- Brief description
- Mining of thin and very thin coal seams with thickness 0.5 – 0.9 m with help of modern equipment is practically impos-sible without coal-cutting with stone. Such technology leads to mixing of coal with rock. For coal distribution to con-sumer is necessary to benefit mined rock. Proposed selective technology of coal extraction with backfill provides high quality of product practically with host rock ash content 15 – 18% and allows leaving rock in mine
