Since 1979, Rosebud Mining Company has actively produced high-quality bituminous coal, both metallurgical and steam qualities, from mines located in Western Pennsylvania and Ohio.
Showing compliance with the NAAQS for surface coal mining operations presents unique challenges, particularly considering fugitive emissions. Characterizing the sources adequately and accurately can be challenging given the limitations of AERMOD. For mines with a variety of sources, large footprints, and ...
At this time coal is being exported from northeastern England to other parts of Britain and elsewhere in Western Europe. 1200s Coal mining expands in England Coal mining steadily spreads in England, with records of coal digging in various areas such as Durham, Northumberland, Nottinghamshire, ...
The recent literature on selected less-conventional and conceptual underground mining methods capable of producing a fragmented coal product is reviewed. Methods covered include auger mining, the use of chain cutters and scraper ploughs, hydraulic mining by monitor jet, hydraulic borehole mining, in-...

The problems of atmospheric emissions due to mining, cleaning, handling, and transportation of coal from the mine to the user are of lesser significance as far as the overall air pollution problems are concerned. Whenever coal is handled, particulate emission becomes a problem. The emissions can ...

Longwall mining has largely replaced pillar recovery in the western US, and much less coal is being mined from the burst prone Pocahontas coalfields of Virginia and West Virginia. On the other hand, longwalls work deeper seams today than they did 30 years ago, and multiple seam interactions ...
“In summary, if one is concerned about greenhouse gases then the statement that natural gas or coal seam gas (methane CH4) is a friendlier fuel than coal (i.e. good), and the statement, that fugitive methane (CH4) from coal mining or animal emissions is bad, ...
