ECONOMIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL SOLUTIONS TO IMPROVE THE MINING STOCKS PREPARATION TO INTENSIVE DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

This article considers economic and technological
solutions to improve the efficiency of reserves recovery to intensive development. Longwall mining
is the preferable method in coal mining to maximize production and reserves recovery. This article
analyzes the main factors considered for increasing
longwall panel width. In terms of performed research the author has identified the required condition for optimization reserves recovery by longwall
faces, resulting in a reduced amount of coal
wastes. This article discusses the aspects for design
considerations and solutions of technical problems.
