Formation of coal, oil and gas. The branch of geology that has the greatest economic importance worldwide is the study of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas): they form by diagenetic processes that alter material made up of the remains of organisms. The places where the original organic material forms can be understood by studying ...

Oct 20, 2021Coal bump prediction is one of the key problems in deep coal mining engineering. To predict coal bump disaster accurately and reliably, we propose a depth neural network (DNN) prediction model based on the dropout method and improved Adam algorithm. The coal bump accident examples were counted in order to analyze the influencing factors, characteristics, and causes of this type of accidents.

May 29, 2022To study the influence of the coal seam floor's fracture depth of Pingdingshan mine area, the mining depth H = 1000 m, mining width W = 120 m and confined water pressure P = 1.79 MPa were selected. In this case, the height of the coal seam at the working face is changed. (i.e., the plastic zone range).

Burial temperatures of rocks and minerals are determined in a variety of ways. Several methods are used to infer maximum burial temperatures from organic compounds in rocks, especially oil (petroleum). Not surprisingly, several methods have also been developed to interpret maximum burial temperature of coal and, by association, surrounding strata.

• Underground mining typically extends to much greater depths than ordinary coal mines. These mines have poor air circulation and the use of dynamite to release toxic gases. Thus, surface mining and underground mining are two methods to extract resources. Surface mining is economically beneficial, but hazardous to human health.
