Methane hazard has always been considered for underground coal mining as it can lead to methane explosion. In Quang Ninh province, several coal mines such as Mạo Khe coal mine, Khe Cham coal mine, especially Duong Huy mine that have high methane content. Experimental data to examine contents of methane bearing coal seams at different depths are not similar in Duong coal mine. In order to ensure safety, this report has been undertaken to determine a pattern of changing methane contents of coal seams at different exploitation depths in Duong Huy underground coal mine.

Purpose By juxtaposing fatal colliery explosions in early twentieth-century Britain and in 2010 at Pike River, New Zealand, this paper aims to investigate the generalizability of the mock bureaucracy concept to underground coal mining disasters. Design/methodology/approach The main source is published official accident inquiries; a methodological reflection justifies the use of these materials. Findings Mock bureaucracies existed in the British underground coal mining milieu from the time when safety rules were first formulated in that industry context. As for Pike River, it is an exemplary case. The development in 1970s Britain of a new approach to safety management (the Robens system), and its subsequent export to New Zealand, means that a contemporary coal mine under financial duress, such as Pike River, is a prime site for mock bureaucracy to flourish. Originality/value Although the concept of mock bureaucracy has been applied to an explosion in an underground coal mine before, this is the first paper to explore the concept’s historical usage and generalizability in explaining the environing context of such explosions.

Hazardous and ineffective mines were closed, and a number of underground and strip mines of a modern technological level were built as a result of the restructuring of the coal industry in Russia. However, safety in the coal mines continues to be one of the urgent issues nowadays. In underground coal mining, the main types of risks are processes occurring in the rock mass as a result of mining operations. It is necessary to realize timeous and the most accurate prediction of harmful events, which occur during a development of coal fields, to increase the efficiency and reduce the cost of coal mining. The most optimal and, at the same time, comprehensive approach to predicting possible natural hazardous events in the process of modern coal mining are considered in this article. The results of implementation of integration of different methods of geodynamic and geomechanics researches are presented in this paper.

Quang Ninh underground coal mines are currently in the phase of finishing up the mineralreserves located near the surface. Also, in this phase, a number of coal mines have opened and preparednew mine sites for the extraction of the reserves at greater depth. Several mines have mined at -350 mdepth and are driving opening excavations at -500 m depth below sea level. The mining at greater depthfaces many difficulties, such as a significant increase in support and excavation pressures. The longwallface pressure is mostly manifested in great magnitude that causes support overloaded and jumped andface spall/roof fall. This paper, based on the geological condition of the Seam 11 Ha Lam coal mine,uses the numerical program UDEC for studying the impact of mining depth on stress distribution aroundthe longwall face. The results show that the deeper the mining is, the greater the plastic deformationzone is. The peak front abutment stress moves closer to the coal wall, mainly concentrating on theimmediate roof and top coal. The top coal is greatly broken, and its bearing capacity is decreased. Somesolutions to the stability of roof strata are proposed, and a proper working resistance of support isdetermined. Additionally, the paper suggests that the starting depth for deep mining in Quang Ninhunderground coal mines should be -350 m below sea level.

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has an enormous prospective in hazardous areas such as underground coal mines. However, there is a need to ensure safety while installing WSN in underground coal mine as it is hazardous in nature and WSN radiates Radio Frequency (RF) signals which can be an eminent source of ignition. Henceforth when the underground coal mines are equipped with WSN there is a need to set the threshold limits of different physical parameters in order to eradicate such hazards for enabling safety. Therefore, in the present chapter, attempts have been made to assess the required safety for WSN while installing in underground coal mines. In addition, various types of hazards associated with underground coal mines and their consequences are elaborated in details with a glimpse to mitigate them with the use of WSN.

To address the issue of high gas emissions in mining gassy coal seams in underground coal mines, the concept of a three-entry panel layout with a retained goaf-edge gateroad and a “Y” type ventilation system is introduced in this paper. With the layout and ventilation system, distribution characteristics of methane concentration in the panel goaf is analyzed, technologies of gas drainage with boreholes drilled from the retained goaf-edge gateroad and into stress-relieved overlying and underlying seams are described, and an application case of such layout in a coal mine is also presented in this paper.

Abstract Exploitation of coal from the Jiu Valley presents its own specific, in terms of coal mining deposit conditions, fact that required a continuous preoccupation for the monitoring of the work conditions, in order to ensure work-places safety. This paper intends to indicate a method of increasing the work environment safety using GIS technology, the analysis being completed at Lupeni Coal Mine, the largest Coal Mine in Jiu Valley, characterised by a low level of accidents that has taken place in there so far. It consists of an extension of accomplished studies in order to implement an intelligent dispatching system.

In order to make sure the reasonable roadway layout in lower seam of close coal mining group coordination in Lijiahao coal mine, firstly, applying the theoretical analysis and geological radar detection to get the influence depth of mining from the up coal seam 2-2 to the floor is about 20m, the results show that the thickness of complete strata is about 15m, then determining to use the outward alternate entries in lower seam roadway by using theoretical analysis. At last, determining the distance of outward alternate entries is 12-14m by using FLAC3D numerical simulation software to simulate the change of stress and displacement in roof floor and two sides of roadway.
