About this title

Synopsis

This book explores the applications of engineering in mining to improve efficiency, reduce risk, and increase profitability. It begins by discussing the various types of mining operations, including open-cut and underground mining, before exploring key preparatory processes like adits, cross-cut tunnels, and vertical shafts. The author delves into specific machinery used in mining, including winding engines, hoists, and pumps, and examines the challenges associated with ventilation and the removal of water from mines. The book also covers the use of explosives in mining, as well as the specific techniques employed for different types of mining, such as pillar and room systems and hydraulic mining. By presenting a comprehensive overview of the engineering principles and techniques used in mining, this book provides valuable insights into the safe and efficient extraction of valuable resources from the earth, making it an essential resource for mining engineers and professionals alike.
