商品簡介
Bise edits this coal mining guide from the Society for Mining, Metallurgy, and Exploration, serving as a principles text and technical reference. The volume opens with statistics from the coal industry and geology of coal deposits. The book then goes on to systematically discuss various aspects of the mining process: ground control, ventilation, electrical power, haulage, and processing of acquired coal. The specialized mining techniques of underground development, room-and-pillar mining, longwall mining, and surface mining are also covered, with a chapter on reclamation of surface-mined land. The last chapter presents eleven case studies to illustrate the interplay of site factors in mining process decisions. Annotation c2014 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
