Surface mining, including strip mining, open-pit mining and mountaintop removal mining, is a broad category of mining in which soil and rock overlying the mineral deposit (the overburden) are removed, in contrast to underground mining, in which the overlying rock is left in place, and the mineral is removed through shafts or tunnels. Surface mining began in the mid-16th century and is practiced throughout the world, although the major

20-09-2014 In most WV surface coal mines several machines are used to dig and load overburden material. This equipment includes hydraulic and electric (rope) shovels, front-end wheel loaders, and draglines (which are used for stripping and dumping into the excavated area).

Abstract The broad objective of this research was to improve current surface mining practices and reduce negative environmental impact of overburden removal in West Virginia (WV). The specific objectives were to (i) compare con-ventional surface mining method (drilling, blasting, digging, and loading) to a surface miner (SM) method, and (ii) apply

01-03-2019 Overburden handling has important impacts on surface mining projects and has to be carefully planned considering both mining activities and site rehabilitation , . Overburden handling activities start at the beginning of the mining project, when a huge amount of material from initial underground development or stripping is removed for site preparation [3] , [4] .

20-07-2016 Overburden is removed prior to surface mining and replaced after the coal is taken from the seam. Ramp- is the road way constructed mainly in an open pit mine for the passage of the machines, also in underground mining may be used to connect levels for haulage purposes.

Front-End Loaders. Front-end loaders, or simply “loaders,” are large, typically tire-mounted vehicles with a deep, wide bucket mounted at the front. Loaders are used to load mined material into haul trucks and feeders, push or dump overburden, and manage stockpile or refuse areas.

Draglines, bucketwheel excavators, and electric shovels are the largest and most expensive equipment on a surface mine, and are used primarily to remove overburden. In some cases, particularly in large lignite (soft coal) mines, buck- etwheel excavators and electric shovels not only remove overburden but are also used to mine the coal.

Surface mines are naturally extended until either the valuable deposit is exhausted, or the cost of de-cresting larger volumes of overburden makes further mining an uneconomic option to shoulder. In most types of surface mining, heavy paraphernalia's such as earthmovers are utilized. They 1st remove the overburden the soil and rock above the ...

Since nearly half of the open pit surface mines in the U.S. produce sand and gravel (aggregate), lots of questions tend to come up about the equipment used in that type of mining. As you can imagine, it takes a range of both mobile and stationary equipment to run a sand and gravel operation.

Selective placement of overburden is one of the measures that can mitigate surface coal mining's impact on environment which is mandatory by the Public Law PL 95-87 of 1977. When the operation of selective placement of overburden is integrated into the mining cycle, its effectiveness is largely dependent on mining planning, pit design, and equipment scheduling and matching.

MoreSurface Mining Surface, or open pit, mining of coal is done where the overburden is relatively shallow. Large earth-mov- ing equipment, draglines (figure 13), or shovels are used to remove the fractured overburden from the coal (figure 14). The coal is then typically broken up by blasting it with explosives.

26-08-2010 In surface mining operations, entities may find it necessary to remove mine waste materials ('overburden') to gain access to mineral ore deposits. This waste removal activity is known as 'stripping'. There can be two benefits accruing to the entity from the stripping activity: usable ore that can be used to produce inventory and improved access to further quantities of material that will be ...

Overburden: is non-valuable minerals above ore which must be removed to extract the ore. Pit Limit: is the maximum vertical and lateral extent which may be excavated economically in an open pit mine. Pit Slope: is the angle from the horizontal which the wall of a open pit stands as measured from crest to toe.
