Coal mining is the process of extracting coal from the ground. Coal is valued for its energy content and since the 1880s, has been widely used to generate electricity. Steel and cement industries use coal as a fuel for extraction of iron from iron ore and for cement production. In the United Kingdom and South Africa, a coal mine and its structures are a colliery, a coal mine – a pit, and the ...

Past investments in clean coal technology have provided dramatic benefits in the form of reduced emissions and cleaner air. It's imperative that these investments continue. Early work to develop clean coal technologies focused on efforts to reduce traditional pollutant emissions like SO 2, nitrogen oxides NO x, particulate matter, and mercury.

Ⅱ.Background of Technology Development Protecting and utilizing mine water resources is a strategically important task ¾Coal mining results in the loss of underground water and generates mine water. At present, 8 billion tonnes of mine water is generated by coal mining every year, 75% of which is lost in China. ¾China has a shortage of water resources.

The concept of two-speed innovation—an agile approach to going after the most accessible big-ticket items, combined with a more measured approach to changing core systems and architectures—is now commonplace. The approach to applying new technologies in mining must follow the same principle.
