· Continuous mining is a form of mining called room and pillar mining in which a continuous mining machine extracts and removes coal from the working face in one step with no blasting required. Pillars of coal are left to support the roof between areas where coal is mined.

The oldest of the basic underground methods room-and-pillar mining grew naturally out of the need to recover more coal as mining operations became deeper and more expensive. During the late 1940s conventional techniques began to be replaced by single machines known as continuous.

· Underground coal mining mainly include the process of drift slope and shaft mining and actual mining methods include longwall and room and pillar mining. Drift Mines enter the side of a hill horizontally and mine the coal within the hill. Slope mines usually begin in a valley bottom and a tunnel slopes down to the coal surface.

Some underground mining techniques include room and pillar mining and long wall mining. Room and pillar mining is usually completed in flat dipping bedded ores. Pillars are placed in a particular pattern and the rooms are mined out. This method is used in deposits such as oil shale and coal.

· The room and pillar method is very old method and applied to horizontal or nearly horizontal deposits that has been adapted and refined over the years (Hartman and Mutmansky 2002) room and pillar mining is a self-supporting method some pillars of ore are left in place to support the rock that encompasses the ore body while the remaining ore is extracted (Hamrin 1997).

· seams as opposed to longwall mining where large blocks of coal are mined. In some mines both room and pillar and longwall mining methods may be used based on the nature of the coal seam(s). In 2006 approximately 58 percent of the coal produced at underground mining operations used the room and pillar method with continuous mining equipment.
Chat OnlineA design procedure for improved room-and-pillar coal
A joint experimental-analytical program was undertaken to determine the fundamental underground behavior during room and pillar mining of coal. A coal mine in Eastern Ohio was selected for the experiment. The coal seam was approximately 91 m underground and was located in a region of rolling hills. Seam thickness varied from 1.2 to 1.8 m.

· The underground mining is the only potential way for the utilization of the lignite reserves from an open pit exploitation which could remain unexploited due to high stripping ratios. This paper is dealing with the findings of a pilot scale underground exploitation that was developed in the Prosilio open pit coal mine in Northern Greece. The method used is the room and pillar mining method

· Longwall mining is a very efficient coal producing technique. Longwall productivity is potentially higher than that of room-and-pillar mining because longwall mining is basically a continuous operation requiring fewer workers and allowing a high rate of production to be sustained.
