Introduction Trial pits are a sort of subsurface inquiry where a tiny trench or pit is excavated to learn more about the site’s geology and soil conditions. In geotechnical engineering and environmental evaluations, this technique is frequently employed to evaluate a site’s appropriateness for construction or identify any potentially hazardous elements. We shall discuss trial […]

LONGWALL MINING : AN OVERVIEW
MarcialIntroduction A naturally occurring resource, coal is made up of organic deposits from long-dead plants that have been buried for millions of years. One of the most prevalent forms of fossil fuels in the world is coal. A process of extracting coal that is done below ground is called underground coal mining. A […]
Room and Pillar Stoping
MarcialRoom and pillar mining is a widely used underground mining method characterized by the extraction of ore in a series of “rooms” while leaving “pillars” of material to support the overhead rock. Tabular, flat dipping ore deposits in competent rock are usually mined by room and pillar stoping methods. If the ore zone is […]

INTRODUCTION TO ACID MINE DRAINAGE: DEFINITION AND CAUSES
Marcial
Introduction Acid mine drainage (AMD) is a major environmental issue associated with the mining industry. It primarily results from the oxidation of sulfide minerals, such as pyrite (FeS₂), in the presence of water and oxygen. This process generates highly acidic water, often contaminated with dissolved heavy metals, which can have devastating impacts on aquatic and […]

There is a considerable chance of a conveyor belt fire. While the belting itself is combustible, its length and movement present a risk that a belt might quickly spread a fire throughout a large portion of a building. The most frequent cause of conveyor belt fires is friction heat from a pulley spinning against a […]
