When a longwall coal panel is excavated, the stability of overburden strata is disturbed from the immediate roof towards the ground surface (Yavuz 2004).Three typical zones of disturbance in the longwall coal mining would be formed as the destressing to the panel roof strata above the miningout area (Gao et al. 2014a; Yavuz 2004).They are the caved zone, the fractured zone and the continuous ...

Dust generation and its dispersion in a longwall mine pose significant health and safety issues. The concern is prominent at both the working face, where coal excavation exposes workers to high dust concentrations, and also in the return, where float dust accumulates. To address this issue, researchers at the University of Kentucky designed and fabricated a floodedbed dust scrubber integrated ...
