Hence this method is termed the longwall method. In simple words, longwall mining is a method of underground mining, in which coal is extracted from 60m to 200m long faces, moving continuously in one direction over large distances, leaving behind the goaf. The goaf is packed or allowed to cave. Longwall Mining is currently the main …

Large scale underground mining of coal resources in China using longwall mining has resulted in ecological and environment problems, including surface subsidence that is considered serious due to competing interests of prime agricultural lands, food security, and regional economic development. The subsided lands must be rehabilitated …
Longwall mining. navigation search. Longwall mining is a form of underground coal mining where a long wall of coal is mined in a single slice (typically 1-2 m thick).
