Land Saving

Opencast mining of coal deposits is a priority in Russia, while providing coal to the domestic and foreign markets. Despite reasonable concerns about air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, coal use will continue to be significant in the future. Consequently, it is necessary to introduce less polluting and more efficient technologies in the industry in the coming decades. Coal deposits are being developed by the open method with a limited deposit length. An indicator for estimating volumes is proposed -the ratio of sediment fraction in a quarry. The dependence of the sediment fraction in the quarry on the pit depth, thickness and angle of incidence of the formation of coal seams (with an oblique and steep fall) is established. Recommendations on the use of land-saving dumping for the open-cast mining of coal deposits have been developed. The structure of complex mechanization on dumping is proposed depending on the properties of rocks (soft or bedrock) and types of transport.

Ecological problems in the open pit mining of coal deposits are extremely hard, since mining operations are accompanied by disturbed land to a large depth with significant changes in the landscape, hydrometeorological conditions, mixing of rocks and removal of infertile or even harmful rocks with radioactive isotopes to the surface. Disturbed lands are unusable if they are not repaired. All man-made disturbances of the environment caused by open pit mining are divided into landscape (changes in terrain, vegetation and soil cover) and environmental (violation of living conditions within the allotment and adjacent lands: changes in water regime, pollution of the soil, air and water basins) onesOne of the most important areas in the field of environmental protection is the reclamation (restoration) of the earth’s surface. In accordance with the requirements of the protection of the subsoil, enterprises engaged in the development of mineral deposits are obliged at their own expense to bring disturbed lands into a state suitable form for their further use. Reclamation of ought to be carried out during open pit mining operations and must be completed after mining of mineral resources in the terms established by the authorities that provide land for use.

Information about the geological structure of Kuznetsky coal basin (Kuzbass) allows us to note that coal deposits developed by open-cast method are characterized by complicated conditions and have the following features: large length of deposits at significant depths of occurrence; coal series bedding of different thicknesses (from 1 to 40 m); different dip angles (from 3 to 90º); a significant number of dip and direction disturbances; different thickness of unconsolidated quaternary sediments (from 5 to 40 m); a wide range of strength values of rocks. In addition, there is a thickness irregularity and frequent variability of elements of occurrence of coal seams within the boundaries of a quarry field both in length and depth of mining. From the point of view of open-pit mining, such deposits are complex-structured. The factors listed above have a decisive influence on the choice of technical means, the order of development and the possibility of carrying out surface mining operations. Therefore, there is a need for a systematization of mining and geological conditions for the development of coal deposits, the purpose of which is to ensure a process of evaluation of complex-structured coal deposits for the development of coal-bearing zones by various complexes of equipment.

Mining Procedure

Currently, in developing the most inclined and steep coal deposits in the Central and Northern Kuzbass (Western Siberia, Russia), the deeping longitudinal open pit mining method is used with overburden rock moved to external dumps using transport technology. One of the ways to reduce the rate of land withdrawal while reducing development costs by shortening the distance of overburden movement is to use block lateral mining method with overburden storage in the worked out space. The paper emphasizes that well-known technological solutions consider quarry fields untouched by mining, or in the process of exploitation, so the block mining procedure is using fragmentally along with moving overburden by dump trucks. Internal dumping, as an element of land preservation, has not been generally considered to date. This is a deterrent to the implementation of resource-saving mining technologies, both in design and mining practice.

At present, the country's coal industry pays special attention to the open-pit mining, because of its higher efficiency and profitability. According to various surveys, currently the share of open-pit mining is 50 - 65%, and it will increase to 80 - 85% in the future. The development of an open-pit mining is accompanied by production scale increase, open pits depth increases and complexity of mining conditions of main technological equipment operation increases. With the increase of open pits depth, technological road transport becomes the most problematic issue in mining, since open-pit depth enlargement increases the distance of transportation and roads longitudinal slopes and these factors reduce the efficiency of excavator-automobile complexes.

This article analyses the use of cyclic-flow technology schemes with mobile crushing and reloading complexes in open cast mining. An analysis of the application of cyclic-flow technology schemes with mobile crushing and reloading complexes in open cast mining shows that the main directions of its radical improvement are the development, creation and implementation of fundamentally new mining transport equipment and technological schemes for its quarries, which include: “mobile excavators crushing and transhipment plants and conveyor systems". Technological schemes for the development of rocks with an end arrangement of mobile complexes using a single bucket excavator and conveyor transport, with an end arrangement of mobile complexes and an increased width of the working platform during conveyor transport, with an end arrangement of mobile complexes and the presence of a mobile interstage loading crane with sequential mining at three horizons, a methodology has been developed for determining the working time and annual productivity of mobile crushing and handling conveyor complexes and a new technological scheme for the development of overburden ledges using mobile crushing and handling conveyor complexes. To reduce the time for idling the complex and reduce the number of exit ledges, a new technological scheme for the development of overburden ledges with the use of mobile complexes is recommended. As a result of the calculations according to the developed method, when working out two benches with different block lengths, the dependence of the annual productivity of the complex on the block length was established.

At the present time on the fields of operating and closed-down mines there are sections of open-pit operations. However, the adopted technology does not meet environmental requirements, there are no scientific recommendations on the technology of open-pit mining in hazardous areas of mine fields, there is no substantiation of the boundary contours of open-pit mining. A characteristic feature of depleted mine fields is the disturbed rock mass and the lack of concentrated coal reserves within their boundaries. In fact, coal reserves are represented in the form of fragmentary volumes of safety pillars and substandard reserves in places of geological disturbances. Limitation of mine fields in terms of various infrastructure objects imposes special requirements for mining operations. In these conditions it is not possible to apply the classic mining systems and technologies. This predetermines the necessity to develop new technological solutions. Therefore, scientific research on justification of technology for extraction of remaining reserves of coal after underground development of inclined and steep-sloping coal deposits with simultaneous reclamation of disturbed lands is actual.

The natural conditions for the formation of coal deposits in different regions of the globe are the same, all of them belong to reservoir sedimentary deposits and differ only in the degree of metamorphism and tectonic disturbances. In this regard, coal deposits of the Kuznetsk basin (Kuzbass, Western Siberia, Russia)) that have no analogues in nature are unique. Here are all sorts of options for the occurrence of coal seams both in terms of their thickness, dip angle, number, and the degree of disturbance by plicative and disjunctive disturbances. The article presents some results of research on ways to reduce coal losses in open pit mining during its extraction by draglines. The study was carried out on the example of deposits in Kemerovo region with coal seams in an inclined and steep formations, which allows analyzing the possibilities of applying the proposed technological solutions in the widest range of specific mining and geological conditions.
