Surface Coal Mining and Reclamation Surface coal mining involves disturbing overlying rock layers overburden to expose and extract coal reserves using the area mining method wherein the overburden above the uppermost coal seam and the innerburden between the lower coal seams are removed in parallel strips pits across the coalfield until the area is mined...
Coal is primarily obtained by surface mining sometimes called strip mining but not by the industry and underground mining There are two main sources of power plant coal in the United States 1 Pennsylvanian-age coals in eastern basins like the Appalachian Illinois and Black Warrior and 2 Paleocene-age coals in western states...

In addition strip mining is ecologically very destructive unless the mining company makes a conscious effort to restore the countryside Strip mining is the process of scraping the coal from the top surface of the ground The second phase in the evolutionary development of coal is lignite Lignite is found in great quantities in the Western...
Apr 01 2019 0183 32 Surface mining techniques include strip mining mountaintop removal mining and open-pit mining Although mining and reclamation operations are complex and regionally specific the overall coal mining process consists of similar sequential stages preparing the surface drilling blasting overburden removal loading the deposit haulage of the mined deposit and rehabilitation...
Layers of rock and dirt above and between the coal seams are removed Coal seams are removed with excess soil and rock placed in an adjacent valley Large scale earth moving equipment is used to excavate and remove coal from lower layers The equipment used depends on the method and scale of the surface mining method being employed...
used in WV surface coal mining in 2009 Considering an average price of blasting agents bulk emulsions slurry and ANFO of 114 per kg the surface coal mines in WV spent almost 400 million for explosives alone This does not include additional blasting accessories such as deto-nators boosters detonating cords lead lines additional...
Surface mining is only economic when the coal seam is near the surface This method recovers a higher proportion of the coal deposit than underground mining as all coal seams are exploited - 90 or more of the coal can be recovered Large opencast mines can cover an area of many square kilometres and use very large pieces of equipment such as...
