conveyer belt to the surface, the ceiling above the mined coal collapses. This can cause subsidence on the surface. Erin Pfeil-McCullough, a graduate

· Longwall mining is a primary method for extracting coal from underground mines. As shown in Figure 1, three kinds of mining equipment used in the longwall face are a shearer, an armored face conveyor (AFC), and a roof support system. The shearer moves back and forth along a rail connected to the AFC, while the roof

· Consequently, “automation” in longwall mining centers on equipping the shearer and shields with “intelligent’ to operate by themselves doing what the human operators do. Note there is only one shearer while there are numerous shields, the motion of which fortunately is linear advancing and all shields are the same.

Longwall Shearer Automation: From Research to Reality-Springer
Horizon Control-In the vertical plane, the automation situation is more complex. The goal of longwall mining, similar to any mining operation, is to maximise extraction of product and minimise extraction of waste. This means the longwall shearer should operate so that roof and floor cutting horizons are entirely within the seam.

· Longwall mining is a form of underground coal mining where a long wall of coal is mined in a single slice, typically 0.6–1.0 meters thick. The longwall panel (the block of coal that is being mined) is typically 3–4 km long and 250–400 meters wide. The mining process involves the use of a large cutting machine, the longwall shearer, which
