Coalbed gas has been considered a hazard since the early 19th century when the first mine gas explosions occurred in the United States in 1810 and France in 1845. In eastern Australia methane-related mine disasters occurred late in the 19th century with hundreds of lives lost in New South Wales, and as recently as 1995 in Queensland's Bowen Basin.

THREE A S TM STANDARDS are available for sampling coal: ASTM Practice for Collection of Channel Samples of Coal in the Mine (D 4596), ASTM Test Methods for Collection of a Gross Sample of Coal (D 2234), and ASTM Practice for Collection of Coal Samples from Core (D 5192). The first two standards are applicable only to existing mining operations, test pits, or transportation of coal.

В книге изложены процессы дробления и грохочения углей на сортировках, углеобогатительных и брикетных фабриках. Рассмотрены элементы теории по дроблению и грохочению, конструкции современных дробилок, грохотов, магнитных сепараторов и питателей с указанием их технической характеристики, области применения и способов регулирования.

В современных приоритетных направлениях развития подземной горнодобывающей промышленности одной из важнейших задач является обеспечение безопасной подработки породного массива и земной поверхности. В этой связи новые познания геомеханических процессов, протекающих в многофакторной подземной геотехнической системе по мере развития горных работ, является актуальной научной задачей.

Coal is still a dominant fuel in America, Australia, China, Mongolia and Russia, but more and more countries are abandoning coal and turning to alternative sources of energy, increasingly renewable energy provided by wind, wave or solar power. So now is an opportune time to take stock of the impact that coal and coal mining have had on countries around the world. Some 48 countries have institutions recording or commemorating that history in the form of museums, heritage centres or preserved colliery sites, of which this book considers 432 examples. It is not a straightforward account of the history of coal mining but rather an examination of how that history has been presented by different institutions and cultures.

Coal is an important part of natural resources and the focus of social energy and economic development. With the increase in the energy demand, the amount of coal mining is also increasing, which leads to many safety problems. Improving the elevels of safety in the coal mining process while ensuring that coal production is carried out at an acceptable level is a problem that we must attach great importance to. In this book, we collect, revise and collate the latest work of the main researchers, covering the theory and technology of coal mine disaster prevention and control, safety management and control in the process of coal mining, mineral processing and intelligent/ green mining engineering, mining environmental protection and sustainable development, and other aspects of safety technology research, focusing on coal mine production safety <...>
