    Longwall Mining

    Underground mining involves digging into the ground to extract ores and minerals. One technique is longwall mining, which uses a shearer mounted on a conveyor to cut a wall of coal from a panel between self-advancing hydraulic roof supports. Longwall mining requires coal seams of a certain thickness and depth and produces coal at a high rate, but has high capital costs and complexity.

    Underground mining is a technique used to access ores and valuable minerals in the ground by digging into the ground to extract them.

    The two main types are longwall retreating and longwall advance mining.

    The requirements for longwall mining include coal seams, thickness of 2-5 meters, depth of 100-300 meters and panel dimensions of 150-300m wide by 1000-3500m long.

    LONGWALL MINING
    MINING METHOD

    LONGWALL MINING
    A set of longwall mining
    equipment consists of a coal
    shearer mounted on conveyor
    operating underneath a series
    of self-advancing hydraulic
    roof supports.

    HISTORY
    1.

    2.

    The basic idea of Longwall mining was


    developed in England in the late 17th
    century, called Shropshire method of
    mining.
    Starting
    around
    1900-1940,
    mechanization was applied to this
    method.

    2. Longwall Advance Mining

    TYPES OF LONGWALL MINING


    There are two methods used to cut a web of coal
    from the longwall face
    The "Bi-Directional" (bi-di) method
    The shearer cuts a fresh web of coal each time it
    traverses up and down the coal face
    The "Uni-Directional" (uni-di) method
    The shearer cuts a web of coal from one side of
    the face to the other and then returns back down
    the face to clean up the original web without
    further advancement of the powered supports.

    3.

    4.

    Very efficient coal production


    technique.
    Higher productivity than room and
    pillar
    The amount of coal recovered is
    also high.
    More safety than room and pillar.

    DISADVANTAGES

    1.
    2.

    High capital cost


    Very complex mining technique,
    because have to much requirement
    to improve the panel and the wall.
