Abstract In the article there is presented temporary situation of coal mining dumping grounds in Poland – their inventarization, localization and environmental impacts. The coal mining dumping grounds in Poland are situated in three coal basins: Upper Silesian Coal Basin, Lower Silesian Coal Basin and Lublin Coal Basin. In all mentioned areas occur ca. 270 coal mining waste dumps, covering surface of over 4400 ha. The main environmental impacts connected with dumping grounds are fire hazards, water pollution and a danger of slope sliding. The question of recovery of coal from disposed wastes with regard to legal regulations is discussed. There are presented technical methods of coal recovery considering environmental protection issues. There is a necessity and technical possibility of recovery of coal from the coal-mining waste dumps. The coal recovery reduces hazards of self-ignition and fires of the dump. It is also economically justified. The analysis of required regulations in legal system in Poland for safe exploitation of secondary materials from coal mining dumps is done. Socio-economic aspects of recovery of coal are discussed. The valid legal regulations in Poland regulate the issues connected with coal mining dumping grounds in a very general way. It is necessary to prepare supplements to the legal provisions or new regulations concerning post-mining dumping grounds.

Ukraine has significant coal resources. Chervonohrad Mining and Industrial District is the main coal complex in the west of Ukraine. In recent years, the average annual coal production in the mines of Chervonohrad Mining and Industrial District has amounted to 1.5 bn t, coal ash varies over a wide range of 25 to 53 %, average coal ash content of about 40 %. Coal mining has produced millions of tons of coal waste every year. Concentration of technogeneous coal objects (mines, mining infrastructure, coal-mining waste dumps and wastes of coal enrichment) in a relatively small area has caused environmental degradation. Therefore, technological and environmental aspects of carbon-containing technogenic objects are particularly important and actual. Coal-waste dumps in the territory of Chervonohrad Mining and Industrial District are characterized in detail. The dumps cover different areas – from 9–10 to 29–30 ha, the height of the dumps reaches 62 m at the mostly heights of 25–40 m. The total waste deposit in the dumps of existing mines has a volume of more than 20 million m3. The coal wastes from Mezhyrichanskaya mine coal-waste dump was investigated to determine the suitability for thermochemical processing. Technical characteristics of taken coal-waster samples is presented. The technogenic carbonaceous objects and the impact to the environment are evaluated. The developed and patented technical and technological solutions for the technogenic carbonaceous objects using are considered. It is shown that the concept of industrial development of coal wastes dumps is based on two aspects – extraction of valuable mineral components and energy utilization of carbonaceous wastes of coal production. Its patented as Patents of Ukraine technological schemes for terrestrial process in of solid carbonaceous raw material from dumps and sludges with the production of coal tar and synthesis gas CO + H2 are presented, as well as the scheme of a system for utilization of heat from coal dump. Recommendations for the implementation of innovative technologies are based on the results of the laboratory research. The purpose of the resolution is to obtain valuable components and energy from coal wasters while improving the environment.

Full textAbstract:
Coal mining enterprises have a variety of water sources, complex drainage structures, long production chain, and many links, which lead to uncoordinated water utilization and low water efficiency. Taking a large coal mining area of China as an example, a dynamic model was established to evaluate the water utilization efficiency based on the Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment (LCSA) theory. In the model, the influence of five aspects (including resources, economy, technology, society, and environment) and 19 factors was considered. The game theory method was adopted to calculate the fusion weights of the 19 factors according to the analytic hierarchy process and CRITIC method. The CW-VIKOR method was used to explain the dynamic evaluation results of water efficiency in the coal mining area. The results show that the environmental impacts of the mining system mainly come from three aspects: regional drainage, domestic sludge landfill and disposal, and water system electricity consumption. Electricity consumption in water systems has the greatest environmental impact, accounting for about 73%, regional drainage for about 26%, and domestic sludge landfill and disposal for about 1%.The CW-VIKOR approach can harmonize the interrelationships among resources, economy, technology, society, and environment. It is an effective method for LCSA of water resource in the coal mining area. The reliability of the evaluation results is high and close to the actual situation. The dynamic model established in this paper is also applicable to other coal mine areas, and only the factor weights need to be modified according to the specific characteristics of each coal mine. The model can provide guidance for optimal exploitation and allocation of coal mine water resources.

One of the environmental issues that affect the management of natural resources is mining activities. Based on Law No. 4 of 2009 concerning Mineral and Coal Mining began to open new horizons regarding the juridical aspects of mining management from its environmental aspects as well as being discussed about the independence of Indonesian mining. The role of the government in the formulation of environmental management supervisory policies must be optimized because natural resources have a very important role, especially in the context of increasing state revenue through clear and fair mechanisms of taxes, levies and profit sharing, and protection from ecological disasters. In line with regional autonomy, the gradual delegation of authority from the central government to regional governments in natural resource management is intended to increase the role of local communities and maintain environmental functions. The method in this research is normative legal research. The source of law used in this research is secondary legal material obtained by conducting literature review. Data analysis in this research is by qualitative analysis. Based on the contents of the discussion related to the supervision of environmental management in the mining sector based on Law no. 4 of 2009 concerning Mineral and Coal Mining covering environmental management, reclamation and post-mining including environmental management and monitoring in accordance with environmental management documents or environmental permits that are owned and have been approved; arrangement, restoration and improvement of land in accordance with its allocation; stipulation and disbursement of reclamation guarantee; post mining management; stipulation and disbursement of post-mining guarantees; and compliance with environmental quality standards in accordance with statutory provisions.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to integrate drivers of economic performance with environmental management aspects and core managerial functions of the Indian coal mining industry. Design/methodology/approach For this research paper, primary and secondary data have been used. The primary data were collected through a questionnaire survey which was distributed in the four subsidiaries of Coal India Limited. The validity and reliability of the questionnaire were tested by appropriate statistical techniques. Further, one-sample t-test and multiple linear regression analysis have been used for data analysis. Findings Testing of hypotheses reveals that there is a high level of integration of environmental management aspects with the seven core managerial functions, namely, production process, distribution process, beneficiation process, quality issues, stakeholders’ interest, health and safety and corporate strategy. Further, the paper identified that there is a positive association between integration of environmental aspects with core functions and the four drivers of economic performance and it is strongly associated with societal-related and risk-related drivers of economic performance. But it is less strongly associated with image-related and efficiency-related drivers of economic performance. Research limitations/implications This paper focuses on integrating the environmental management and core functions with key drivers of economic performance in coal mining industry which is one of the most polluting industries of the world. The limitation of the paper is that it is very specific and limited to the coal mining industry. Originality/value The paper contributes to the existing work by designing a framework which identifies the key drivers of economic performance and integrating it with the environmental management system of the organisation.

Full textAbstract:
Mining companies are responsible for the impacts that result from their mining activities even after the mining period has ended. At the same time, at the European and international levels, there is a lack of a detailed operational methodology comprising environmental risks during and after closure of underground coal mines. The environmental risk aspects that need to be considered when planning the closure of an underground coal mine and post closure in the broader environmental context are the following: modification of water flow scheme, surface instability, mine gas emission on the surface, and water and soil pollution. In this study, we focus on assessing groundwater risk in the context of an underground coal mine closure and evaluating the selected risk mitigation strategies in terms of performance and cost. The results from this study could be used for developing a final closure groundwater assessment plan by selecting the most feasible treatment alternatives for different environmental impacts, together with the transitional monitoring that could guarantee a hazard level in compliance with land reuse and the use of natural resources. Finally, the cost-efficient monitoring and treatment programs are used to estimate the financial provisions needed to mitigate groundwater risks during underground coal mine closure contexts.

The high-efficiency paste backfilling mining technology of solid waste in thick coal seam above 6 m is a complex system engineering, which involves mining, backfilling, supporting, subsidence, safety, and other aspects, so it is of great strategic significance to study the technology. In this paper, on the basis of comprehensive research methods such as laboratory experiments, theoretical analysis, computer programming, and other comprehensive research methods, aiming at the problems of low production capacity and high paste backfilling cost, taking the mining of No. 3 Coal Seam under buildings in Lu’an area as the research object, the stress distribution law of high-efficiency paste backfilling working face with solid waste in more than 6-meter-thick coal seam was carried out. The main achievements are as follows: On the basis of the theoretical establishment of the program method for the instability discriminant analysis of roof rock beam failure with the change of backfilling body unit strength with time, a numerical calculation model considering the change process of backfilling body strength is established. The stress distribution analysis of the E1302 working face before and during the mining process plays a guiding role in the actual production of the whole working face and roadway. The research results support the sustainable development of coal mining enterprises from technology, which has great economic, social, and environmental benefits, and can promote the industrialization of green mining high-tech in Shanxi Province and even the whole country and can promote the green mining technology progress of paste backfilling in coal mines in China, which is of great significance to the sustainable development of mining production and environmental construction.

The Independent Expert Scientific Committee on Coal Seam Gas and Large Coal Mining Development (IESC) is a statutory committee that provides scientific advice to Australian governments on the impacts that each coal seam gas (CSG) and large coal mining development may have on water resources. In this context, the IESC consider all aspects of a water resource, including water, organisms and ecosystems that contribute to or rely on them. The Office of Groundwater Impact Assessment (OGIA) is an independent statutory entity responsible for undertaking cumulative impact assessments from CSG and other petroleum production in Queensland, including the Surat Cumulative Management Area (CMA). OGIA also establishes impact management arrangements and identifies responsible tenure holders to implement specific aspects of those arrangements. Neither the IESC nor OGIA are regulators. Due to their respective functions both entities have different roles and interaction with CSG development in the Surat CMA. The IESC and OGIA engage regularly to ensure a shared understanding of knowledge, research and management. This paper provides an overview of key synergies between the roles and functions of the IESC and OGIA and considerations for proponents when using OGIA assessment in their environmental assessments that are referred to IESC for advice.

Full textAbstract:
Coal is the basic resource underpinning energy generation in China, however, constant, large-scale mining of coal results in many problems such as ecological destruction of mining areas. As a result, backfilling of solid waste underground is proposed to control strata and surface subsidence and to protect the environment. At present, these materials, such as granular material, cemented material and high-water-content materials are mainly used for backfilling. This study summarised the types of backfill materials that are used in coal mines in China along with the backfilling process. Moreover, distribution and characteristics of mines backfilled with these backfill materials were obtained and analysed. Considering the socio-environmental aspects that affect backfilling, this research proposed a guideline for the selection of backfill materials and then analysed specific engineering cases of three backfill materials. In addition, the future development of backfill materials was discussed. With extensive extraction of shallow coal resources in China and, therefore, rapid depletion of coal resources in eastern regions of China, coal mining depth is increasing significantly. As a result, it is required to investigate new backfill materials suited for the deep high-stress environment.

The article discusses issues related to the circular economy ideas applied to post-industrial facilities and infrastructure in Polish coal-mining areas. The aim of the article is to indicate directions for sustainability-oriented actions on reusing the remnants of closed mining plants and reshaping the areas which will be transformed under the just transition principles. For this purpose, the article reviews the terminology related to inventories of such facilities and their classification, and also indicates some locations of such facilities. The authors discuss the problem of legal regulations related to the process of closing a mining plant in Poland and also to EU guidelines on the allocation of financial resources from the Just Transition Fund (addressing the EU coal industry, climate change and the potential for clean energy solutions). This research aims at reviewing current research on the above aspects and at raising the problem of managing post-industrial facilities in light of their discontinued function due to mine closure. The article offers a preliminary diagnosis of the scale of research required to investigate the above problems in the view of the expected coal-exit in the Polish economy.

In order to mine the coal seam under super-thick hard roof, improve the utilization rate of resources and prolong the remaining service life of the mine, a case study of the Gaozhuang Coal Mine in the Zaozhuang Mining Area has been performed in this paper. Based on the specific mining geological conditions of ultra-close coal seams (#3up and #3low coal seams), their joint systematic analysis has been performed, with the focus made in the following three aspects: (i) prevention of rock burst under super-thick hard roof, (ii) deformation control of surrounding rock of roadways in the lower coal seam, and (iii) fire prevention in the goaf of working face. Given the strong bursting tendency observed in upper coal seam and lower coal seam, the technology of preventing rock burst under super-thick hard roof was proposed, which involved setting of narrow section coal pillars to protect roadways and interleaving layout of working faces. The specific supporting scheme of surrounding rock of roadways in the #3low1101 working face was determined, and the grouting reinforcement method of local fractured zones through Marithan was further proposed, to ensure the deformation control of surrounding rock of roadways in lower coal seams. The proposed fire prevention technology envisaged goaf grouting and spraying to plug leaks, which reduced the hazard of spontaneous combustion of residual coals in mined ultra-close coal seams. The technical and economic improvements with a direct economic benefit of 5.55 million yuan were achieved by the application of the proposed comprehensive technical support. The research results obtained provide a theoretical guidance and technical support of safe mining strategies of close coal seams in other mining areas.

This study was conducted to find a form of control policies on environmental management for mining of coal that regulate the coordination between stakeholders, authorities and the object of supervision, as well as a commitment to an active role between the government, business actors and the community in monitoring environmental management. The approach method in this research is socio-juridical, with qualitative and quantitative analysis methods. The results showed that both from the regulatory and implementation aspects, the coordination of the implementation of supervision had not been regulated and implemented optimally, so that it did not support the realization of an integrated environmental management supervision based on the principle of integration. Based on this, it is necessary to establish a legal system for environmental management in the form of regional regulations which contain an integrated supervisory system with a shared commitment between the leading sector

Balanced development of all aspects of a company’s activity requires creating appropriate development strategies with economic potential as the basic category. The issue of efficient company management and its development is connected with the management of its economic potential development. Special attention should be drawn to Donbass coal mining enterprises which have been seriously affected by the political situation in the state environment of the Ukraine. Due to the abolition of subsidies and reduction of budget investments a huge number of unprofitable mines have been closed. Problems with supplies of utilities and sales of coal outside Donetsk region interfere with the smooth manufacturing process. Thus, development of coal mining industry is impeded by lack of market pricing mechanisms and appropriate railway traffic, poorly developed banking and other social, economic and environmental problems. Yet, mining is one of the most significant industries and occupies an important place in the economy of Donetsk region, and is very capable of increasing its production volumes. The authors have analized the research on the problem of management of economic potential development of economic entities of different levels. They introduce the notion of «potential development of coal mining entreprise». The authors have analized the macroenvironment of the region and used it to reveal limitations, threats and opportunities of development of coal industry.

The article deals with the ecological and economic aspects of the spread of helminthiasis in the coal region on the example of the Kemerovo region - Kuzbass. The authors note that the dominant component of environmental damage in coal-mining regions includes not only the industrial development, but also the negative impact of human activity as an anthropogenic factor of the biosystem. Based on the integrative approach of interaction between medicine, economics, and ecology, the authors developed and proposed practical measures to reduce the spread of helminthiasis in Kuzbass, which can not only effectively solve this problem, but also become the basic concept of the modern style of ecological thinking on a global scale. The paper proves the thesis that for the effective functioning of subjects of the Russian Federation with a single-industry focus, such as Kuzbass, it is necessary to form an ecological and economic mechanism that ensures the sustainable development of mining regions of the Russian Federation in changing external and internal conditions that determine the functioning of not only the mineral resource complex of mining regions, but also their socioeconomic development.

Full textAbstract:
Recovery and reuse of the lands affected by mining activities in the Panga open pit is carried out on a complex project that takes into account pedological, agrochemical and spatial aspects that highlight the physico-chemical properties of the land and, implicitly, the productive and recreational potential. The importance of eliminating or mitigating of the anthropic impact and of land reuse also arises from the fact that once restoration works are completed, the influence of the mining activity on the environmental factors will be considerably reduced and the vegetation, fauna and zonal microclimate will be restored. One of the major consequences of mining activity refers to significant geomorphological changes. In the present paper, these geomorphological changes generated by the mining activities are analysed in order to identify the land reuse opportunities, to ensure the premises of sustainable development of the region.

AbstractObjectiveUnderground mining is associated with obvious risks that can lead to mass casualty incidents. Information about such incidents was analyzed in an integrated literature review.MethodsA literature search (1980-2015) identified 564 modern-era underground mining reports from countries sharing similar occupational health legislation. These reports were condensed to 31 reports after consideration of quality grading and appropriateness to the aim. The Haddon matrix was used for structure, separating human factors from technical and environmental details, and timing.ResultsMost of the reports were descriptive regarding injury-creating technical and environmental factors. The influence of rock characteristics was an important pre-event environmental factor. The organic nature of coal adds risks not shared in hard-rock mines. A sequence of mechanisms is commonly described, often initiated by a human factor in interaction with technology and step-wise escalation to involve environmental circumstances. Socioeconomic factors introduce heterogeneity. In the Haddon matrix, emergency medical services are mainly a post-event environmental issue, which were not well described in the available literature. The US Quecreek Coal Mine incident of 2002 stands out as a well-planned rescue mission.ConclusionEvaluation of the preparedness to handle underground mining incidents deserves further scientific attention. Preparedness must include the medical aspects of rescue operations. (Disaster Med Public Health Preparedness. 2018;12:138–146)

BACKGROUND: Post-coal mine activities must be carried out by considering good management principles, to avoid negative environmental impacts, especially to avoid land surface imbalance, to avoid destruction of flora and fauna, and more importantly, to maintain the public health. The post-mining regulations based on the priorities of public health and environmental sustainability are designed to increase the human resource quality for the interests of regional development. AIM: This study aims to describe the post-coal mine policy in East Borneo and to formulate the post-coal mine policy as a form of control over ex-mine land from the aspect of environmental health. METHODS: This study uses the qualitative research design. It is a sociolegal type of research with the case study approach toward the currently developing post-coal mine reclamation. This study uses the fishbone analysis. RESULTS: The results of this research show that the supervision toward the ex-mines is still weak. It leads to expanding environmental destruction and some of the companies’ ignorance toward reclamation and post-mining obligations. This condition impacts the water quality, as it is the people’s necessity in fulfilling their basic needs. CONCLUSION: There needs to be a post-coal mine regulation through policies which prioritize environmental sustainability and public health. It includes the optimization of the ex-mine supervision, new regulations as the implementation of the central government’s constitutional regulation, and inspection of environmental health in achieving quality human resources of the region.

Abstract This article presents a pilot study on the local community’s social perception regarding coal mines in Upper Silesia. The research was performed in connection with the smog, which was persistent and harmful to residents during the winter months of 2016. The researchers put forward to the local community the following two survey questions: 1. Is the image of coal mines in the eyes of the local community positive or negative? 2. Are coal mines socially responsible and is coal a good energy source? The aim of this article is to indicate the relationship of the local community to the presence of hard coal mines in the neighbourhood and their social role. Also, this work looks to identify the nuisances perceived by the inhabitants of the examined region about mining enterprises and whether these burdens should result in abandonment of hard coal mining. Pilot studies were conducted with the use of a diagnostic survey. The study was carried out in January 2017 on a sample of 267 people, comprising Silesian University of Technology students residing in Upper Silesia. An environmental survey technique was used. The researchers hypothesise that the image of mining and coal as a fuel for the local community is negative and the mines are not socially responsible enterprises. This research shows that the operation of mines is essential for society and its stability as it affects economic, social and energy safety. A large proportion of the respondents defined the image of mining as positive (108 people), but 76 people indicated that the image was rather negative. Most respondents pointed to the benefits of the mine’s operation. Opinions on social responsibility were divided, and most respondents failed to provide concrete examples of social engagement, so the first hypothesis was partly confirmed. Although the respondents pointed to various nuisances resulting from the mining companies operating in their environment, they also recognised significant social aspects related to employability and access to relatively cheap fuel. However, they do not realise the social involvement of mines, which is one of the conditions of sustainable development. Pilot studies allowed for the initial identification of problems and verification of the research tool utilised in this study.

Abstract The study presents a management model for post-mining areas, which includes the process of reclamation and management in the context of the socio-ecological system. This means that it is necessary to include the relations in the management system that occur between the main stakeholders (internal relations) and the ecological, economic and socio-cultural conditions of the environment (external relations). Verification of the recommended model was carried out on the basis of the analysis of environmental, economic and socio-cultural processes currently observed in the Adamów Brown Coal Basin, which is in the phase of liquidation. The conclusion presents constraints in the legal system that are not propitious for comprehensive solutions in the field of revitalization.

The legal aspect of subsoil use in our country is one of the most controversial today. It requires its improvement to create the conditions for the transition to a sustainable economic development in our country. In addition, a comparative analysis of the legal documents of the Russian Federation in this area shows that there are obvious flaws in this issue for legislative purposes. The article assesses the state of legal interfacing in the field of mining (processing), the use of coal and coal products, and discusses the problems arising in this industry. Perspectives were identified and the need to develop special legislation in the coal sector, consistent with the norms of environmental, civil, labor and other branches of legislation was shown.

Full textAbstract:
Background. Pennsylvania, with thousands of abandoned coal mines and miles of streams polluted with acid mine drainage, has the largest domestic coal mining burden contributing to deterioration of communities. Objectives. To evaluate contextual aspects by examining associations between coal abandoned mine lands (AML) and community measures of socioeconomic deprivation, social disorganization, and physical disorder. Methods. AML exposure data from the Reclaimed Abandoned Mine Land Inventory System were used to create density, diversity, accessibility, and clustering metrics. The three community context outcome measures were comprised of 14 census variables. In community-level analyses, 10 AML variables were evaluated separately with each dimension of community context, adjusting for covariates, in communities with and without abandoned mines. Results. We observed consistent associations between higher AML burden and worse socioeconomic deprivation, negative relations with social disorganization, but no statistically significant associations with physical disorder. Six of 10 AML variables were associated with socioeconomic deprivation, many consistently exhibiting exposure-effect patterns of worse deprivation with greater AML. Conclusions. Higher AML was associated with higher socioeconomic deprivation. These results can help prioritize the use of Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act funds and inform decisions regarding Marcellus shale drilling to prevent analogous environmental degradation and public health impacts.

This article examines the drivers of American support for environmental projects in the multilateral development banks (MDBs). We first describe how U.S. Executive Directors are guided by Congressional directives regarding environmental aspects of MDB projects. The article then turns to statistical analysis of the strategic and normative drivers of U.S. positions on MDB projects. Our analysis finds mixed support for environmental factors driving U.S. votes. The United States is more inclined to vote against “dirty” projects (i.e., mining, coal, and oil) rather than specifically support “green” projects (i.e., projects related toward climate change or biodiversity). The overall environmental performance of a country had a minor influence on whether the United States would support proposals from that country, but the United States was much more likely to disapprove of a project if a project failed to undergo an environmental analysis or failed the analysis in anyway.

This study aims at collecting data on adults’ knowledge and behaviour on environmental degradation, government’s programs in resolving environmental degradation, and alternative solution to resolve the environmental degradation through holistic management design for adults.Qualitative research using interview guidelines as a reference for the interview was implemented in order to collect data on the adults’ knowledge; sample cases of environmental degradation completed with photos and interview guidelines were used to collect gather adults’ behaviour (response) toward environmental degradation; interview guidelines were used as a reference for FGD to collect data on government programs which were implemented to resolve environmental degradaion after coal mining The alternative solution to resolve environmental degradation was the outcome of research and development conducted by Hardoko et al. in 2016 in different districts; however, these disricts shared similar problem characteristics since they are located in the same province of East Kalimantan.The location of this research is Berau District, East Kalimantan Province. The research respondents were 10 adults who were above 40 years old and lived around the coal mining site. The respondents of government programs were 4 staff from Mining and Energy Agency and Environment Agency. It applied the descriptive analysis and categorisation in tables which was interpreted. The adults’ average knowledge on environmental degradation was in the category of good; while their behaviour on it was in the category of sufficient. The government programs which were implemented to resolve environmental degradation were in form of material assistance; however, there was not any non formal program to alter adults’ behaviour from destructive behaviour to protective behaviour.This study found that the government programs were not suitable to resolve the environmental degradation in which behaviour was the root cause for the problems.. Having found this, a solution was offered in form of the knowledge and behaviour management design based on holistic approach for adult learning program as an alternative solution for government in solving environment problems after coal mining activities. The design is holistic because it includes knowledge, attitude, and behaviour aspect with contextual environment media which is covered in three stages of learning activities.This research has never been conducted before; particularly on the topic of adults knowledge and behaviour after mining in Berau District, East Kalimantan Province. The three stages of learning in the holistic management design for adults in solving the environmental degradation were the outcomes of the developed research conducted by Hardoko et al. 2016.

AbstractUnder the background of the ecological civilization era, rapidly obtaining coal mining information, timely assessing the ecological environmental impacts, and drafting different management and protection measures in advance to enhance the capacity of green mine construction have become the urgent technical problems to be solved at present. Simulating and analyzing mining subsidence is the foundation for a land reclamation plan. The Cellular Automata (CA) model provides a new tool for simulating the evolution of mining subsidence. This paper takes a mine in East China as a research area, analyses the methods and measures for developing a model of mining subsidence based on the theories of CA and mining technology, then discusses the results of simulation from different aspects. Through comparative analysis, it can be found that the predicted result is well consonant with the observation data. The CA model can simulate complex systems. The system of mining subsidence evolution CA is developed with the support of ArcGIS and Python, which can help to realize data management, visualization, and spatial analysis. The dynamic evolution of subsidence provides a basis for constructing a reclamation program. The research results show that the research methods and techniques adopted in this paper are feasible for the dynamic mining subsidence, and the work will continue to do in the future to help the construction of ecological civilization in mining areas.

Kegiatan industri pertambangan batubara selain mempunyai dampak positif karena dapat dapat memenuhi kebutuhan hidup masyarakat dan mendatangkan hasil yang cukup besar sebagai sumber devisa, tetapi sisis lain mempunyai dampak negatif yaitu dengan banyaknya perijinan yang dikeluarkan maka mengakibatkan terjadinya kerusakan hutan dan pencemaran lingkungan sehingga mengganggu kesehatan masyarakat sekitarnya. Dengan banyaknya izin yang dikeluarkan oleh kepala daerah untuk kegiatan usaha pertambangan batubara, maka pengawasan menjadi kurang sehingga penegakan hukum menjadi lemah. Dalam aspek perizinan dibidang pertambangan mineral dan batubara pada era otonomi daerah dengan terbitnya Undang-Undang Nomor 11 Tahun 1967 yang awalnya bersifat sentralistik kemudian sejak diterbitkannya Undang-Undang Nomor 22 Tahun 1999 dan diperbaharui dengan Undang-Undang Nomor 32 Tahun 2004 menjadi bersifat desentralistik sehingga aspek perizinan di bidang pertambangan menjadi tumpang tindih antara kewenangan menteri dan kewenangan bupati seperti kewenangan yang bersifat desentralisasik melalui Undang-undang Nomor 22 Tahun 1999 tersebut, ditarik kembali menjadi sentralistik melalui Undang-undang Nomor 23 Tahun 2014 sehingga terjadi tarik menarik kepentingan untuk mengamandemen undang Nomor 23 Tahun 2014 tentang mineral dan batubara tersebut.AbstractCoal mining industry activities have positive and negative impacts, the first, it can satisfy society life necessities and come to a huge advantage as foreign exchange, and then the latter, by issuing of area utilization operation permits will cause deforestation and environmental pollution that damage the health of the surrounding community. Many permits of coal mining activities have been issued by local leaders that bring about controlling function to become not optimal so it will influence into the law enforcement get worse. In permit aspects of mineral and coal mining in the era of regional autonomy by stipulated the Act Number 11, Year 1967, initially it was centralisation then by issued the Act Number 22 Year 1999 and refurbished with the Act Number 32 Year 2004 turned into decentralisation so that the permit aspects in mining become overlapping authority between ministry and regent such as decentralized authority through the Act Number 23 Year 2014 so ,it becomes conflict of interest to amendment the Act.

Selection and evaluation of suppliers is a complex issue that depends mostly on the quality of the decision-making process. The aim of this paper is to point to the possibility of applying multi-criteria analysis (Fuzzy TOPSIS method) for the selection of suppliers operating in mining systems in the case of the Public Company for Underground Coal Mining Resavica (JPPEU Resavica) -Serbia. Ranking of companies is done based on ten criteria, and it has considered a list of five suppliers (Supplier 1; Supplier 2; Supplier 3; Supplier 4; Supplier 5). The criteria cover the most important aspects of suppliers' selection such as: management and organization, quality, technical ability, production facilities and capacity, financial position, delivery, service, relationship-connectivity, security and environmental protection and price. In doing so, it has used the experts knowledge from JPPEU Resavica to determine the significance and impact of certain criteria to the process of supplier selection and evaluation of suppliers in regard to each criterion. Fuzzy TOPSIS method was used for determining the final ranking of suppliers. The supplier with the top rank was the Supplier 4. The obtained results indicate that the proposed method gives excellent results and can be used for solving various, and the most complex problems that occur in mining systems, as well as in other production systems.

A lot of electrical energy in Serbia was used for heating, mainly for domes- tics. As it is the most expensive source for heating the government announced a National Program of Energy Efficiency with only one aim, to reduce the consumption of electric energy for the heating. One of the contributions to mentioned reduction is production of coal pellets from the fine coal and its use for domestic heating but also for heating of schools, hospitals, military barracks, etc. Annual production of fine coal in Serbia is 300,000 tons. The stacks of fine coal make a lot difficulties to the each mine because of environmental pollution, spontaneous combustion, low price, smaller market, etc. To prevent the difficulties and to give the contribution to National Program of Energy Efficiency researchers from the Department of Mining Engineering, University of Belgrade, designed and realized the project of fine coal pelletizing.

The South African coalmining industry has a rich and long history and contributes significantly to the economic wellbeing of the country. Despite its importance in developing the economy, the industry is causing severe environmental challenges. For example, Emalahleni, a city situated in the Mpumalanga Province in South Africa, has been exposed for over a century to the continuous mining of coal. Challenges experienced include the sterilisation of land due to underground fires, water pollution, surface collapse, and acidification of topsoil. Previous work by the researchers formulated a conceptual framework aimed at addressing some of these challenges. In an extension of this work, the authors comprehensively enhance the preliminary framework on the strength of a set of qualitative propositions coupled with a parallel, exploratory survey. Interviews among various stakeholders were conducted, aimed at enhancing the components of the framework, followed by a focus group to validate the associations among the components of the framework. Aspects reinforced by the survey findings include the role of environmental management accounting, tools like material-flow cost accounting and life-cycle costing, and regulatory and accountability aspects. New aspects elicited from the interviews and the focus group include stakeholder education and training with respect to the value of environmental management accounting for the coalmining industry; adherence to risk management linked to environmental challenges; advanced technologies, for example, financial modelling; and an improved understanding of waste management aspects around acid mine drainage, volatile organic components, CO2 emissions, and post-mine closure. The novelty of the work lies in the approach taken to address coalmining challenges. Previous authors concentrated mostly on scientific and engineering aspects, while this research looks at it from an accounting perspective using environmental management accounting tools to address these challenges.

Increasing the degree of mineral processing directly determines the environmental burden on the nature of countries that concentrate on the extraction of mineral raw materials. In the modern world, with the transition to the priorities of advanced technological structures, the creation of a dynamically developing innovative system is becoming increasingly important for mineral extracting countries in the context of the transition to sustainable development. Due to the large territorial fragmentation of the Russian mining regions, it is difficult to identify development of mechanisms and tools for each of them, which provide for the formation of a new technological structures based on the use of the latest advances in science and technology and will help putting the economy on a sustainable development path. The author examines the aspects of the organization of innovation activity at the regional level and substantiates the need for innovative modernization of resource-producing regions, in particular through the creation of innovative regional clusters. The article discusses the prospects of innovative modernization of the coal mining cluster in Kemerovo region.

Membrane distillation (MD) could be applicable in zero liquid discharge applications. This is due to the fact that MD is applicable at high salinity ranges which are generally outside the scope of reverse osmosis (RO) applications, although this requires proper management of precipitating salts to avoid membrane fouling. One way of managing these salts is with MD crystallisation (MDC). This paper focuses on the applicability of MDC for the treatment of mining wastewater by thermodynamically modelling the aqueous chemistry of the process at different temperatures. The paper is based on the typical brine generated from an RO process in the South African coal mining industry and investigates the effect water recovery and operating temperature have on the salts that are predicted to crystallise out, the sequence in which they will crystallise out and purities as a function of the water recovery. The study confirmed the efficacy of using thermodynamic modelling as a tool for investigating and predicting the crystallisation aspects of the MDC process. The key finding from this work was that, for an MDC process, a purer product can be obtained at higher operating temperatures and recoveries because of the inverse solubility of calcium sulphate.

Ongoing transformation of coal industry taking place in Silesian Voivodeship lead to increasing number of characteristic objects and post-industrial areas. Most of them are degraded and vacant even if they own resources of measurable natural or socio-economic value. Therefore effective scheme of their revitalisation is a high priority target for regional authorities and society. Multidimensional approach to the analysis of post-mining areas requires ensuring proper scope and quality of data, integrating various areas of knowledge and information. An example of complex approach is an information platform based on analytical and expert modules the OPI-TPP system, which is a tool to support decision-making processes on the future use of post-industrial areas. OPI-TPP based on Geographical Information System is an integrated tool dedicated for environmental impact assessment and provides measures that are necessary for regional and local stakeholders and reinforces decision making process. This paper describes the methodology of post-mining area assessment in environmental impact aspect and exemplary applications with the use of the platform. The main functional relations of the system were presented, allowing to use the available range of data and analysis modules for the purpose of supporting environmental impact assessment for post-mining areas management in the Silesia Voivodeship.

AbstractIn recent years, the economic importance of gangue mined during coal production has changed and it is currently treated more and more often not as waste but as a source of mineral resources for economic use. The overriding objective throughout the reclamation process of open-pit mines associated with the utilization of external material is to make sure that the placement of waste rock on the surface does not cause damage to the environment. The paper presents results of the diagnosis and evaluation of the possibility of filling open-pit mine workings with mining waste or other materials, for example aggregates produced on the basis of gangue, originating in the Janina Mine mining plant (a subsidiary of TAURON Wydobycie S.A.). The study involved aggregate or coal silts from dewatering on the filter presses. The evaluation refers to the legal aspects and takes the requirements of pollution prevention into account, with a particular emphasis on soil, surface water and groundwater. The analysis of the potential impact on the soil and water environment of the project involving reclamation of the open-pit excavation with the use of minerals or waste from coal mining was carried out based on a study of the total content of sulfur and other elements in the samples pierwiastków (As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Hg, Mo, Ni, Pb, V and Zn), as well as of the leaching of components. Moreover, an examination of the coefficient of permeability and porosity was conducted, which allowed the suitability of the material for the construction of insulating layers to be determined. The physical and chemical analyses were conducted on a total of over a dozen samples of waste rock, a byproduct of the enrichment of coal in the Janina Mine plant. The specific studies of the total sulfur content were conducted for the 16 primary samples scattered into 15 fractions each. Moreover, the so-called secondary samples were created, meaning that fine fractions of less than 20 mm and less than 10 mm were rejected. The total content of the selected components was examined for such crafted samples and their concentrations were determined in the leachable form (batch test 1:10). In the case of use of waste rock as an aggregate for quarry reclamation, a comparative analysis was applied to the legal requirements assigned to the mining waste and the quality of soil and water environment. Based on the conducted studies, it has been concluded that the coal silts (filter cakes) are characterized by good insulating properties and can be used for waterproofing objects, especially in the industrial, communications and mining areas. However, coal silts do not meet the quality requirements, mainly due to their slightly increased chlorides content, in addition to being a waste, which in some cases limits the possibility of their use. The best quality parameters were found for the gangue from the Janina Mine (on the basis of which aggregates are manufactured), but deprived of fine fractions. Physical and chemical analyses of the total content of elements in the secondary samples showed that the obtained values are within the allowable ranges determined by appropriate regulations for the vast majority of samples. The limit of 1% was assumed for the sulfur content. The conducted research on the leaching of pollutants indicates that the tested samples do not introduce contaminants exceeding the limit values for the analyzed metals and sulfates. Only single exceedances of the analyzed parameters are observed. The test results allow to conclude that it is possible to obtain a useful product that meets the requirements of environmental protection, but only after the rejection of fine fractions of the waste material.

Quarrying C Mining Activities, which are carried out by residents in the river area in Majalengka Regency, are mining sand individually or in groups in the form of traditional micro and medium enterprises. The existence of the business is carried out with various limitations namely minimal technology, the existence of limited human resources, small capital aspects and activities carried out by ignoring the licensing factor by referring to Law Number 4 of 2009 concerning Mineral and Coal Mining. Traditional miners must have a People's Mining License (IPR) granted by the local Regional Government. The fact is that the mining activities are carried out without a permit and public policies are needed from the continuous support of the local government to maintain the environmental quality of the river basin. The formulation of the problem is how is the implementation of Majalengka District Government's policy to maintain the quality of the river's environmental quality? And how is the legal understanding of traditional illegal miners in the District of Palasah Majalengka Regency to build awareness and legal compliance? This study uses the hermeneutic paradigm with the aim of understanding the interaction of actors who are involved or involved themselves in a social process, including social processes that are relevant to legal issues. The so-called actors in this research are the traditional illegal miners in Palasah Sub-District, Majalengka Regency. The legal basis for local community control of sand mining activities carried out naturally and is handed down for more than 50 (fifty) years. However, the legal basis for the control is not enough, in this case the people conducting sand mining must have a People's Mining License (IPR) granted by the local government as regulated in Article 1 paragraph (10) of Law No. 4 of 2009 concerning Mineral and Coal Mining.Kegiatan Penambangan Galian C, yang dilakukan oleh penduduk di kawasan sungai di Kabupaten Majalengka yaitu penambangan pasir secara perorangan atau berkelompok dalam bentuk usaha kecil mikro dan menengah secara tradisional. Eksistensi usaha tersebut dilakukan dengan berbagai keterbatasan yaitu minim teknologi, keberadaan sumber daya manusia yang terbatas, aspek permodalan kecil serta kegiatan yang dilakukan dengan mengabaikan faktor perizinan dengan merujuk kepada Undang-Undang Nomor 4 Tahun 2009 tentang Pertambangan Mineral dan Batu Bara. Penambang tradisioanl harus mempunyai Izin Pertambangan Rakyat (IPR) yang diberikan oleh Pemerintah Daerah setempat. Faktanya aktivitas penambangan tersebut, dilakukan tanpa adanya izin dan dibutuhkan kebijakan publik dari keberpihakan Pemerintah Daerah setempat secara berkesinambungan untuk menjaga kualitas lingkungan hidup kawasan sungai. Rumusan masalahnya bagaimanakah implementasi kebijakan Pemerintah Daerah Kabupaten Majalengka untuk menjaga kualitas mutu lingkungan hidup sungai? Dan bagaimanakah pemahaman hukum penambang liar tradisional di Kecamatan Palasah Kabupaten Majalengka untuk membangun kesadaran dan kepatuhan hukum? Penelitian ini menggunakan paradigma hermeneutika dengan tujuan untuk memahami interaksi para aktor yang tengah terlibat atau melibatkan diri ke dalam suatu proses sosial, termasuk proses-proses sosial yang relevan dengan permasalahan hukum. Yang disebut aktor dalam penelitian ini adalah para penambang liar tradisional yang ada di Kecamatan Palasah Kabupaten Majalengka. Dasar hukum penguasaan oleh masyarakat lokal atas kegiatan penambangan pasir yang dilakukan yang terjadi secara alamiah dan turun temurun selama 50 (lima puluh) tahun lebih. Akan tetapi, dasar hukum penguasaan tersebut tidaklah cukup, dalam hal ini masyarakat yang melakukan penambangan pasir harus mempunyai Izin Pertambangan Rakyat (IPR) yang diberikan oleh Pemerintah Daerah setempat sebagaimana yang diatur dalam Pasal 1 ayat (10) Undang-Undang No. 4 Tahun 2009 tentang Pertambangan Mineral dan Batu Bara

ABSTRAK Good Mining Practice (GMP) atau kaidah teknik pertambangan yang baik adalah suatu kegiatan pertambangan yang mentaati aturan, terencana dengan baik, menerapkan teknologi yang sesuai yang berlandaskan pada efektifitas dan efisiensi, melaksanakan konservasi batubara, mengendalikan dan memelihara fungsi lingkungan, menjamin keselamatan kerja, mengakomodir keinginan dan partisipasi masyarakat, menghasilkan nilai tambah, meningkatkan kemampuan dan kesejahteraan masyarakat sekitar serta menciptakan pembangunan yang berlanjutan. Penerapan kaidah teknik pertambangan yang baik pada pengusahaan mineral dan batubara sebagaimana amanat UU No. 4 Tahun 2009 tentang Pertambangan Mineral dan Batubara, salah satunya adalah melaksanakan kewajiban pengelolaan keselamatan dan kesehatan kerja pertambangan serta pengelolaan dan pemantauan lingkungan pertambangan. Implementasi amanat undang-undang tersebut harus diiringi komitmen yang tinggi untuk melindungi keselamatan pekerja dan operasi pertambangan, paralel dengan upaya perlindungan serta pencegahan terjadinya gangguan terhadap lingkungan hidup. Dalam implementasi praktek pertambangan yang baik dan benar ini, semua pihak (Pemerintah, pelaku bisnis, dan masyarakat) harus berperan aktif dan saling melakukan kontrol. Berdasarkan UU No. 4 Tahun 2009 tentang Pertambangan Mineral dan Batubara, ada beberapa ciri good mining practice, beberapa diantaranya adalah kepedulian terhadap Kesehatan dan Keselamatan Kerja (K3) serta keselamatan operasi pertambangan dan penerapan prinsip konservasi sumberdaya dan cadangan. Dalam realisasi program good mining practice di lingkungan PT Kuansing Inti Makmur (KIM), maka dibuat manual book dan checklist sebagai acuan untuk melakukan standardisasi dan perapian tambang yang elegan. Dalam penerapan awal, diperoleh kesulitan karena merupakan hal baru bagi Pengawas. Setelah program berjalan 1 bulan, maka menjadi biasa. Di bulan pertama, yaitu Juli 2018, perolehan persentase GMP di PT KIM sangat kecil, yaitu hanya 61% saja. Padahal target minimal yang harus dicapai adalah 85%. Kemudian dilakukan upaya sosialisasi dan sharing mengenai aspek penilaian GMP. Setelah itu dilakukan improvisasi antara Tim Mine Operation dan Mitra Kerja di lapangan sehingga di Semester II Tahun 2018 bisa tercapai sesuai target, yaitu 85%.Di area industri 4.0 diperlukan metode paling efektif dan efisien sekaligus menerapkan value Sinarmas yaitu continuous improvement sehingga memudahkan Tim Mine Operation dalam realisasi good mining practice di lingkungan PT KIM. Maka dibuat GMP online, yaitu Pengawas dapat melakukan submit item checklist good mining practice dengan sistem online, yaitu melalui komputer ataupun handphone. Hal ini sangat mempermudah bagi Tim Mine Operation karena yang biasanya harus mengisi checklist form diatas kertas saat di lapangan, dengan tool ini menjadi lebih mudah dan cepat dengan sekali klik saja pada link GMP online maka sudah bisa langsung mengisi untuk melakukan penilaian. Kata kunci : good mining practice, standardisasi, perapian tambang, online system. ABSTRACT Good Mining Practice (GMP) is a mining activity that obeys rules, is well planned, applies appropriate technology based on effectiveness and efficiency, carries out coal conservation, controls and maintains environmental functions, guarantees work safety, accommodates the desire and participation of the community, generating added value, increasing the ability and welfare of the surrounding community and creating sustainable development. The application of good mining technical principles to the exploitation of minerals and coal as mandated by Law No. 4 of 2009 concerning Mineral and Coal Mining, one of which is to carry out the obligation to manage the safety and health of mining work and to manage and monitor the mining environment. Implementation of the mandate of the law must be accompanied by a high commitment to protect the safety of workers and mining operations, in parallel with efforts to protect and prevent disruption to the environment. In the implementation of good and correct mining practices, all parties (The Government, business people, and communities) must play an active role and exercise mutual control. Based on Law No. 4 of 2009 concerning Mineral and Coal Mining, there are several characteristics of good mining practice, some of which are concern for Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) as well as the safety of mining operations and the application of the principle of conservation of resources and reserves. In the realization of a good mining practice program within PT Kuansing Inti Makmur (KIM), a manual book and checklist are made as a reference for standardization and an elegant mine fireplace. In the initial application, difficulties were obtained because it was new to Supervisors. After the program runs for 1 month, it becomes normal. In the first month, July 2018, the percentage of GMP at PT KIM was very small, only 61%. Even though the minimum target that must be achieved is 85%. Then an effort was made to socialize and share aspects of GMP assessment. After that an improvisation was made between the Mine Operation Team and the Partners in the field so that in Semester II 2018 it could be achieved on target, which is 85%.In the industrial area 4.0, the most effective and efficient method is needed while applying Sinarmas value, namely continuous improvement, making it easier for the Mine Operation Team to realize good mining practice within PT KIM. So GMP is made online, which is the Supervisor can submit good mining practice checklist items with the online system, namely through a computer or mobile phone. This makes it very easy for the Mine Operation Team because those who usually have to fill in the checklist form on paper while in the field, with this tool become easier and faster with just one click on the GMP online link then it can immediately fill out to make an assessment.
