Synopsis

Master the essentials of coal mining with clear, practical guidance grounded in geology and field practice. This book is designed for two groups: students entering mining engineering and practical miners preparing for manager certifications. It connects the science of geology, mechanics, physics, and chemistry to real mining work, helping readers understand how seams are found, studied, and extracted.

The author aims to make the material self-explanatory while encouraging readers to study related sciences. Throughout, the text emphasizes how geological knowledge informs exploration, planning, and operation in coal mining, from initial prospecting to the safe, efficient extraction and preparation of coal.

What you will experience
- A clear view of how geology guides coal exploration, including maps, outcrops, faults, and dip measurements.
- Practical guidance on prospecting, surveying, boring, sinking, timbering, and other essential mining steps.
- A detailed look at haulage options, such as compressed-air systems, electric locomotives, and aerial ropeways, with real-world considerations.
- An introduction to mine ventilation, safety practices, and the treatment of coal for the market.

Ideal for readers of mining engineering and those pursuing officer certifications, as well as anyone seeking a solid, hands-on overview of coal mining from discovery to delivery.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
