Backbreak is an undesirable outcome in blasting operations caused by factors such as equipment failure, improper fragmentation, unstable mine walls, reduced drilling efficiency, and other issues that contribute to increased mining operation costs. To overcome these problems effectively, this study developed a least square support vector machine (LS...
This study integrates data analysis and machine learning techniques to investigate workplace injury prediction and mitigation in surface mining operations. Injury data (from March 2023 to Aug 2024) was collected from mechanised limestone mines in Raipur, Chhattisgarh, encompassing 446 workers' demographic details, health data and workplace conditio...
Methane emissions from coal mining remain a significant environmental challenge in the European Union, particularly in the context of climate change commitments and the ongoing transformation of the energy sector. This article analyses methane emissions from surface and underground coal mining, distinguishing between emissions from mining activitie...
In order to alleviate the risk of landslides on high and steep slopes during excavation, slope protection coal pillars are commonly increased at the site to maintain slope stability, which causes a considerable waste of coal. In roof cutting for pressure relief at quarries, the movement of the overburden structure is artificially regulated by blast...
Mining is a critical sector for Pakistan's economic development, providing essential resources and contributing significantly to GDP. However, mining activities also pose substantial environmental and socioeconomic challenges. This Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) evaluates the environmental impacts of mining in Pakistan and proposes actionabl...
