Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive guide to the exploitation of coal mines, covering all aspects of the process from the initial excavation of galleries to the transport and loading of the extracted coal. Drawing on the author's extensive experience in the field, it provides a practical and detailed account of the techniques and technologies involved in modern coal mining. The book begins by outlining the general principles and methods of coal mining, before moving on to discuss the specific techniques used for the excavation of galleries and the extraction of coal. It covers a wide range of topics, including the use of explosives, the design and construction of galleries, the transport of coal, and the ventilation and drainage of mines. The author also examines the economic and social aspects of coal mining, discussing the factors that affect the profitability of mines and the impact of mining on the local environment. He concludes by arguing that coal mining will continue to play a vital role in meeting the world's energy needs for many years to come, but that it must be carried out in a sustainable and environmentally responsible manner.
