Here, we investigated the application of leftover coal, which was collected from Ethiopian coal mining areas, as an adsorbent for the removal of phosphate from …
Monitoring, Analyzing, and Modeling for Single Subsidence Basin in Coal
Excessive exploitation of underground mine resources has caused serious land subsidence in China. This paper focused on monitoring and modeling the single subsidence basin in coal mining area based on SAR interferometry (InSAR). The optimum InSAR processing strategy to monitor the mining subsidence was built to obtain the …
Coal mining impacts on water environs around the Barapukuria coal
The present research makes an effort towards awareness of the impact of underground coal mining on water environment around the Barapukuria coal mining area, Dinajpur by direct field investigation, questionnaire survey and laboratory analysis. For this research, the three foremost errands have been mulled over which are the water …

For instance, land acquisition for coal mining by the government is carried out under the The Coal Bearing Areas (Acquisition and Development) Act, 1957, which pre-dates the Provisions of the Panchayats (Extension to Scheduled Areas) Act, 1996, commonly known as PESA, by almost 40 years.
Combining hydrochemistry and 13C analysis to reveal the
East China is a highly aggregated coal–grain composite area where coal mining and agricultural production activities are both flourishing. At present, the geochemical characteristics of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) in groundwater in coal mining areas are still unclear. This study combined hydrochemical and carbon isotope …
