The Principle of Longwall Top Coal Caving (LTCC) – Chinese

卡特彼勒在特殊开采条件的液压支架设计方面拥有丰富的经验。Cat长壁放顶煤开采液压支架可以应用于煤层厚度超过6米(20英尺)的开采条件。在采煤机正常在大约3米采高割煤后,液压支架向前推进并使得在液压支架后的顶煤落到后部采空区侧的第二部运输机上。这种特殊的放顶煤开采模式可以增加煤炭资源的回收率。本动画将演示其工作过程。 Source

Drilling: How to Minimize Variability

Mining is made up of a number of processes, and one of the first is drilling. It’s important to consider the impact that optimal drilling and blasting has on downstream mining activities like loading, hauling, crushing and milling. Inconsistent drill patterns, hole depth and hole angle can have a significant effect on the rest of…

High Value-added Utilization Situation of Coal Gangue

1. Coal gangue production of calcined kaolinKaolin is an important component of coal gangue. Coal gangue can produce ultra-fine calcined kaolin through fine processing technologies such as purification, ultra-fine pulverization, calcination and surface modification. It can be used not only as coating pigment and filler in papermaking, but also as filler and extender in plastics,…
