By implementing one or more of McLanahan's tailings management ...

typical coal mining area in China was selected for the application of the triple-factor model. We developed an optimization code, SIMP, which is used in conjunction with a flow simulation model to identify the optimal management scenarios. The SIMP code has been used in numerous case studies since the 1990s (Wu, 1992).

Water is present everywhere in mining and its control varies according to its role in the mining processes. This in turn influences the selection of technologies used in …

Mining operations require dewatering and the safe disposal of potentially contaminated water. KSB's systems offer the efficient lowering of groundwater in open pit dewatering, underground drainage and borehole drainage applications regardless of a mine's location. Previous. Water is present everywhere in mining and its control varies …

A case study of water pumping of an opencast coal mine in India resulted in SWR of 22.8 m3/t and SEC of 8.97 kWh/t of coal for a maximum daily rainfall of 100 mm/d in the year 2010. The results ...

The strategy should 1) include both service and dewatering water systems, 2) account for dynamic production plans, and 3) allow for life-of-mine modelling. Data from underground audits were used to develop a baseline model along with the mine plans and survey data.

T he cessation of coal mining in North Rhine-Westphalia on 31st December 2018 marked the start of a period of long-term aftercare measures. The end of coal winning also meant that the original purpose of the mine dewatering operations, which was to make it possible to extract the resources in the first place by collecting the mine water and pumping it to …

Dewatering is a necessity to mine the coal. Large-scale dewatering, however, may also cause adverse impacts on the environment. To properly manage the water resources in the karst aquifer, the objectives that are to be accomplished include (Wu and Jin 1995): Minimizing the dewatering effort in the mine while maintaining its safe …

He noted: "Dewatering remains a critical activity in open-cast mining operations and we were able to assist this customer at short notice over a weekend."
