Climate Change Impacts On Groundwater In Mapc Communities, Jayne F. Knott, Paul Kirshen, Ellen Douglas
School for the Environment General Publications
Groundwater is important for human health and the environment but has often been overlooked in the development of climate change adaptation strategies. This is because groundwater is rarely visible, and because changes in groundwater levels are not as dramatic as extreme flooding events, coastal storms, and storm surge. The importance of groundwater for drinking water, natural resources, and streamflow is well documented. Groundwater levels are also important considerations in the design of pavements, underground infrastructure, foundations, on-site wastewater treatment systems, and in the remediation of hazardous waste disposal areas. Groundwater is especially important in the wet northeast, where groundwater levels …

Highlighting The Disconnect Between Legislation And Sustainable Cannabis, Johnathon A. Macias
IdeaFest: Interdisciplinary Journal of Creative Works and Research from Cal Poly Humboldt
Current legislation takes little regard for two major issues challenging the cannabis industry. The carbon footprint and legislation of cannabis are looked at where it is realized that neither is currently sustainable long-term. Solutions that require social responsibility from the legislation to preserve the culture and industry are delved into.

Uncertainty Analysis Of Operational Conditions In Selective Artificial Ground Freezing Applications, Ahmad Zueter, Saad Akhtar, Agus Sasmito
Journal of Sustainable Mining
Artificial ground freezing (AGF) systems are susceptible to uncertain parameters highly affecting their performance. Particularly, selective artificial ground freezing (S-AGF) systems involve several uncertain operational conditions. In this study, uncertainty analysis is conducted to investigate four operational parameters: 1) coolant inlet temperature, 2) coolant flow rate, 3) pipes emissivity, and 4) pipes eccentricity. A reduced-order model developed and validated in our previous work for field-scale applications is exploited to simulate a total of 5,000 cases. The uncertain operational parameters are set according to Monte Carlo analysis based on field observations of a field-scale freeze-pipe in the mining industry extending to …

The article presents and summarises the current state of research and laboratory results on the carbonation of fly ash with carbon dioxide in the context of its use in mining engineering. Based on previous publications and patent applications, the possibilities of using carbonated fly ash from fluidised bed boilers for the following applications were discussed: securing excavations particularly susceptible to fire hazards, shotcreting and securing longwalls and supports, constructing cases, securing decommissioned shafts, and others, which means wherever the use of cement is required. It was pointed out that the removal of excess free calcium oxide makes it possible to …

Addressing Specific Safety And Occupational Health Challenges For The Canadian Mines Located In Remote Areas Where Extreme Weather Conditions Dominate, Rachid Halabi, Mustafa Kumral
Journal of Sustainable Mining
The number of mining operations is increasing in the Canadian North, where extreme weather conditions govern. Currently, many mine development projects are also in progress in this region. These mines’ working atmosphere and employment circumstances are highly different from regular mines. One of the main differences is the special safety issues of the Canadian North. The primary sources of these special issues are: the difficulty of finding skilled employees; high employee turnover rate; insufficient training and certification requirements; delicate employment circumstances affecting the psychological well-being of employees; permafrost; mine inspection challenges; inventory and logistic hardship; and the legislative and regulative …

Study On Mechanical Mechanism Of Roof Fracture Evolution In Deep Stope With Variable Face Length, Wang Xinfeng, Lu Mingyuan
Coal Geology & Exploration
Irregular coal seam mining is easy to cause the problems such as roof stress concentration and abnormal ground pressure behavior. In order to explore the roof fracture law and the structural evolution characteristics of stope with variable length, the roof structure models with four types of boundary conditions were established and analyzed using the small-deflection thin plate bending theory in view of the geometric characteristics and mechanical causes of the abrupt stope with the inclined length of working face changing from small to large in various mining stages. Meanwhile, the roof fracture law and macro-mechanical response were analyzed by MATLAB …

Coal Geology & Exploration
The coal measure fault zone generated by the superimposition of the polytropic movement and multiple structure has important effects on the coal seam gas occurrence. The method of combining the geologic analysis, COMSOL Multiphysics numerical simulation and field data monitoring was adopted to analyze the interaction relations between the stress distribution characteristics and faults of the normal fault zone in the coal measure, study the coal seam permeability variation characteristics influenced by the normal fault zone in the coal measure, and simulate the gas migration status and concentration distribution condition after the formation of the normal fault zone. The coal …

Research On Permeability Model Of Coal Reservoir Along Producing Wellbores, Jia Lidan, Zhang Lin, Li Bobo, Wu Xuehai, Gao Zheng, Wang Zhonghui, Fu Jiale
Coal Geology & Exploration
Permeability is an important parameter to characterize gas flow. In order to ensure the safe and efficient gas drainage, it is necessary to explore the evolution characteristics of coal reservoir gas seepage at different positions from the producing wellbores. However, the effective stress, the gas adsorption/desorption capacity of coal matrix and the temperature of coal reservoir are constantly changing with the gas drainage, and even the drainage damage may occur, which makes the gas migration behavior in coal seam extremely complicated. In order to explore the seepage characteristics of coal reservoir gas during gas drainage, the space-time evolution function of …

Lithium (Li) is an important energy metal, and the global demand for Li has grown rapidly in recent years. The discovery of coal-associated Li deposits in China proves that coal mines may serve as a potential alternative of Li resources. No.20 coal seam in Pu’an mining area in Guizhou province of China was selected as the study object. The basic properties, mineral composition, elemental composition, and occurrence modes of Li of the raw coal and six density-graded samples (obtained through a float-sink test) were determined by using coal proximate analysis, optical microscope, X-Ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), inductively coupled plasma mass …

Coal Geology & Exploration
Crossing ditch mining of shallow coal seam is common in northern Shaanxi mining area, which seriously threatens the safe production and the sound ecological development. The mining-induced overburden fractures and surface cracks are developed as a result of the extension and expansion of microcracks in rock mass. In order to more systematically study the evolution law of overburden microcracks in crossing ditch mining of shallow coal seam, a numerical model of particle flow in coal mining was established with the Particle Flow Code (PFC) numerical simulation platform according to the field ditch profile and borehole data under the background of …

Experimental Study On Stress Relaxation Characteristics Of Soft Dredger Fill Under Uu Triaxial Shear, Yang Aiwu, Yang Shaopeng, Qi Jiejie
Coal Geology & Exploration
Stress relaxation often occurs in the saturated soft clay with poor water permeability under the actual working condition at fast construction speed (fast loading rate), which brings huge hidden dangers to the safe operation of engineering practice. Herein, the unconsolidated undrained triaxial shear test was performed based on the soft dredger fill in Tianjin Binhai using the WF stress path triaxial instrument, and the influence law of such factors as the different initial strain, confining pressure, shear rate, sampling depth and structural properties of the soft dredger fill on its stress relaxation characteristics was analyzed accordingly. According to the test …
