Around the world, on average, four coal miners die for each million
tons of coal recovered. Improving the safety of mining work while
responding to the need for increased coal production, however, is
impossible without further development of the physics of mining
processes. A relatively new branch of science, it tackles problems
that arise during mineral products recovery, particularly safety
issues such as rock failures, coal and gas outbursts, and methane
explosions. The first book to present a unifying methodology for
addressing problems such as outbursts and explosions of methane in
coal mining, Physics of Coal and Mining Processes integrates
theoretical and experimental research on coal and bearing rocks and
examines the anthropogenic processes that occur during deep
underground mining. The book summarizes the results of recent and
established research, including studies conducted at the Institute
of Physics of Mining Processes of the National Academy of Sciences
of Ukraine, headed by the author. Key topics covered include rock
mass in multi-component compressive stress fields and phase
conditions of methane in coal. The book also examines
state-of-the-art instrumentation and physical methods of analysis,
among them x-ray analysis of coal structures combined with computer
simulation and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy
combined with gas chromatography. Bridging the gap between the
academic theory and the practice of coal mining, the book proposes
novel methods to predict rock mass condition, control gas-dynamic
phenomena, and estimate safe mining loads. A useful reference for
scientists, technicians, and engineers working in the coal
industry, it also offers an overview of the physics of mining
processes for students pursuing careers in the field.
