Overburden and waste rock are the non-liquid wastes generated in largest volumes by extraction activities; tailings and spent ore are generated by beneficiation; and slag is generated through processing. Surface and underground mining are the two most common types of mining conducted; however, there are two other types of mining, placer and in ...

Mining - Strip, Open-Pit, Quarrying: It has been estimated that more than two-thirds of the world's yearly mineral production is extracted by surface mining. There are several types of surface mining, but the three most common are open-pit mining, strip mining, and quarrying. These differ from one another in the mine geometries created, the techniques …

Between 1983 and 2013, there were nearly 400 cases of reportable dynamic failure accidents in coal and nonmetal mines, resulting in 20 fatalities, 155 lost-time accidents, and an estimated 48,000 lost man hours. These events have been documented for well over 100 years within the American underground coal mining industry.

The overburden consists of weathered sandstone sludge. The sand particles were recovered by washing the overburden and separating sand particles by sedimentation and decantation method. To assess the suitability of the sand for making concrete, tests as recommended in Indian standard code IS:383 - 2016 were carried out.

Longwall mining is a widely used method for excavating underground coal seam. The overlying strata will subside and sequentially fracture after underground mining disturbance, resulting in caving, separation, and collapse of overburden (Palchik 2003; Wei et al. 2022).The three zones will progressively occur and extend vertically from coal …

The overburden depth at the test site is about 600 ft. Fig. 9.24 shows the detailed overburden geology at the test site, which has been interpreted by correlating a test site gamma log and a nearby core hole. Clearly, the overburden geology is a typical Pittsburgh seam geology and is highlighted by many strong and weak rock interfaces, which have …

strip mining, removal of soil and rock (overburden) above a layer or seam (particularly coal ), followed by the removal of the exposed mineral. The common strip-mining techniques are classified as area mining or contour mining on the basis of the deposit geometry and type. The cycle of operations for both techniques consists of vegetation ...

The result shows that the cement-stabilized samples with a cement fraction of 5% met the minimum required UCS and durability for the stabilized base materials. To model the UCS and mass loss of the two cement-stabilized overburden wastes, the response surface method (RSM) was implemented and validated using the hold-out cross validation method.
