A study investigates spontaneous coal combustion in ultra-thick seam mining and evaluates integrated grouting and nitrogen injection for goaf fire prevention.
A new data-driven method could automate roof-weighting analysis in underground coal mines, reducing reliance on manual interpretation of hydraulic-support resistance data.
An automated composting system tested at a remote mining operation reduced landfill dependence, lowered greenhouse gas emissions, and generated usable compost from food waste.
A study on in situ leaching for uranium mining reveals low environmental impacts and radiation risks, supporting sustainable uranium production practices.
Combining thermodynamic modeling with reduction roasting and magnetic separation enhances nickel and iron recovery, offering a sustainable processing route.
A laboratory and modeling study suggests lithium slag could support lower-cement mine backfill while restricting long-term trace-metal migration under the tested conditions.
Investigating floor damage in coal mine reservoirs, this research identifies key factors influencing stability under combined mining and hydraulic pressures.
A Lingdong Coal Mine study measured fracture-zone heights of 74.5–77.1 m, offering site-specific insights into water-inrush risk under weak overburden.
New research from Monash University scientists has revealed that microscopic life is actively breaking down decades-old mining waste in South Australia, turning stable radioactive and toxic metals into mobile nanoparticles that can easily travel through the environment.
