Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Paperback, 644 pages, NOT ex-library. Little used, clean and bright condition with firm binding, unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps. -- Drawing on over 60 peer-reviewed contributions from experts representing 15 countries, the book presents a multidimensional overview of current practice and research, with particular emphasis on innovation, optimization and sustainability in mining operations across the globe. It is organized around the seven core themes of the Aachen 2014 symposium. The first major section explores continuous mining equipment and systems, addressing the design, diagnostics, maintenance and performance of modern conveyor technologies. Contributions include pioneering developments in closed-trough belt systems, infrared-based monitoring tools and predictive modeling for bucket-wheel excavators. These chapters offer deep technical content relevant for practitioners in equipment development, maintenance planning, and mining operations management. The second major theme delves into geotechnical engineering, focusing on drilling, slope stability, dewatering, and foundation conditions. Case studies from the Rhenish and Lusatian lignite regions, Serbia and Greece illustrate the challenges of constructing infrastructure over former or active mine sites and highlight technological responses such as vibro-compaction and stability analysis under complex terrain conditions. Next, the book turns to mine simulation and computerized planning, offering insights into geostatistical deposit modeling, particle swarm optimization for mine scheduling, and dynamic simulation tools like ARENA for evaluating transport systems. These tools empower engineers to increase efficiency, optimize mine design, and reduce environmental and economic risks. The fourth segment focuses on operational control and management. Here, contributors from major energy and mining corporations share approaches for real-time decision-making, quality control through sensor integration, and energy-efficient operation models. A set of contributions discuss strategies for accident prevention and project management in both developed and emerging economies, including Indonesia and Serbia. A substantial portion of the proceedings is dedicated to environmental management and post-mining rehabilitation. These chapters cover best practices in lake rehabilitation, emissions monitoring, and acidification detection using portable XRF analysis. Studies of the Hambach and Cottbus-Nord mines demonstrate the integration of ecological restoration into mining life cycles and the complex legal considerations surrounding nature protection and regional planning. In a section on continuous mining in consolidated rock, the book extends its applicability beyond lignite mining. Articles investigate the feasibility of deploying continuous systems in hard-rock conditions, drawing on experience from Germany, Kazakhstan, and Australia. Technological feasibility, cost modeling, and environmental implications are discussed, making this segment vital for operators exploring the transition from traditional shovel-truck systems to more integrated, energy-efficient technologies. The volume concludes with in-depth discussion on mining legislation and administration, exploring legal frameworks governing water management, waste disposal, and slope stability in regions like North Rhine-Westphalia. Regulatory insights into compensation, planning approvals, and stakeholder engagement offer essential reading for policy advisors and mining regulators. This wide-ranging volume is not only a technical resource for engineers, geologists, and planners but also a vital compendium for policymakers, environmental scientists, and graduate students. Whether your interest lies in automation, environmental compliance, digital modeling, or mine rehabilitation, this book provides the depth and breadth to inform research, shape policy, and guide best practice across the full lifecycle of surface mining.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover.
